Ketoprofen, an NSAID, acts on inflammatory pathways to alleviate pain in musculoskeletal conditions.

- Mild to moderate musculoskeletal pain: provides analgesic relief and reduces inflammation. - Sprains, strains and tendonitis: diminishes localized swelling and discomfort. - Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis pain: serves as adjunctive therapy to improve joint comfort.

Topical ketoprofen may cause local and systemic adverse reactions, which are categorized by frequency.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: redness, itching or burning at the application site. - Dryness: mild dryness of the treated skin. - Transient headache: occasional brief headache. - Local swelling: slight swelling where applied.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction: rash, hives, facial or throat swelling requiring immediate medical attention. - Contact dermatitis: intense skin inflammation with blistering. - Systemic NSAID toxicity: gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, though rare with topical use.

When using Ketospray Forte, consider the following precautions.

- Assess skin integrity: avoid application on broken, infected or irritated skin. - Monitor for hypersensitivity: discontinue if signs of allergic reaction appear. - Use with caution in elderly patients: increased risk of systemic absorption. - Avoid concurrent use with other topical NSAIDs: may increase local toxicity. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ketoprofen may interact with other medicines; interactions are grouped by severity.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent oral NSAIDs: increased risk of systemic adverse effects. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): heightened bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: may reduce renal clearance of ketoprofen. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: potential for reduced renal function. - Lithium: possible increase in lithium serum levels.
