Indications & Clinical Uses

Ketoprofen is used to manage pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and rheumatic disorders.

  • Rheumatoid arthritis: reduces joint pain, swelling and stiffness.
  • Osteoarthritis: alleviates chronic joint discomfort and improves function.
  • Musculoskeletal pain: provides analgesic effect for sprains, strains and back pain.
  • Acute pain: controls postoperative or injury‑related pain.

How It Works

  • Ketoprofen exerts its effect by reversibly inhibiting cyclooxygenase‑1 (COX‑1) and cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑2) enzymes, which leads to a decrease in prostaglandin synthesis. The reduced prostaglandin levels diminish inflammation, lower pain signalling, and limit fever responses in affected tissues.

Side Effects

Ketoprofen may cause a range of adverse reactions, from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects

  • Dyspepsia or stomach discomfort
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Mild skin rash
  • Diarrhoea

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding
  • Acute renal impairment
  • Hepatic dysfunction
  • Severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome
  • Anaphylactic shock
  • Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction

Precautions & Warnings

When using Ketokaps Med, several safety considerations should be observed.

  • Assess renal function: monitor creatinine and urine output in at‑risk patients.
  • Monitor hepatic function: check liver enzymes periodically.
  • Use the lowest effective dose: limit duration to the shortest period necessary.
  • Avoid in known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reactions occur.
  • Caution with anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Ketoprofen can interact with other medicines, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Warfarin: heightened anticoagulant effect and bleeding risk.
  • Other NSAIDs: additive gastrointestinal toxicity.
  • Corticosteroids: increased risk of ulceration and bleeding.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in renal function.
  • Diuretics: may enhance renal adverse effects.
  • Methotrexate: potential for increased toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ketokaps Med contains ketoprofen, an NSAID that is prescribed to relieve moderate to severe pain and to reduce inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders.

Ketoprofen works by reversibly inhibiting the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels lead to decreased inflammation, pain signalling, and fever.

The appropriate dose of Ketokaps Med is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, age, renal and hepatic function, and other individual factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.

Safety of ketoprofen in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. It is generally avoided in the third trimester and used only if the potential benefit justifies the risk. Breastfeeding mothers should consult their physician before use.

To request Ketokaps Med, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Ketoprofen has a potency comparable to ibuprofen and naproxen but may offer a longer duration of analgesic effect for some patients. Its safety profile is similar to other non‑selective NSAIDs, with comparable risks of gastrointestinal, renal and cardiovascular adverse events.

Ketokaps Med should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.

Ketokaps Med is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food may reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. The exact administration schedule is set by the prescriber.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe renal impairment, hepatic injury, and rare but life‑threatening skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice signs of bleeding, severe abdominal pain, jaundice, or rash.

Ketokaps Med should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcer disease, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and patients in the third trimester of pregnancy. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before starting therapy.
