Ketonal Active (Ketoprofen)

Ketoprofen works by blocking the cyclooxygenase (COX‑1 and COX‑2) enzymes, which are essential for producing prostaglandins. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it diminishes inflammation, pain signaling, and fever, providing therapeutic relief in inflammatory disorders.

The appropriate dose of Ketonal Active is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, age, weight, and overall health status. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Ketoprofen, like other NSAIDs, is generally avoided during the third trimester of pregnancy because it may affect fetal cardiovascular function. Its safety in early pregnancy and while breastfeeding is not well established, so a healthcare provider should evaluate the risks and benefits before use.

Ketoprofen offers analgesic and anti‑inflammatory potency comparable to ibuprofen and naproxen, but it may have a slightly faster onset of action. Its side‑effect profile is similar to other non‑selective NSAIDs, with gastrointestinal and cardiovascular considerations that must be weighed against alternative agents.

Ketonal Active should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture, heat and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain stability.

Ketonal Active is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but patients who experience stomach upset may benefit from taking it with meals or an antacid, as advised by their prescriber.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, renal impairment, and increased cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice signs of bleeding, severe rash, or chest pain.

Ketonal Active should be avoided by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs, active peptic ulcer disease, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, and those in the third trimester of pregnancy. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential before starting therapy.
