Ketonal (Ketoprofen)

Ketoprofen blocks the activity of cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for producing prostaglandins. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it diminishes the inflammatory response, reduces pain signaling, and helps lower fever.

The specific dose of Ketonal is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, age, weight, and overall health. Healthcare professionals tailor the regimen to achieve the desired therapeutic effect while minimizing risk.

Ketonal should be used only if clearly needed during pregnancy, and it is generally avoided in the third trimester because of potential fetal risks. Breastfeeding mothers should consult a healthcare provider, as ketoprofen can pass into breast milk.

To request Ketonal, 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.

Ketonal (ketoprofen) offers a balance of analgesic and anti‑inflammatory potency comparable to ibuprofen and naproxen, but it may have a slightly higher risk of gastrointestinal irritation. Choice of NSAID depends on individual patient tolerance, comorbidities, and physician preference.

Ketonal should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the product away from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources to maintain its stability and potency.

Ketonal is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, though taking it with meals may reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions regarding timing and frequency.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation, severe liver injury, allergic reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice signs of these conditions.

Ketonal is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcers, severe heart failure, or significant renal or hepatic impairment. It should also be avoided in the third trimester of pregnancy.
