Ketonal (Ketoprofen)

Ketoprofen blocks the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX‑1 and COX‑2), which are essential for producing prostaglandins—chemical messengers that promote inflammation, pain and fever. By limiting prostaglandin synthesis, ketoprofen reduces these symptoms and helps restore normal tissue function.

The appropriate dose of Ketonal is determined by a qualified prescriber based on the patient’s specific condition, age, weight and overall health status. Healthcare professionals tailor the regimen to achieve optimal pain control while minimizing potential risks.

Ketonal should be used during pregnancy or lactation only if clearly needed and after a thorough risk‑benefit assessment by a healthcare provider. NSAIDs may affect fetal development and can pass into breast milk, so professional guidance is essential before starting therapy.

Ketonal (ketoprofen) offers analgesic and anti‑inflammatory potency comparable to ibuprofen and naproxen, but its longer half‑life may allow less frequent dosing for some patients. Individual response varies, and clinicians consider factors such as gastrointestinal tolerance, renal function and cardiovascular risk when selecting an NSAID.

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

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

Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe renal impairment, hepatotoxicity, and increased cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke. Prompt medical attention is required if symptoms like black stools, sudden kidney dysfunction, jaundice or chest pain occur.

Ketonal is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs, active peptic ulcer disease, severe heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, and in patients who have experienced a recent myocardial infarction. It should also be avoided in those taking anticoagulants without close medical supervision.
