Ketoprofen Lgo (Ketoprofen)

Ketoprofen works by reversibly blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes. This inhibition prevents the formation of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that promote inflammation, pain and fever. Lower prostaglandin levels lead to reduced swelling and analgesic effects at the site of application.

The specific dose and frequency are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the condition being treated, the size of the affected area and patient factors. Typically, a thin layer is applied to the skin and may be repeated two to three times daily, but exact instructions must come from the prescriber.

Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established for topical ketoprofen. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their healthcare provider before using the product.

To place an order, 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 (including any cold‑chain requirements) and necessary import documentation.

Ketoprofen Lgo is comparable to other topical NSAIDs such as diclofenac gel. Both provide localized pain relief with limited systemic exposure. Ketoprofen may have a slightly stronger COX‑1/COX‑2 inhibition profile, which can translate into effective anti‑inflammatory action, but individual response and tolerability can vary, so selection should be based on clinical judgment.

Store Ketoprofen Lgo below 25 °C in its original packaging. Protect the container from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid using it after the expiry date indicated on the label.

Ketoprofen Lgo is applied externally to clean, dry, intact skin. A thin layer is spread over the affected area and gently massaged until absorbed. The exact amount and frequency should follow the prescribing clinician’s directions, and hands should be washed after application to prevent accidental contact with eyes or mucous membranes.

Serious risks, although rare, include severe allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis, extensive contact dermatitis, photosensitivity leading to severe sunburn, and systemic NSAID effects like gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding if significant systemic absorption occurs.

Ketoprofen Lgo should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or any NSAID, those with broken or infected skin at the intended site, patients with a history of severe photosensitivity, and anyone currently using other topical or systemic NSAIDs without medical advice.
