Ketoprofene Cristers (Ketoprofen)

Ketoprofen works by non‑selectively blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which are essential for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. By lowering prostaglandin production, the drug reduces the inflammatory response and the perception of pain at the site of injury or disease.

The appropriate dose of Ketoprofene Cristers is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s medical condition, age, weight and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose without medical guidance.

Safety data for ketoprofen in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It is generally advised to avoid NSAIDs, including ketoprofen, during the third trimester of pregnancy and to discuss potential risks with a healthcare provider before use while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Ketoprofen shares a similar mechanism of action with other NSAIDs, providing analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effects. Compared with ibuprofen or naproxen, ketoprofen may have a slightly longer half‑life, allowing for less frequent dosing, but individual response and safety profiles vary, so choice should be individualized by the prescriber.
