Ketoprofene Lp Zentiva (Ketoprofen)

Ketoprofen blocks both COX‑1 and COX‑2 enzymes, preventing the formation of prostaglandins that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it diminishes the inflammatory response and provides analgesia.

The appropriate dose of ketoprofen is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, age, renal and hepatic function, and other individual factors. Patients should follow the dosage instructions provided by their healthcare professional.

Ketoprofen is generally avoided during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, because of potential risks to the fetus and complications during labor. Use while breastfeeding is also discouraged unless the benefit outweighs the risk, and only under medical supervision.

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.

Ketoprofen is similar to other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen in its mechanism of COX inhibition, but it often provides a slightly longer duration of analgesia. Its safety profile is comparable, though individual tolerance and specific organ risk factors may influence the choice of agent.

Store the product at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep it in the original container, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain stability and potency.

Ketoprofene Lp Zentiva is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It may be taken with or without food, but taking it with meals can help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, liver injury, kidney impairment, and increased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice any of these signs.

Ketoprofen should be avoided in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs, active gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding, severe renal or hepatic impairment, uncontrolled hypertension, and in the third trimester of pregnancy. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential before starting therapy.
