Ketoprofene Teva (Ketoprofen)

Ketoprofen works by non‑selectively blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels diminish inflammation, pain, and fever in affected tissues.

The appropriate dose of ketoprofen is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, age, weight, and renal or hepatic function. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Ketoprofen is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, because of potential risks to the fetus and complications during labor. Limited data are available for breastfeeding, so clinicians usually advise caution and consider alternative therapies.

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.

Both ketoprofen and ibuprofen belong to the NSAID class and share similar mechanisms of COX inhibition. Ketoprofen is often considered slightly more potent on a milligram‑per‑milligram basis, but the safety profile, dosing frequency and individual patient response can differ, so clinicians choose based on therapeutic goals and tolerability.

Ketoprofene Teva should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and excessive heat. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

Ketoprofene Teva is administered orally. Patients should swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, preferably with food or milk to lessen gastrointestinal irritation, unless the prescriber advises otherwise.

Serious risks include gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, renal impairment, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and heightened bleeding when combined with anticoagulants. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice black stools, severe abdominal pain, sudden swelling, or skin rash.

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, and in patients taking anticoagulants without close monitoring. It is also contraindicated in late pregnancy.
