Ketofan 25 Mg 30 Capsules

Description:

Ketofan 25 mg 30 capsules is an oral prescription-strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing ketoprofen.

Indications:

• Relief of pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis (as part of a comprehensive treatment plan prescribed by a physician).
• Treatment of acute musculoskeletal pain, including back pain, sprains, strains, and soft tissue injuries.
• Management of pain associated with periarticular and soft tissue disorders (e.g., tendonitis, bursitis) as directed by a doctor.
• Relief of primary dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps) and associated pelvic pain.
• Adjunctive treatment for acute gout attacks to reduce pain and inflammation.
• Symptomatic relief of migraine pain (when recommended by a healthcare professional).
• Reduction of fever and inflammatory symptoms in appropriate clinical situations as advised by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Ketoprofen – 25 mg per capsule (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, NSAID; propionic acid derivative).
• Excipients: Capsule contains inactive ingredients such as fillers, capsule shell components, and stabilizers (exact excipient list and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the package insert for full details).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration.
• Adults: Typical oral doses of ketoprofen for pain and inflammation are divided throughout the day; your physician will determine the exact dose and frequency based on your condition, age, and response to treatment. The 25 mg strength allows flexible dosing in multiple daily doses.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew.
• It is generally recommended to take ketoprofen with food or after meals to help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach upset or irritation.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Not recommended for children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric specialist.
• Do not use with other NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, or high-dose aspirin) unless your doctor instructs you to do so.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective analgesic action to relieve mild to moderate pain from joint, muscle, and soft tissue conditions.
• Exerts strong anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis (COX-1 and COX-2), helping to reduce swelling, redness, and stiffness.
• Offers antipyretic (fever-reducing) activity, contributing to overall comfort in inflammatory and painful conditions.
• Improves mobility and functional capacity in patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
• Helps relieve menstrual cramps and associated pelvic pain, supporting better daily comfort during menstruation.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to ketoprofen, other NSAIDs, or any component of the capsule.
• Do not use in patients with a history of asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs (risk of severe bronchospasm or anaphylaxis).
• Contraindicated in active peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, or history of recurrent peptic ulcer/bleeding.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disorders (ulcer, gastritis, inflammatory bowel disease) due to increased risk of bleeding and perforation.
• Use with caution in patients with cardiovascular disease (hypertension, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease) as NSAIDs may increase the risk of thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, or stroke, especially with prolonged use or high doses.
• Use carefully in patients with renal or hepatic impairment; dose adjustment and close monitoring may be required.
• Avoid use in severe heart failure, severe renal impairment, or severe hepatic impairment unless strictly supervised by a specialist.
• May increase the risk of bleeding; use with caution in patients taking anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), antiplatelet agents (e.g., aspirin, clopidogrel), or SSRIs, and in those with bleeding disorders.
• Concomitant use with other NSAIDs, high-dose aspirin, or corticosteroids increases the risk of gastrointestinal side effects and should generally be avoided.
• Pregnancy: NSAIDs are generally not recommended, especially in the third trimester due to risk to the fetus and complications during delivery. Use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor.
• Breastfeeding: Use with caution and only under medical advice, as small amounts may pass into breast milk.
• Elderly patients are at higher risk of serious gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular adverse effects; use the lowest effective dose with close monitoring.
• May cause dizziness, drowsiness, or visual disturbances; if affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, or bleeding tendencies.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, indigestion, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, headache, dizziness, or fatigue.
• Gastrointestinal adverse effects such as gastritis, ulceration, or bleeding can occur, especially with prolonged use, high doses, or in high-risk patients (elderly, history of ulcers).
• Allergic reactions may present as rash, itching, hives, swelling of the face or throat, or difficulty breathing. Stop use and seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• Serious but less common side effects include severe stomach pain, black or bloody stools, vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds, chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness, slurred speech, or vision changes. Seek urgent medical help if any of these symptoms appear.
