Ketofan 75 Mg 30 Capsules

Ketofan 75 Mg 30 Capsules

Description:

Ketofan 75 mg 30 capsules is a prescription oral medication containing ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) from the propionic acid derivative group. It is used for the short-term relief of pain, inflammation, and swelling associated with musculoskeletal and joint disorders, as well as acute painful conditions. Ketofan works by inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis, thereby providing analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. This product is intended for adult use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Relief of pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
• Treatment of acute exacerbations of musculoskeletal, periarticular, and soft tissue disorders (e.g., sprains, strains, back pain).
• Management of pain associated with primary dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain).
• Relief of acute migraine attacks (with or without associated headache-related inflammation) as directed by a physician.
• Adjunct treatment in acute gout attacks to reduce pain and inflammation.
• Symptomatic relief of moderate acute pain such as dental pain, post-traumatic pain, or post-operative pain, as prescribed.
