✅ Description:
Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic effects. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis and stabilizing lysosomal membranes. Additionally, it inhibits leukotriene synthesis at high concentrations and exhibits antibradykinin activity. Ketoprofen provides pain relief by blocking prostaglandin synthesis both centrally and peripherally. It may also suppress prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system, particularly in the hypothalamus, to exert its antipyretic effect.
Ketoprofen is absorbed rapidly from the gastrointestinal tract and is highly protein-bound (approximately 99%). Its elimination half-life is 1.1 to 4 hours and is primarily metabolized in the liver through conjugation with glucuronic acid. Most of the drug is excreted via urine (50–90%) and feces (1–8%) within 1–5 days. After intramuscular injection, the peak concentration is reached within 0.5 to 0.75 hours.

- Anticoagulants, heparin, and platelet aggregation inhibitors increase bleeding risk.
- Lithium co-administration may raise lithium plasma levels to toxic levels.
- Methotrexate (doses >15 mg/week) may increase the risk of hematologic toxicity.
✔️ Use with precautions:
- Drugs promoting hyperkalemia (e.g., potassium salts, ACE inhibitors, diuretics) increase hyperkalemia risk.

- During the first and second trimesters, the use of ketoprofen should be avoided unless necessary.
- Contraindicated during the third trimester due to potential fetal risks.

✔️ Precautions
- Use cautiously in patients with gastrointestinal disorders, renal or hepatic impairment, hypertension, or heart failure.
- Monitor renal function in elderly patients or those with dehydration.
- NSAIDs may mask signs of infection, such as fever.
