Pharmacology, Interactions, and Contraindications
Mechanism Of Action
Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its antiinflammatory effects are believed to be due to inhibition of both cylooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cylooxygenase-2 (COX-2) which leads to the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, and leukotriene synthesis, to have antibrady-kinin activity, as well as to have lysosomal membrane-stabilizing action. Antipyretic effects may be due to action on the hypothalamus, resulting in an increased peripheral blood flow, vasodilation, and subsequent heat dissipation. (source: Drug Bank)
Pharmacology
Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Ketoprofen has pharmacologic actions similar to those of other prototypical NSAIDs, that is thought to be associated with the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Ketoprofen is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, dysmenorrhea, and to alleviate moderate pain. (source: Drug Bank)
