pharmachologic effect

NSAID, a derivative of propionic acid. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of the activity of COX, the main enzyme of the metabolism of arachidonic acid, which is a precursor of prostaglandins, which play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammation, pain and fever.

The pronounced analgesic effect of ketoprofen is due to two mechanisms: peripheral (indirectly, through suppression of prostaglandin synthesis) and central (due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as the effect on the biological activity of other neurotropic substances that play a key role in the release of pain mediators in the spinal cord). brain). In addition, ketoprofen has anti-bradykinin activity, stabilizes lysosomal membranes, and causes significant inhibition of neutrophil activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Suppresses platelet aggregation.

Side effect

From the digestive system: pain in the epigastric region, nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, anorexia, gastralgia, liver dysfunction; rarely - erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, bleeding and perforation of the gastrointestinal tract.

From the side of the central nervous system: headache, dizziness, tinnitus, drowsiness.

From the urinary system: renal dysfunction.

Allergic reactions: skin rash; rarely - bronchospasm.

Local reactions: when used in the form of suppositories, irritation of the rectal mucosa, painful defecation is possible; when applied in the form of a gel - itching, skin rash at the site of application.

Application during pregnancy and lactation

Contraindicated for use in the third trimester of pregnancy. In the I and II trimesters of pregnancy, the use of ketoprofen is possible in cases where the potential benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus.

If it is necessary to use ketoprofen during lactation, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding.

Application for violations of liver function

Contraindications for oral administration are severe liver dysfunction.

Use with extreme caution in patients with liver disease. In the course of treatment, systematic monitoring of liver function is necessary.

Application for impaired renal function

Contraindications for oral administration are severe renal dysfunction.

Use with extreme caution in patients with kidney disease. In the course of treatment, systematic monitoring of renal function is necessary.

Application in children

Contraindicated under the age of 15 years (for retard tablets).

special instructions

It is used with extreme caution in patients with liver and kidney diseases, a history of gastrointestinal tract diseases, dyspeptic symptoms, immediately after major surgical interventions. In the course of treatment, systematic monitoring of liver and kidney function is required.

Drug interactions

With the simultaneous use of ketoprofen with other NSAIDs, the risk of developing erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract and bleeding increases; with antihypertensive drugs (including with beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics) - it is possible to reduce their action; with thrombolytics - an increased risk of bleeding.

With simultaneous use with acetylsalicylic acid, it is possible to reduce the binding of ketoprofen to blood plasma proteins and increase its plasma clearance; with heparin, ticlopidine - increased risk of bleeding; with lithium preparations - it is possible to increase the concentration of lithium in the blood plasma to toxic by reducing its renal excretion.

With simultaneous use with diuretics, the risk of developing renal failure increases due to a decrease in renal blood flow due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, and against the background of hypovolemia.

With simultaneous use with probenecid, it is possible to reduce the clearance of ketoprofen and its binding to blood plasma proteins; with methotrexate - it is possible to increase the side effects of methotrexate.

With the simultaneous use of warfarin, the development of severe, sometimes fatal bleeding is possible.
