NSAIDs. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and decongestant effects. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis at the level of cyclooxygenase.

Ketoprofen does not adversely affect articular cartilage.
Pharmacokinetics:

Ketoprofen penetrates the subcutaneous tissue, ligaments and muscles, synovial fluid and reaches therapeutic concentrations there. The concentration of the drug in blood plasma is extremely low.
Metabolism and excretion
Ketoprofen is metabolized in the liver to form conjugates, which are mainly excreted in the urine. Ketoprofen is characterized by slow excretion in urine.
Pharmacokinetics in special clinical cases
Ketoprofen metabolism does not depend on age, the presence of severe renal failure or cirrhosis.

Allergic reactions: very rarely - angioedema, anaphylaxis.
From the skin and skin appendages: infrequently - erythema, itching, burning, eczema, transient dermatitis of mild severity rarely - urticaria, rash, photosensitivity, bullous dermatitis, purpura, erythema multiforme, lichenoid dermatitis, skin necrosis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome is very rare - an isolated case of severe contact dermatitis (due to poor hygiene and insolation), an isolated case of severe generalized photodermatitis, toxic epidermal necrolysis.

From the urinary system: very rarely - an isolated case of impaired renal function in a patient with chronic renal failure in isolated cases - interstitial nephritis.
Drug interaction

The simultaneous use of other forms for external and local use (ointments, gels) containing ketoprofen or other NSAIDs is not recommended.
Concomitant use of acetylsalicylic acid reduces the degree of binding of ketoprofen to blood plasma proteins.
