• Very rare (

From the digestive system:  common – dyspepsia (nausea, flatulence, diarrhea or constipation, vomiting, decreased or increased appetite), abdominal pain, stomatitis, dry mouth; uncommon (with prolonged use in large doses – ulceration of the gastrointestinal mucosa, impaired liver function); rare-perforation of the gastrointestinal tract, exacerbation of Crohn’s disease, melena, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, transient increase in liver enzymes.

From the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system:  common – headache, dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, nervousness, nightmares; rare-migraine, peripheral neuropathy; very rare-hallucinations, disorientation, speech disorder.

From the side of the senses:  rare – tinnitus, taste changes, blurred vision, conjunctivitis.

From the cardiovascular system:  non-common – tachycardia, arterial hypertension, peripheral edema.

From the hematopoietic system:  reduced platelet aggregation; rare-anemia, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, purpura.

From the urinary system:  rare – impaired renal function, interstitial nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, hematuria (with prolonged use of NSAIDs and diuretics).

Allergic reactions:  common – pruritus, urticaria; uncommon-rhinitis, shortness of breath, bronchospasm, angioedema, anaphylactoid reactions.

Other services:  rare – hemoptysis, metrorrhagia.

Interaction

Ketoprofen reduces the effect of diuretics, antihypertensive agents.

Enhances the effect of oral hypoglycemic drugs.

Increases the effect of some anticonvulsants (for example, phenytoin).

Concomitant use with other NSAIDs, salicylates, corticosteroids, and ethanol increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

When used concomitantly with anticoagulants, thrombolytics, and antiplatelet agents, the risk of bleeding increases.

The risk of developing impaired renal function is increased when taken concomitantly with diuretics or ACE inhibitors.

When used concomitantly, it increases the concentration of cardiac glycosides, slow calcium channel blockers, lithium preparations, cyclosporine, and methotrexate.

Ketoprofen may reduce the effectiveness of mifepristone. NSAIDs should be started no earlier than 8-12 days after mifepristone is discontinued.

How to take, course of use and dosage

To relieve acute pain, the drug is administered intravenously in 2 ml 1-2 times a day.

The duration of parenteral therapy is usually several days.

After achieving the desired effect, the drug is prescribed in the form of capsules, tablets or suppositories.

Overdose

Symptoms: vomiting, melena, convulsions, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting with blood, kidney failure, impaired consciousness, respiratory depression, impaired kidney function.

Treatment: gastric lavage, use of activated charcoal, symptomatic therapy is performed. The use of histamine H2-receptor blockers, prostaglandin inhibitors, and proton pump inhibitors is indicated. There is no specific antidote.

Special instructions

Ketonal can be washed down with milk or taken with antacids to reduce the frequency of gastrointestinal disorders (milk and antacids do not affect the absorption of ketoprofen).

With prolonged use of NSAIDs, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the blood, as well as liver and kidney function, especially in elderly patients.

It is necessary to exercise caution and monitor blood pressure more often when using ketoprofen for the treatment of patients with arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases that lead to fluid retention.

Like other NSAIDs, ketoprofen may mask the symptoms of infectious diseases.
