THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic agent.
ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Ketoprofen has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and
antipyretic properties in
animal pharmacological studies. The anti-inflammatory action is not
mediated through the
pituitary adrenal axis.
The therapeutic effectiveness of Ketoprofen has been demonstrated by;
a reduction in joint
swelling, pain and duration of morning stiffness, and by; increased
grip strength and an
improvement in functional capacity. The drug is also effective in the
relief of post-partum and
post-operative pains.
Like other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Ketoprofen is an
inhibitor of prostaglandin
synthesis. Its potency in this regard is 8 times that of Indomethacin.
Ketoprofen at 200 mg daily was found to be comparable to Naproxen at
750 mg daily in the
effective treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. At 300 mg/day Ketoprofen
is comparable to
phenylbutazone at 600 mg/day. It is comparable to pirprofen in the
effective treatment of
osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, extra-articular rheumatism and
radicular neuralgia. The
anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of Ketoprofen are superior
to those of Ibuprofen.
This property of the drug was also demonstrated against placebo.
Clinical trials in rheumatoid arthritis have demonstrated that the
anti-arthritic activity of
Ketoprofen at 200 mg/day was similar to that of acetylsalicylic acid
at 3.6 g/day.
At 200 mg/day, there was less gastrointestinal bleeding with
Ketoprofen than with acetylsalicylic
acid at
