Ketonal (Ketoprofen 100 mg, 20 Tablets) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) widely used for effective relief of pain, inflammation, and fever. It contains the active ingredient Ketoprofen, which belongs to the propionic acid derivatives group of NSAIDs. Known for its strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, Ketonal is frequently prescribed in Europe and other countries to treat various musculoskeletal, rheumatic, and post-traumatic conditions.
✔ What Ketonal is Used For
Ketonal provides targeted relief from:
Joint and muscle pain caused by arthritis, osteoarthritis, or rheumatism.
Back pain and sciatica, including chronic lower back conditions.
Post-surgical and post-traumatic inflammation (sprains, strains, bruises, injuries).
Headaches and migraines, when linked to inflammation.
Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea).
Fever reduction in certain inflammatory conditions.
Its ability to quickly reduce swelling, pain, and stiffness makes it a popular choice for both short-term and chronic use under medical supervision.
✔ How Ketonal Works
The active substance, Ketoprofen, blocks the production of prostaglandins—chemical compounds responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Ketonal effectively lowers inflammation and restores mobility, while also decreasing sensitivity to pain.
✔ Who Should Use Ketonal
Ketonal is recommended for adults who suffer from moderate to severe pain and inflammatory conditions. It may be used for both short-term acute pain (after injuries, surgeries) and long-term therapy in chronic musculoskeletal disorders (arthritis, rheumatism).
⚠️ Precautions and Warnings
Not recommended for patients with stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, severe liver or kidney disease.
Avoid use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, unless approved by a doctor.
Should not be combined with other NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin) without medical advice.
Long-term use may increase the risk of gastrointestinal irritation, ulcers, or cardiovascular events.
Patients should always follow medical guidance and report any side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, dizziness, or allergic reactions.

✔ Why Choose Ketonal?

It is also widely recognized for its effectiveness in managing post-traumatic and post-surgical pain.
