Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce inflammation, pain, and fever. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), which decreases the production of prostaglandins responsible for inflammation and pain. Ketoprofen is commonly prescribed for conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, and postoperative pain. It is available in oral, topical, and injectable forms and is valued for its effectiveness in managing both acute and chronic inflammatory conditions.
Ketoprofen works by inhibiting the enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which are responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals that mediate inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking COX enzymes, ketoprofen reduces the production of prostaglandins, leading to decreased inflammation, pain relief, and reduced fever.
