Ketolist Retard: anti-inflammatory drug based on ketoprofen
Ketolist Retard is an anti-inflammatory drug, the main active ingredient of which is ketoprofen, a derivative of propionic acid. The drug is intended for the treatment of various diseases associated with inflammation and pain.
Ketoprofen is one of the most effective drugs among NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and has a pronounced anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effect. Ketoprofen blocks the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are the main mediators of inflammation, which leads to a decrease in pain and a decrease in the inflammatory process.
Indications for the use of Ketolist Retard include the following diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, nonspecific spondylitis (ankylosing and psoriatic spondylitis), pain syndrome (postoperative, post-traumatic pain, pain with bone metastases), gouty arthritis, pseudogout, osteoarthritis, extra-articular rheumatism (tenosynovitis, bursitis, capsulitis), renal colic, algodismenorrhea. In addition, Ketolist Retard gel can be used to treat uncomplicated injuries (sprains and ruptures of tendons and ligaments, muscle bruises, swelling).
It should be noted that Ketolist Retard has a number of contraindications, including hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, renal and liver failure, gastric and duodenal ulcers in the acute phase, “aspirin” asthma, pregnancy and childhood. Ketolist Retard suppositories are contraindicated for proctitis and proctorragia, and the gel is contraindicated for dermatoses, eczema, infected abrasions and wounds (wetting).
In addition, when using Ketolist Retard, side effects may occur, such as headache, dizziness, tinnitus, drowsiness, weakness, visual disturbances, dyspeptic symptoms (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence, constipation, anorexia), stomatitis , impaired renal and liver function, hyperemia, allergic reactions.
You should also consider possible interactions of Ketolist Retard with other drugs. For example, ketoprofen can enhance the effect of anticoagulants, and also increase the risk of developing peptic ulcers when used simultaneously with glucocorticosteroids, anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and alcohol.
