non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

ATX code: M01AE03.

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics
Ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Ketoprofen has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects.
Ketoprofen blocks the action of the enzyme cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX1 and COX2) and, in part, lipoxygenase, which leads to suppression of prostaglandin synthesis (including in the central nervous system (CNS), most likely in the hypothalamus).
Stabilizes in vitro and in vivo liposomal membranes, at high concentrations in vitro Ketoprofen inhibits the synthesis of bradykinin and leukotrienes.
Ketoprofen does not adversely affect the condition of the articular cartilage.
Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
Ketoprofen is easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, bioavailability is 90%. Communication with blood plasma proteins - 99%. When 100 mg of ketoprofen is taken orally, the maximum concentration (Cmax) of the drug in blood plasma (10.4 μg / ml) is reached after 1 hour 22 minutes.
Distribution
Ketoprofen is 99% bound to plasma proteins, mainly to the albumin fraction. The volume of distribution is 0.1 l/kg.
Ketoprofen penetrates into the synovial fluid and reaches a concentration there equal to 30% of the plasma concentration.
The plasma clearance of ketoprofen is approximately 0.08 l/kg/h.
Metabolism and excretion
Ketoprofen undergoes intensive metabolism under the action of microsomal liver enzymes, the half-life (T1 / 2) is less than 2 hours. Ketoprofen binds to glucuronic acid and is excreted from the body in the form of glucuronide. There are no active metabolites of ketoprofen. Up to 80% of ketoprofen is excreted by the kidneys within 24 hours, mainly in the form of ketoprofen glucuronide. When using the drug at a dose of 100 mg or more, excretion by the kidneys may be difficult.
In patients with severe renal failure most of the drug is excreted through the intestines. When taking high doses, hepatic clearance also increases. Up to 40% of the drug is excreted through the intestines.
In patients with liver failure the plasma concentration of ketoprofen is doubled (probably due to hypoalbuminemia, and as a result of this high level of unbound active ketoprofen); such patients should be prescribed the drug in the minimum therapeutic dose.
In patients with renal insufficiency the clearance of ketoprofen is reduced, however, dose adjustment is required only in case of severe renal insufficiency.
In elderly patients the metabolism and excretion of ketoprofen are slower, which is of clinical importance only for patients with severe renal insufficiency.

History of peptic ulcer disease, history of bronchial asthma, clinically significant cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral arterial diseases, dyslipidemia, progressive liver disease, hyperbilirubinemia, alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, liver failure, renal failure (CC 30-60 ml / min), chronic heart failure, arterial hypertension, blood diseases, dehydration, diabetes mellitus, anamnestic data on the development of ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), the presence of infection Helicobacter pylori, older age, smoking, concomitant therapy with anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), antiplatelet agents (eg, acetylsalicylic acid), oral glucocorticosteroids (eg, prednisolone), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (eg, citalopram, sertraline), long-term use of NSAIDs.

Use during pregnancy and during breastfeeding

Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis may have an undesirable effect on the course of pregnancy and/or embryonic development. Data obtained in the course of epidemiological studies with the use of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors in early pregnancy confirm an increased risk of spontaneous abortion and the formation of heart defects (~ 1-1.5%).
It is possible to use the drug for pregnant women in the I and II trimesters of pregnancy only if the benefits to the mother justify the possible risk to the fetus.
The use of ketoprofen in pregnant women during the third trimester of pregnancy is contraindicated due to the possibility of developing weakness of the labor activity of the uterus and / or premature closure of the ductus arteriosus, a possible increase in bleeding time, oligohydramnios and renal failure.
To date, there are no data on the release of ketoprofen into breast milk, therefore, if it is necessary to use ketoprofen by a nursing mother, the issue of stopping breastfeeding should be addressed.

Dosage and administration

inside.
Capsules Ketonal ® should be swallowed whole during or after a meal with water or milk (the volume of liquid should be at least 100 ml). Usually the drug is prescribed 1-2 capsules 2-3 times a day.

Overdose

As with other NSAIDs, overdose of ketoprofen may cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hematemesis, melena, impaired consciousness, respiratory depression, convulsions, impaired renal function and renal failure.
In case of overdose, gastric lavage and the use of activated charcoal are indicated.
Treatment is symptomatic; the effect of ketoprofen on the gastrointestinal tract can be reduced by drugs that reduce the secretion of the gastric glands (for example, proton pump inhibitors) and prostaglandins.

Interaction with other drugs

Ketoprofen may weaken the effect diuretics and antihypertensive drugs and enhance action oral hypoglycemic drugs and some anticonvulsants(phenytoin).
Sharing with others NSAIDs, salicylates, glucocorticosteroids, ethanol increases the risk of adverse events in the gastrointestinal tract.
Simultaneous use with anticoagulants(heparin, warfarin), thrombolytics, antiplatelet agents(ticlopidine, clopidogrel), pentoxifylline increases the risk of bleeding.
Simultaneous use with potassium salts, potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs, low molecular weight heparins, cyclosporine, tacrolimus and trimethoprim increases the risk of developing hyperkalemia.
Increases plasma concentration cardiac glycosides, "slow" calcium channel blockers, lithium preparations, cyclosporine, methotrexate and digoxin.
Increases toxicity methotrexate and nephrotoxicity cyclosporine.
Simultaneous use with probenecid significantly reduces the clearance of ketoprofen in plasma.
Combined reception with glucocorticosteroids and others NSAIDs (including selective COX2 inhibitors)) increases the likelihood of side effects (in particular, from the gastrointestinal tract).
NSAIDs may decrease effectiveness mifepristone. NSAIDs should be started no earlier than 8-12 days after the abolition of mifepristone.

special instructions

Ketoprofen should not be combined with other NSAIDs and / or COX2 inhibitors.
With long-term use of NSAIDs, it is necessary to periodically evaluate a clinical blood test, monitor kidney and liver function, especially in elderly patients (over 65 years), and conduct a fecal occult blood test.
Care must be taken and blood pressure monitored more often when using ketoprofen for the treatment of patients suffering from arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases that lead to fluid retention in the body.
In the event of violations of the organs of vision, treatment should be stopped immediately.
Like other NSAIDs, ketoprofen may mask the symptoms of infectious and inflammatory diseases. In case of detection of signs of infection or deterioration of health during the use of the drug, you should immediately consult a doctor.
If there is a history of contraindications from the gastrointestinal tract (bleeding, perforation, peptic ulcer), long-term therapy and the use of high doses of ketoprofen, the patient should be under close medical supervision.
Due to the important role of prostaglandins in maintaining renal blood flow, special care should be taken when using ketoprofen in patients with heart or kidney failure, as well as in the treatment of elderly patients taking diuretics, and patients who, for whatever reason, have a decrease in circulating volume blood.
The drug should be discontinued before major surgery.
The use of ketoprofen can affect female fertility, so patients with infertility (including those undergoing examination) are not recommended to use the drug.

Influence on the ability to drive vehicles, mechanisms

There are no data on the negative effect of the drug Ketonal ® in recommended doses on the ability to drive a car or work with mechanisms. At the same time, patients who experience drowsiness, dizziness or other unpleasant sensations from the nervous system, including visual impairment, while using the drug, should refrain from driving vehicles and engaging in potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Ketonal (tablets, ointment, cream, injections, suppositories) - instructions for use, analogues, reviews, price

Thanks

Ketonal is a non-narcotic and non-hormonal drug with a powerful analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect. Ketonal is used to relieve severe or moderate pain of various origins, for example, with arthritis, spondylitis, osteoarthritis, sciatica, myalgia, neuralgia, colic, menstruation, trauma and after surgery.

Varieties, names, forms of release and composition of Ketonal

Currently, the following varieties of Ketonal are available on the pharmaceutical market:
  • Ketonal;
  • Ketonal Duo;
  • Ketonal Uno.
All of these varieties of the drug have the same therapeutic effect, but differ from each other in the form of release, dosages of the active substance and the predominant scope. For example, some varieties of Ketonal are applied topically, others are taken orally, others are administered intramuscularly, but they are all used to relieve pain, reduce the severity of the inflammatory process and lower body temperature.

Dosage forms of Ketonal varieties are different. So, each of the preparations Ketonal Duo and Ketonal Uno is produced in a single dosage form, and Ketonal - in seven forms. So, Ketonal Uno and Ketonal Duo are available in the form of capsules for oral administration, but simply Ketonal in the following dosage forms:

  • Prolonged action tablets;
  • Coated tablets;
  • Capsules;
  • Solution for intramuscular or intravenous administration;
  • rectal suppositories;
  • Cream;
  • Gel.
Cream Ketonal is often called an ointment, but in both cases the same dosage form is meant. In addition, the cream is called "Ketonal 5", since the concentration of the active substance in this dosage form is exactly 5%. A solution for intramuscular or intravenous administration is called "Ketonal injections" or "Ketonal ampoules". And rectal suppositories in everyday speech are almost always called "Ketonal suppositories".

The composition of all varieties and dosage forms of Ketonal includes the same active substance - ketoprofen in the following dosages:

  • Coated tablets Ketonal - 100 mg;
  • Long-acting tablets Ketonal - 150 mg;
  • Capsules Ketonal - 50 ml;
  • Solution for injection Ketonal - 50 mg / ml;
  • Rectal suppositories Ketonal - 100 mg;
  • Gel Ketonal - 2.5% (2.5 mg per 1 g of gel);
  • Cream Ketonal - 5% (5 mg per 1 g of cream);
  • Capsules Ketonal Duo - 150 mg;
  • Capsules Ketonal Uno - 200 mg.
Thus, it is obvious that most of the release forms and varieties of Ketonal are intended for oral administration (tablets, capsules, solution, suppositories) and only two - cream and gel - for external use. This is due to the fact that taking drugs orally provides pain relief with a wider range and types of pain syndrome compared to forms for external use.

Therapeutic effects of Ketonal

The therapeutic effects of Ketonal are due to its active ingredient - ketoprofen. This substance and, accordingly, all varieties of Ketonal belong to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs), which have the following three effects:
  • Anesthetic;
  • Anti-inflammatory;
  • Antipyretic.
Ketonal also has all the indicated effects, and its varieties have the most pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, and the antipyretic effect is somewhat weaker. Therefore, Ketonal is used as an anesthetic drug for pain syndrome of various origins.

All three effects of Ketonal are provided by the ability of the active substance to block the work of enzymes cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenase, as a result of which the formation of special substances - prostaglandins, which provoke the development and support the inflammatory reaction, cause a pain impulse and an increase in body temperature, stops. That is, Ketonal blocks the formation of substances that cause inflammation, temperature and pain.

A distinctive feature of Ketonal is a wide range of analgesic action, which consists in the impact on both central and peripheral nerve fibers responsible for the perception of pain impulses. That is why Ketonal is highly effective anesthetic drug in the presence of pain in various peripheral tissues and organs, such as joints, skin, ligaments, muscles, veins, lymphatic and blood vessels. By reducing the inflammatory response, Ketonal not only relieves pain in diseases of the joints, but also reduces morning stiffness and swelling, increasing the range of motion.

Indications for use

Indications for the use of Ketonal tablets, capsules, injections and suppositories, as well as Ketonal Duo and Ketonal Uno capsules are exactly the same, and the choice of a specific type of drug and release form can be based on subjective factors, such as ease of administration, etc. The indications for use for external forms of Ketonal are somewhat different - gel and cream. Therefore, we will consider separately the indications for the varieties of Ketonal for oral administration and for external use.

Injections, tablets, capsules, suppositories Ketonal, Ketonal Duo and Ketonal Uno - indications for use

Instructions for use

Consider the rules for the use of Ketonal of various varieties and dosage forms separately to avoid confusion.

Ketonal tablets, Ketonal Duo and Ketonal Uno - instructions for use

Capsules and tablets of regular or prolonged action must be swallowed whole, not chewed, not chewed, not crushed in any other way, but with a sufficient amount of water or whole milk (at least one full glass). Capsules and both types of tablets are recommended to be taken during or immediately after a meal, as this will reduce the risk of side effects from the digestive tract, as well as discomfort in the stomach. The use of milk as a means to drink a tablet or capsule is also aimed at reducing discomfort in the stomach. However, Ketonal can be washed down with milk only to those people who normally tolerate it.

In principle, you can take capsules and tablets before meals, and drink them with water, not milk, but in this case, a person may experience pain or an unpleasant painful sensation in the stomach, which disappears on its own within 40-60 minutes.

To relieve pain, the drug is taken in the following standard dosages:

  • Capsules Ketonal - 1 - 2 pieces 2 - 3 times a day;
  • Regular tablets in the Ketonal shell - 1 piece 2 times a day;
  • Long-acting tablets Ketonal - 1 piece once a day;
  • Capsules Ketonal Uno - 1 piece once a day;
  • Capsules Ketonal Duo - 1 piece once a day.
The maximum allowable daily dosage for all varieties of Ketonal is 200 mg.

The duration of therapy with Ketonal is individual and is determined by the rate of disappearance of the pain syndrome. That is, the drug is taken as needed when pain occurs and continues until they stop. Ketonal is suitable for long-term use in pain syndromes of various localization.

Tablets and capsules must be taken, observing approximately equal time intervals between two subsequent doses, which will ensure reliable relief of pain and minimal risk of complications. For example, if regular tablets need to be taken twice a day, then it is best to drink them, observing a gap of 10 to 12 hours. Long-acting tablets are optimally taken every day at the same time.

Ketonal tablets and capsules can be used in combination with rectal suppositories, gel or cream. However, it must be ensured that the total daily dosage of the active substance in all forms used does not exceed 200 mg.

When taking Ketonal, it should be remembered that the drug does not cure the disease, but only eliminates painful symptoms, allowing a person to fully work and lead a normal life. Therefore, in combination with Ketonal, it is necessary to carry out the necessary treatment aimed at the complete elimination of the disease or a change in its course.

Ketonal injections - instructions for use

For the production of injections, a ready-made solution of Ketonal is used in 2 ml ampoules with an active substance concentration of 50 mg / ml. This means that a full ampoule contains 100 mg of the active substance. The solution can be administered intramuscularly and intravenously.

Intramuscularly, the administration of Ketonal 100 mg (1 ampoule) 1 to 2 times a day is indicated in the area of ​​the body where the muscle layer comes close to the skin, for example, in the outer upper third of the thigh, upper shoulder, etc. It is not recommended to inject the solution into the buttock, since in this area the muscles lie very deep, and there is a fat layer directly under the skin. If the solution gets into the fat layer, it will not be absorbed into the blood and the desired effect will not be achieved.

Intramuscular injections can be made at home on their own, if the person is not afraid and knows the technique of manipulation. To make an injection, it is necessary to draw the contents of the ampoule into a sterile syringe, then lift it up with a needle and tap the surface with your finger in the direction from the piston to the needle holder so that air bubbles come off the walls and collect at the surface of the liquid. After that, you should press on the piston so that a drop of solution comes out at the tip of the needle and all the air comes out with it. Then the syringe, ready for injection, is put aside in some clean place and the place where the injection will be made is prepared.

The selected injection site is wiped with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol or other antiseptic. Then, holding the syringe with the working hand, the needle is inserted vertically into the tissues, after which, slowly pressing the piston, the entire solution is released. The needle is removed from the tissues and the injection site is again wiped with a swab moistened with an antiseptic.

For each injection, it is necessary to choose a place that is at least 1 cm away from the previous one so that purulent foci do not form under the skin.

Intravenously, Ketonal is administered only in the form of an infusion (dropper) in a hospital setting. You can not put droppers with Ketonal on your own. Depending on the duration of the administration of the solution, all intravenous infusions are divided into long and short.

For short intravenous infusions, 100-200 mg (1-2 ampoules) of Ketonal should be diluted in 100 ml of saline and administered over 30-90 minutes. Ketonal can be re-introduced only after at least 8 hours.

For long-term infusions, 100-200 mg (1-2 ampoules) of Ketonal are diluted in 500 ml of saline and administered within 8 hours. Re-introduction of the solution is also possible no earlier than after 8 hours. Ketonal can also be dissolved in a lactate-containing Ringer's solution or 5% dextrose solution.

Since Ketonal solutions are sensitive to light, the infusion bottles must be wrapped in foil until the end of the drug administration.

Intravenous or intramuscular administration of Ketonal is carried out if it is impossible to take the drug orally or if a quick analgesic effect is needed. Injections can be combined with the simultaneous administration of oral forms of Ketonal (capsules, tablets) or rectal suppositories. The maximum allowable daily dosage when using all forms of Ketonal is 200 mg. The duration of the use of drugs is determined by the rate of relief of pain.

Ketonal candles - instructions for use

Adults need to inject one suppository into the rectum 1 to 2 times a day. Candles can be used simultaneously with any other dosage forms of Ketonal, remembering that the total maximum allowable daily dosage is 200 mg.

Candles are used up to the normalization of the condition and the relief of pain syndrome sufficient for maintaining a habitual lifestyle.

Candles must be inserted into the rectum after a bowel movement. If bowel movements do not occur on their own, then an enema or laxative should be taken. After defecation, the area of ​​the anus and the skin of the perineum are washed with warm water and soap and a suppository is inserted into the rectum.

For a minimally traumatic introduction of a candle, it is necessary to kneel and elbows or squat down, after which the index finger of the working hand (right for right-handers and left for left-handers) gently push the suppository inward. The candle should be pushed into the intestine until the finger plunges into the anus to the middle.

After the introduction of the suppository, the hands are again washed with soap and water.

Do not use Ketonal suppositories in the presence of any diseases of the rectum.

Instructions for use Ketonal cream (ointment) and gel

A strip of gel or cream with a length of 3 to 5 cm is squeezed out of the tube and applied to the skin, which is located above the focus of pain. The cream or gel is gently rubbed into the skin with massage movements until completely absorbed. Preparations can be applied to the skin 1-2 times a day. An occlusive (tight, non-breathing and squeezing) bandage should not be applied to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin treated with Ketonal. It is better to leave the skin free or apply a dry bandage from a conventional sterile bandage.

In the process of applying a cream or gel, it is necessary to avoid getting it on the mucous membranes, on the eyes and on the skin around the eyes. During the entire period of therapy and two weeks after its completion, it is necessary to avoid exposure to direct sunlight and not to be near sources of ultraviolet radiation.

If irritation appears on the skin or side effects develop, then you should stop using the Ketonal gel or cream. After stopping the irritation, if necessary, you can resume the use of the gel or cream.

When deciding on the amount of Ketonal gel or cream used, as well as the frequency of their use, one should remember what the content of active substances is:

  • 5 cm of gel or 2.5 cm of cream contain 100 mg of active substance;
  • 10 cm of gel or 5 cm of cream contain 200 mg of ketoprofen.
Since the maximum allowable daily dosage of Ketonal is 200 mg, more than 10 cm of gel or 5 cm of cream cannot be used in one day. The duration of continuous use of the gel or cream should not exceed two weeks.

Ketonal cream or gel can be used simultaneously in combination with other dosage forms (tablets, capsules, suppositories and injections), however, it must be remembered that the total dosage of all drug options should not exceed 200 mg per day.

Ketonal during pregnancy and breastfeeding

During the third trimester of pregnancy (from 28 to 49 weeks of gestation inclusive), Ketonal is contraindicated for use in any form and variety, since it can provoke overmaturity and complications in childbirth.

In the first and second trimesters of pregnancy (up to and including the 27th week), any varieties and forms of Ketonal can be used only if the intended benefit to the woman outweighs all possible risks to the fetus.

If it is necessary to use Ketonal during breastfeeding, the child should be transferred to artificial mixtures.

special instructions

Tablets and capsules can be taken with milk or antacids (for example, Almagel, Maalox, Phosphalugel, etc.), since these substances do not affect the absorption of the active component of Ketonal and at the same time help to reduce the likelihood of complications and side effects from the digestive tract.

With prolonged use of Ketonal (more than 1 week), it is necessary to regularly take a complete blood count, as well as monitor the performance of the kidneys and liver. Particular attention should be paid to the indicators of blood, liver and kidneys while taking Ketonal in elderly people over 65 years of age.

Ketonal must be used carefully if a person has hypertension and heart pathologies that are combined and associated with edema. In these cases, during the entire course of the use of Ketonal, it is necessary to constantly monitor the level of blood pressure.

Influence on the ability to control mechanisms

Ketonal does not have a significant effect on the ability to control mechanisms, however, since the drug can provoke side effects from the central nervous system, it should not be used by people whose activities require a high reaction rate and concentration of attention (for example, driving a car, working with machines, conveyors etc.).

Overdose

When using the gel and cream Ketonal, there were no cases of overdose. All other forms and varieties of Ketonal can cause an overdose, which is manifested by the following symptoms:

Ketonal goes well with narcotic analgesics. A solution of Ketonal can be mixed in the same syringe with morphine, but not with tramadol, because in this case, a precipitate forms due to chemical interaction.

Ketonal - reviews

In most cases, in order to relieve pain, people used Ketonal gel, tablets or injections. Reviews of all forms of the drug in most cases (from 80% to 90%) are positive, due to the high effectiveness of the drug, reliable relief of pain of various localization and causes, long-term effect, and ease of use.

People who left positive reviews about the drug, in addition to the advantages, also indicated disadvantages, to which they attributed the high cost and the relatively slow development of the analgesic effect. However, such disadvantages of the drug are not able to overshadow its high efficiency.

Negative reviews about Ketonal are mainly associated with the appearance of side effects or with the long-term development of an analgesic effect, when you had to wait and apply the drug for 2 to 3 days until the pain was completely relieved.

Ketonal - how to buy?

Ketonal cream and gel are sold without a doctor's prescription, and all other varieties are available only by prescription, so you can only buy the drug at a regular pharmacy. When buying, you need to pay attention to the expiration date, which is 2 years for tablets, capsules, solution and suppositories, and 3 years for gel and cream.
