PROPERTIES/MODE
OF
ACTION
Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) belonging to
the propionic acid subclass of carboxylic acid derivative NSAIDs.
Ketoprofen exerts three main pharmacological
effects that
are common to
all
NSAIDs:
anti-inflammatory,
analgesic,
and antipyretic.
The primary
mechanism of action is inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis through
interference with the cyclooxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid
metabolism.
Ketoprofen has been shown to have potent
activity against
acute and chronic inflammation in the classical
models of inflammation.
INDICATIONS
For treatment (up to 5 days) of acute painful,
inflammatory conditions in
dogs and cats due to osteoarthritis or musculo-skeletal
disorders (including
but not limited to hip dysplasia, trauma,
dislocation,
strain, disc disease,
spondylosis,
panosteitis,
and swelling);
symptomatic treatment of fever and
management of post-surgical
pain in dogs.
For treatment of chronic pain due to osteoarthritis or
musculo-skeletal
disorders.
