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.
