Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Ketoprofen 25 mg Capsules is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is widely used to alleviate a range of inflammatory and painful conditions. It is also used to lower fever and to treat menstrual cramps.

The capsules are solid dosage forms composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells that enclose the medication. This design allows for convenient and easy swallowing, and ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. Ketoprofen 25 mg Capsules are available in both immediate-release and extended-release formulations. The extended-release formulation is designed to provide a longer duration of action and is typically taken once daily.

While Ketoprofen 25 mg Capsules are generally well tolerated, they can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea. There is also an increased risk of bleeding and ulcers in the stomach and intestines. It is crucial to take the medication as directed and to avoid exceeding the recommended dose.

However, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of this medication with your healthcare provider before starting treatment. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Ketoprofen 25 mg Capsules, a solid dosage form composed of two gelatin or vegetarian shells enclosing the medication, may interact with other medications. This includes anticoagulants, diuretics, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is crucial for patients to inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking, including over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Patients should be aware of the potential for increased risk of bleeding when taking anticoagulants and NSAIDs concurrently. There is also a potential for increased risk of renal impairment when taking diuretics and NSAIDs together. Concurrent use of NSAIDs may also increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular events, hypersensitivity reactions, liver injury, anaphylaxis, skin reactions, and hearing loss.

It is essential to understand these risks and discuss them with your healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about these potential interactions and risks, please do not hesitate to reach out to your healthcare provider or pharmacist for further information and guidance.

How Does it Work

Ketoprofen 25 mg Capsules are a potent medication used to alleviate a range of conditions such as pain, inflammation, and fever. The mechanism of action involves the inhibition of certain chemical production in the body that are responsible for inflammation and pain. This medication is available in two forms - oral and topical. The oral form, which is typically a capsule or tablet, is ingested, while the topical form is applied directly onto the skin.

The dosage of Ketoprofen is usually once or twice daily, contingent on the specific condition being treated. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage by your healthcare provider. Taking more or less than the recommended dose can lead to undesirable effects. If you have any queries regarding the administration of Ketoprofen, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

These capsules are composed of two shells, either gelatin or vegetarian, which encase the medication. This design not only facilitates easy swallowing but also ensures a precise dosage of the active ingredients. It is important to note that the effectiveness of Ketoprofen can be influenced by factors such as the severity of the condition, individual response to treatment, and other medical conditions. Therefore, it is essential to follow your healthcare provider's instructions closely for optimal results.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
