Keto-A Injection 100 mg/2 ml contains Ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the short-term management of moderate to severe pain and inflammation. The injectable formulation is particularly useful when rapid pain relief is required or when oral administration is not feasible, such as in postoperative settings or acute musculoskeletal conditions.

Ketoprofen provides potent analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effects. It is widely used in hospital and clinical settings to manage pain associated with surgery, trauma, arthritis flare-ups, and other inflammatory disorders.

Composition

Each 2 ml ampoule contains:

• Ketoprofen 100 mg

The injection is formulated for intramuscular (IM) or intravenous (IV) administration as directed by a healthcare professional.

Mechanism of Action

Ketoprofen works by inhibiting the enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). These enzymes are responsible for the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical mediators that cause pain, inflammation, and fever.

By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, Keto-A Injection:

• Relieves moderate to severe pain

• Reduces inflammation and swelling

• Improves joint mobility in inflammatory conditions

• Lowers fever when present

The injectable form allows for rapid absorption and faster onset of action compared to oral formulations.
