KETOFLAM SR 400 MG – 10 TABLETS

KETOFLAM SR 400 MG contains ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and alleviates pain. The extended-release formulation ensures that the medication is released gradually over time, providing consistent pain relief and reducing the need for frequent dosing. It is particularly useful for managing chronic conditions where sustained pain relief is needed.

Usage Instructions:

Dosage: Take one KETOFLAM SR 400 MG tablet orally, typically once or twice daily as directed by your healthcare provider.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush or chew.
Consistency: Take the medication at the same time each day to maintain an even level of relief.
Food Intake: It can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with food may help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
Medicinal Advantages:

Extended Relief: Provides prolonged pain and inflammation relief due to its sustained-release formulation.
Effective Anti-Inflammatory: Reduces inflammation associated with conditions like arthritis and muscle pain.
Pain Management: Helps in managing chronic pain with fewer doses compared to immediate-release formulations.
Mechanism of Action:
KETOFLAM SR works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking these chemicals, ketoprofen helps reduce inflammation and alleviates pain.

Off-Label Uses:

Menstrual Pain: May be used off-label to relieve menstrual cramps, though this should be done under medical supervision.
