Ketoprofen Side Effects
Stomach upset is the most common side effect. If this persists or becomes severe, notify your doctor. Headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, lightheadedness, dizziness, bloating, constipation, diarrhea or nervousness may occur. KETOPROFEN may cause dizziness, drowsiness or blurred vision. Rarely, ringing in the ears or hearing loss may occur. Infrequently, KETOPROFEN may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. If this happens to you, avoid prolonged sun exposure, wear protective clothing and use a sunscreen. Avoid sunlamps. Notify your doctor if you develop: persistent stomach pain, black or bloody stools, skin rash, itching, edema (swelling hands or feet), vision changes, yellowing eyes or skin. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
How To Use Ketoprofen
KETOPROFEN: Take with food or immediately after meals to prevent stomach upset. Take KETOPROFEN with 6 to 8 ounces (180-240ml) of water. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking KETOPROFEN. Sustained release or long acting preparations must be swallowed whole. Do not crush or chew them or the sustained activity may be destroyed and side effects increased.
Ketoprofen Uses
KETOPROFEN relieves pain and reduces inflammation. KETOPROFEN is commonly used to treat the pain, swelling and stiffness associated with arthritis. Due to its controlled-release nature, it is not effective for "fast" pain relief.
