Ketoprofen (Vet)

Ketoprofen (Vet) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing pain, inflammation, and fever in animals.Ketoprofen (Vet) achieves these effects by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that play a key role in these processes. Ketoprofen (Vet) works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are involved in pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing prostaglandin levels, Ketoprofen (Vet) provides pain relief, reduces inflammation, and lowers body temperature.

Ketoprofen (Vet) use as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory .Ketoprofen (Vet) treat mild to severe inflammation and pain.

Ketoprofen reduces pain and inflammation by preventing prostaglandin synthesis, just like other NSAIDs do. COX, or cyclo-oxygenase, is the enzyme that NSAIDs suppress. Both COX-1 and COX-2 are isoforms of the COX enzyme. In order to maintain a healthy gastrointestinal tract, renal function, platelet function, and other regular physiological processes, prostaglandin synthesis is predominantly carried out by COX-1. Prostaglandins, which are crucial mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever, are synthesized by COX-2, an induced protein. However, it is recognized that in some circumstances, the effects of COX-1 and COX-2 might overlap, and that COX-2 activity is crucial for a number of biological consequences. As an inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2, ketoprofen is nonselective. Its capacity to inhibit lipoxygenase is marginally supported.

Take Ketoprofen (Vet) in the dose and duration as advised by Registered Veterinary Physician.

If you detect any unusual symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, increased thirst, or jaundice, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Ketoprofen should not be administered to animals younger than six weeks of age, as it may provide further risks to older animals.

Ketoprofen should be used with caution in animals that are hypersensitive to the medication. Food should not be consumed while taking ketoprofen orally due to reduced absorption.

The administration of this medication in hypotensive, hypovolaemic, or dehydrated animals should be avoided due to the possibility of enhanced renal toxicity. Ketoprofen should not be used in animals with contraindications or in combination with interacting medications. Ketoprofen can increase the risk of bleeding, especially in animals taking other medications that affect blood clotting.
