Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Ketoprofen 50 mg

Mechanism of Action

Ketoprofen exerts its effects by inhibiting the enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). These enzymes are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are chemical mediators involved in inflammation, pain, and fever.

By reducing prostaglandin production, Ketoprofen:

• Decreases inflammation and swelling

• Relieves mild to moderate pain

• Reduces fever when present

This dual anti-inflammatory and analgesic action makes Keto-A Tablet effective for a wide range of painful conditions.
