The active component of ketoprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with an analgesic and antipyretic effect.

The impact of ketoprofen has no negative effect on the state of cartilage in the joints.

[24], [25], [26], [27], [28]

Pharmacokinetics

The indicators of bioavailability of ketoprofen are more than 90%, with plasma proteins bind by 99%. The maximum concentration in plasma after rubbing reaches a maximum of 15-30 minutes. The substance is able to penetrate into the synovial fluid, and is also metabolized by microsomal hepatic enzymes. Linking to glucuronic acid, ketoprofen under the guise of glucuronide (approximately 90% of the substance) is excreted from the body - about 80% is released through the kidneys, and 10% - through the intestine. Since ketoprofen has a fast metabolism, the half-life is less than 2 hours.
