Presentation

Each tablet contains Dexketoprofen Trometamol equivalent to Dexketoprofen INN 25 mg.
Description

Dexketoprofen belongs to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking the action of a substance in the body called cyclo-oxygenase. Cyclo-oxygenase is involved in the production of chemicals in the body called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced in response to injury or certain diseases and would otherwise go on to cause swelling, inflammation and pain. By blocking cyclo-oxygenase, dexketoprofen prevents the production of prostaglandins and therefore reduces inflammation and pain.
Indications

Symptomatic treatment of pain of mild or moderate intensity, such as musculo-skeletal pain, menstrual pain, toothache.
Dosage & Administration

The dose of Dexketoprofen is 12.5 mg every 4-6 hours daily or 25 mg every 8 hours daily. The maximum dose is 75 mg daily. For elderly people maximum dose is 50 mg daily. Not recommended for children.
