Keto-D Tablet 25 mg contains Dexketoprofen, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the relief of pain and inflammation. Dexketoprofen is the active enantiomer of ketoprofen, which provides rapid and effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects at lower doses, reducing the risk of side effects compared to racemic ketoprofen. Keto-D Tablet 25 mg is commonly prescribed for the management of acute pain, musculoskeletal disorders, dental pain, and other painful inflammatory conditions.

Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Dexketoprofen 25 mg

Mechanism of Action

Dexketoprofen works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins—chemical mediators involved in pain, inflammation, and fever.

By reducing prostaglandin production, Dexketoprofen:

• Relieves mild to moderate pain quickly

• Reduces inflammation and tissue swelling

• Alleviates stiffness and discomfort in joints and muscles

• Lowers fever when present

Being the active enantiomer, Dexketoprofen provides faster onset of analgesia with improved tolerability compared to conventional NSAIDs.

• Acute musculoskeletal pain, including sprains, strains, and back pain
