Ketrans

Ketrans refers to a range of pharmaceutical products primarily used for pain relief and anti-inflammatory purposes. The active ingredient in most Ketrans medications is ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Ketoprofen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that contribute to pain, inflammation, and fever.

Ketrans is available in various formulations, including oral tablets, capsules, and topical gels. Oral formulations are typically prescribed for conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders. They are also used to alleviate moderate to severe pain, including menstrual cramps and post-operative pain. Topical ketrans, often in gel form, is applied directly to the skin over the affected area for localized pain and inflammation, such as sprains, strains, and bruising.

The use of Ketrans, like other NSAIDs, can be associated with side effects. Common side effects may include gastrointestinal issues such as stomach upset, nausea, and diarrhea. More serious side effects, though less common, can involve stomach ulcers, bleeding, and cardiovascular problems. It is important to use Ketrans as directed by a healthcare professional and to be aware of potential interactions with other medications. Patients with pre-existing conditions, such as kidney disease or heart disease, should consult their doctor before taking Ketrans.
