Kefentech Plaster

Kefentech Plaster is a topical medication containing the active ingredient Ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This plaster is designed to provide localized pain relief by delivering Ketoprofen directly to the affected area through the skin. Ketoprofen works by reducing inflammation and alleviating pain, making it effective for conditions such as muscle pain, joint pain, sprains, and strains.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Kefentech Plaster may include skin irritation at the application site, such as redness, itching, or a rash. Rare but more serious side effects could include severe skin reactions or allergic reactions (manifested as swelling, severe itching, or difficulty breathing). If any serious side effects occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.

Uses:

• Provides relief from localized pain and inflammation due to conditions like muscle pain, joint pain, sprains, and strains.
• Helps reduce pain and swelling associated with arthritis.
• Offers an alternative to oral NSAIDs for individuals who may have gastrointestinal issues or other contraindications to oral medication.

Precautions:

• Consult a healthcare professional before using Kefentech Plaster, especially if you have a history of allergies to NSAIDs, skin conditions, or other medical issues.
• Avoid applying the plaster to broken, damaged, or infected skin.
• Do not use Kefentech Plaster if you are pregnant, particularly in the third trimester, or if you are breastfeeding, without consulting your doctor.
• Limit exposure to sunlight or UV rays on the treated area to prevent photosensitivity reactions.
• Do not use the plaster for more than 7 consecutive days without medical advice.

When Not to Use:

Avoid using Kefentech Plaster if you have:

• A known allergy to Ketoprofen, other NSAIDs, or any of the plaster’s components.
• A history of asthma attacks, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.
• Severe kidney, liver, or heart failure without consulting a healthcare professional.

FAQs:
