About dexketoprofen

Dexketoprofen is a type of مسكنات الألم المضادة للالتهابات called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

It is used to treat short-term painful conditions such as muscular الالتواءات والإجهادات, period (menstrual) pain, and toothache.

Dexketoprofen works by blocking COX enzymes in the body. These enzymes help produce prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation.

When dexketoprofen blocks COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are made, so pain and inflammation decrease.

Common side effects of dexketoprofen include:

• عسر الهضم.

• حرقة المعدة.

• ألم في المعدة.

• الشعور بالغثيان.

• التقيؤ.

• الإسهال.

A full list of the side effects can be found in the manufacturer's printed information leaflet supplied with the medicine. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any side effects continue or become troublesome.

إذا شعرت بأي أعراض أخرى تعتقد أنها قد تكون بسبب الدواء، تحدث مع طبيبك أو الصيدلي للحصول على مزيد من النصائح.

Some medicines aren’t suitable for everyone. Before taking dexketoprofen, your doctor needs to know:

• If you have ever had a stomach or duodenal ulcer, or if you have an inflammatory bowel disorder such as مرض كرون أو التهاب القولون التقرحي.

• إذا كنت تعاني من الربو أو أي اضطراب تحسسي آخر.

• إذا كنتِ حاملاً، تحاولين الإنجاب، أو تقومين بالرضاعة الطبيعية.

• إذا كان لديك أي مشاكل في طريقة عمل الكبد لديك، أو إذا كان لديك أي مشاكل في طريقة عمل الكلى لديك.

• If you have a heart condition or a problem with your blood vessels or circulation.

• If you have ارتفاع ضغط الدم.

• If you have any blood clotting problems.

• إذا كنت تعاني من ارتفاع نسبة السكر في الدم أو مستويات الكوليسترول.

• If you have a connective tissue disorder such as systemic lupus erythematosus. This is an inflammatory condition which is also called lupus or SLE.

• If you are taking any other medicines which are available to buy without a prescription, as well as herbal and complementary medicines.

• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to any other NSAID (such as الأسبرين, الإيبوبروفين, ديكلوفيناك, and إندوميتاسين), or to any other medicine.

• Read the leaflet that comes with the medicine before you start. It explains how dexketoprofen works and lists possible side effects.

• Depending on your condition, you may take half a tablet every 4-6 hours or one tablet every 8 hours. Stop taking the tablets once the pain has gone.

• Do not take more than three 25 mg tablets per day.

• Take the tablets with water. They work faster on an empty stomach (about 30 minutes before food), but if they make you feel sick, take them after eating.

• If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses at once.

• Your doctor will prescribe the lowest dose for the shortest time to reduce side effects.

• Keep any follow-up appointments with your doctor. This is so your doctor can check on your progress.

• If you have asthma, symptoms such as wheeze or breathlessness can be made worse by dexketoprofen. If this happens to you, you should stop taking the tablets and see your doctor as soon as possible.

• Check with a pharmacist before taking any other medicines. Do not take dexketoprofen with other anti-inflammatory painkillers, including some over-the-counter cold and flu remedies.

• إذا كنت ستخضع لعملية جراحية أو علاج أسنان، أخبر الشخص الذي يقوم بالعلاج بالأدوية التي تتناولها.

• احفظ جميع الأدوية بعيدًا عن متناول ورؤية الأطفال.

• احفظه في مكان بارد وجاف، بعيدًا عن الحرارة المباشرة والضوء.
