About Ketotopic Gel

Ketotopic Gel belongs to a class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) used to treat symptomatic relief of pain in conditions like soft tissue injuries, including sprains, strains, sports injuries, swelling, backache, muscle-tendonitis and rheumatic pain. Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by an injury or illness. Pain may be acute (short term) or chronic (long term).

Ketotopic Gel contains ketoprofen, which works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body involved in producing certain chemical substances, such as prostaglandins, that cause pain and swelling. Thereby, it helps relieve pain and swelling.

Use Ketotopic Gel as recommended. Sometimes, you may experience application site reactions, itching, rash, blisters and dry skin. Most of these side effects of Ketotopic Gel do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects worsen or persist, please consult your doctor.

Before using Ketotopic Gel, inform your doctor if you have any other medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. And also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Avoid contact of Ketotopic Gel with mucous membranes such as eyes, nose, or mouth. If contact occurs, rinse with water immediately.

  • Daily exercise helps to stretch muscles, making them less prone to spasms, tears, and sprains. Mild workouts like jogging and walking can aid with muscle stretching.
  • Acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy may be beneficial as well.
  • Get enough sleep, as relaxing the muscles might assist in reducing inflammation and swelling.
  • Muscle spasms can be treated with either hot or cold therapy. For 15-20 minutes, apply an ice pack or a heat pack to the muscle.
  • Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
  • Consume antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, spinach, kidney beans, dark chocolate, etc.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: Pain is an unpleasant sensation caused by an injury or illness. Pain may be acute (short term) or chronic (long term). It can be general (overall body pains) or localized (pain in a specific body area). Pain is highly subjective as some people have a high tolerance for pain while others have a low tolerance. Although pain is inconvenient and unpleasant, it hints about causes when something is wrong in the body. Pain may be caused due to cramps, headache, bone fractures, stomach pain, arthritis (swelling of one or more joints), muscle strain or overuse, cuts, flu, irritable bowel syndrome (an intestinal disorder causing stomach pain, diarrhoea or constipation) and fibromyalgia (muscle pain with stiffness and tenderness).
