How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ketoprofen 5%/Lidocaine 0.5% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation that combines the therapeutic benefits of two potent medications, ketoprofen and lidocaine. This topical gel is designed to provide targeted relief from a variety of painful conditions by delivering the active ingredients directly to the affected area.

Ketoprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that trigger inflammation and pain. On the other hand, lidocaine, a local anesthetic, functions by blocking nerve signals in the area where the gel is applied. The synergistic action of these two medications helps to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation effectively.

This topical gel is particularly beneficial for managing pain associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, and neuropathic pain. Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder, both result in joint pain and stiffness. Tendinitis and bursitis are conditions characterized by inflammation of the tendons and bursae, respectively. Neuropathic pain, a type of chronic pain, is caused by nerve damage.

The Ketoprofen 5%/Lidocaine 0.5% Topical Gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application. The gel is absorbed through the skin, delivering the active ingredients directly to the source of pain and inflammation. It is crucial to adhere to the usage instructions provided on the package and avoid applying more than the recommended amount. For any queries or concerns regarding the use of this medication, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
