Scientific Evidence

Dexketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins which are mediators of pain and inflammation.

A study published in the journal Pain Research and Treatment demonstrated the efficacy of dexketoprofen in the management of acute postoperative pain, showing significant pain relief compared to a placebo group.

Additional Information

It is important to follow the recommended dosage and not exceed the maximum daily dose to avoid potential side effects such as gastrointestinal irritation or increased risk of cardiovascular events.

Consult your healthcare provider before using Alfort Dexa tablets, especially if you have a history of gastrointestinal disorders, hypertension, or are taking other medications.
