Scientific Evidence:

Ketoprofen, the active ingredient in Artrocol injections, 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 that cause pain and inflammation.

Studies have shown that ketoprofen is effective in managing pain and inflammation associated with various musculoskeletal conditions. Research published in the Journal of Clinical Rheumatology demonstrated the efficacy of ketoprofen injections in reducing pain and improving joint function in patients with osteoarthritis.
