Scientific Evidence

Ketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by inhibiting the enzymes responsible for inflammation. Studies have shown that topical ketoprofen formulations, like Fastum gel, can provide effective pain relief with minimal systemic side effects.

Additional Information

Fastum gel is well-tolerated when used as directed. However, it may cause skin irritation or rash in some individuals. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, or open wounds. Consult a healthcare professional if you experience any adverse reactions.

Research has demonstrated the efficacy of ketoprofen gel in managing musculoskeletal pain, making it a valuable option for individuals seeking localized relief without the potential risks associated with oral NSAIDs.
