Scientific Evidence:

Additional Information:
- Monitor for signs of gastrointestinal bleeding, renal impairment, and cardiovascular events.
- Avoid concomitant use with other NSAIDs or anticoagulants without medical advice.
Dexketoprofen works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, reducing the production of prostaglandins involved in the inflammatory response and pain perception. This mechanism makes it valuable for pain and inflammation treatment.
Comparative studies suggest similar efficacy to other NSAIDs with potentially lower gastrointestinal side effects. Its safety profile and rapid action make it preferred for acute pain management.
