It can be used for arthritis, back ache, toothache, menstrual cramps and other pains. Ketoprofen is the generic name of this product but it’s also sold under brand names Orudis and Oruvail.

There is Ketoprofen gel, Ketoprofen cream, and a Ketoprofen patch that is worn on the skin. There are also tablets. Before you take this drug, you should be aware that certain conditions and medications are contraindicated. If you’re sensitive to aspirin or have asthma, this might not be the ideal pain reliever. Do not take this drug if you are currently using the drug Probenecid.

Whether you are taking Ketoprofen crème, Ketoprofen gel formulas or any Ketoprofen topical product, it is important to discuss, any other drugs or medications with your doctor. Some drugs cause known reactions including: alcohol, other anti inflammatory drugs, prednisone, aspirin, blood thinners, ginkgo biloba, diuretics and others.
