PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
KETOPRO-10 is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has an analgesic and antipyretic effect. Ketoprofen, which is part of the drug, is a derivative of propionic acid from the carboxylic acids group.
Mechanism of Ketoprofen action consists in inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzyme and suppression of the prostaglandin and thromboxane synthesis. Analgesic action of ketoprofen is associated with inhibition of bradykinin directly, which excites painful nerve endings and thereby provokes pain. Ketoprofen acts on the central nervous system, suppressing the perception of pain.
After intramuscular administration to dogs the maximum concentration in blood plasma is reached within 7-10 minutes, after subcutaneous administration – in 30-35 minutes, and in cats, after subcutaneous administration, it is 15-20 minutes. More than 98% of ketoprofen binds to plasma proteins and is concentrated in inflamed tissues. The drug is excreted from the body mainly with urine.
In recommended doses the preparation has no local irritating, sensitizing, mutagenic, carcinogenic, embryotoxic and teratogenic effects.
ADMINISTRATION
KETOPRO-10 is administered to dogs and cats for the treatment of inflammatory processes in acute, para-acute and chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system (arthrosis, arthritis, trauma, dislocations, edema, herniated intervertebral discs).
DOSAGE
Product is administered to dogs subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously; to cats – only subcutaneously, at dose 0.2 ml per 1 kg of body weight once daily for 1-3 consecutive days. After one injection, therapy can be continued with oral ketoprofen at a dose of 1 mg/kg once daily for 3-4 days.
