Topical gel for pain ## looking for specific info on Ketoprofen 20% I have a compounded ointment for it and wonder if it is ok for other body locations other than joints. ## This contains a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxant. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, itching, and flaking. It would be best to only use it as directed, unless your doctor say it is safe for you to do otherwise. Are there any other questions?

Hi I have it in a cream form. I have crohns and my left side stomach colon area is always swollen and sore. I'm also allergic to Ibuprofen and aspirin. I've rub a small amount on once and nothing happen but I want to try using more. ## Hello, Rick! How are you? What type of reaction do you have to Aspirin and Ibuprofen? They are both NSAIDs and so is the Ketoprofen, so you may also have a reaction to it. Did your doctor prescribe this cream?

Hi, I've been taking 75mg Ketoprofen with One 50 mg Tramadol for quite some time for back and knee pain, once or twice a day with pretty good results. I just tried getting my Ketoprofen refilled at Sam's Club, and was told the're not making it any more, and the pharmacist called Walmart and they had none either. Does anyone know if ALL makers of ketoprofen have stopped, or just the brand name Companies? No other nsaid works nearly as well, so my fingers are crossed! ## Hi Rick, Sorry to hear about your situation. From what I could gather, Ketoprofen's other trade names (Nexcede, Orudis, Oruvail, Actron) are all reported to be discontinued brands. However, I haven't come across any official announcements confirming that Ketoprofen itself has been taken off the market....

I have a pharmacist compounding it in the lab at Moonee Ponds Central, Vic 3844. The cost I paid for 25G is $31.95 Ketoprofen 20-1 Lignocaine 2-1 I take numerous meds for a Spinal Fusion I had in 2013... Chronic pain managed with physio & hydrotherapy... My medications need reduction. My therapist (Renee) is aware of this, hence the introduction of an alternative to meds... The cream. I'm supposed to come off my meds slowly...although this lady is on holiday leave as of tomorrow. What is the name of this combination product and where do I pick it up when it's ready? My payment is complete and I need to know if it's legal for me to pick it up on my own?

Ketoprofen is classified by the FDA as being a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling.

My pharmacy says that their suppliers can't get ketoprofen. The Pharmacist can't get any answers as to why ketoprofen isn't available either. I am allergic to opiates, and other NSAIDs I've tried don't work anywhere as effectively as ketoprofen. So, this is a real problem for me. I would re...

Can anyone tell me the prescription trade name for a cream containing baclofen 20 mg, ketoprofen 150(?), and lidocaine 50 mg? ## From my own investigation, pain creams that contain these types of ingredients are formulated in compound pharmacies and therefore do not have a trade name like many other topical prescriptions. These are just generic topical formulas that can vary in ingredients with anything from what's listed below, to other combinations that I have not included here: -Baclofen, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine -Baclofen Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine -Baclofen, Cyclobenzaprine, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine -Baclofen Gabapentin, Ketoprofen, Lidocaine, Dicyclomine -Ketoprofen, Gabapentin, Lidocaine, Amitriptyline Hope this helps! ## My compounding pharmacy calls it Baclo-Keto-Lido 2/10...
