Treatment of mild to moderate pain including headaches, muscle aches, back pain, dental pain, menstrual cramps, and minor arthritis pain. May also be used for fever reduction.
Acetaminophen works primarily in the central nervous system to alter the body's perception of pain and helps reduce fever. Ketoprofen, an NSAID, blocks the production of natural substances called prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, and fever.
Avoid alcohol as it increases the risk of liver damage from acetaminophen. Do not exceed recommended doses as acetaminophen can cause serious liver injury. NSAIDs like ketoprofen may increase risk of heart attack, stroke, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Not recommended for use during late pregnancy.
