Ketesse 25mg 20 tablets

Ketesse 25mg is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of pain of mild to moderate intensity, such as musculoskeletal pain, dysmenorrhea, toothache.

Active substance : dexketoprofen 25mg.

Dosage and method of administration:

Adults: According to the nature and intensity of the pain, the recommended dose is, in general, 25 mg every 8 hours. The total daily dose should not exceed 75 mg per day. Undesirable effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest period of time necessary to control symptoms. Ketesse tablets are not intended for long-term treatment and treatment should be limited to the symptomatic period. The tablet should be swallowed with a sufficient amount of fluid (eg a glass of water). Concomitant administration with food delays the rate of drug absorption, therefore, in case of acute pain, it is recommended that administration be at least 30 minutes before meals.
