Pharmacological action

Flamax Forte is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, a derivative of propionic acid.

It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects, suppresses platelet aggregation.

Ketoprofen acts on the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase components of arachidonic acid metabolism and inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and thromboxanes.

The analgesic effect is caused by both central and peripheral mechanisms.

It has anti-radikinin activity, stabilizes lysosomal membranes.

Interaction

Reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric drugs, increases the effect of anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, fibrinolytics, ethanol, side effects of glucocorticosteroids and mineralocorticosteroids, estrogens; reduces the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs and diuretics.

Concomitant use with other NSAIDs, glucocorticosteroids, ethanol, and corticotropin may lead to ulceration and gastrointestinal bleeding, and increase the risk of developing renal dysfunction.

Concomitant administration with oral anticoagulants, heparin, thrombolytics, antiplatelet agents, cefaperazone, cefamandol and cefotetan increases the risk of bleeding.

Increases the hypoglycemic effect of insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs (dose recalculation is necessary). Inducers of microsomal oxidation in the liver (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants) increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites.

Co-administration with sodium valproate causes a violation of platelet aggregation.

Increases plasma concentrations of verapamil and nifedipine, lithium preparations, and methotrexate. Antacids and colestyramine reduce absorption.

Myelotoxic drugs increase the manifestations of hematotoxicity of the drug.
