Product Introduction

K Plast Patch contains Ketoprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides effective relief from pain and inflammation. This medicated patch is commonly used to manage conditions such as sprains, strains, muscle spasms, chronic lower back pain, tennis elbow, and other musculoskeletal injuries. It is also prescribed to reduce pain and stiffness associated with inflammatory joint disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

The K Plast Ketoprofen Patch works by delivering the active ingredient directly through the skin to the affected area, helping relieve pain while minimizing systemic exposure. It is intended for external use only and should not be applied if you are allergic to Ketoprofen or any of the patch's ingredients. Avoid using the patch on broken, infected, damaged, or irritated skin, including areas affected by eczema, as well as on open wounds. People with a history of photosensitivity reactions should also avoid using this medication unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Before using K Plast Patch, tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are breastfeeding. You should also inform your healthcare provider about your complete medical history and any existing health conditions to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

Some users may experience mild side effects, including skin redness (erythema), inflammation, itching (pruritus), rash, dry skin, or swelling at the application site. If these symptoms persist, worsen, or you notice signs of a severe allergic reaction, discontinue use and seek medical advice promptly.

Uses

Relieves moderate to severe pain

How it works

K Plast Patch works by blocking the release of prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers that cause fever, pain, and inflammation. When applied to the skin, it gradually enters the bloodstream and inhibits the activity of the enzyme COX, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and providing relief from pain and inflammation.

How to Use

Use K Plast Patch as your physician advises. Read the label carefully before using it. Clean the area of skin where you will apply the patch. Remove the cover from the patch and apply it to the skin, ensuring the entire patch is in contact with the skin. Your physician will decide the correct dosage and duration based on age, body weight, and disease condition. Only stop using this if your doctor advises you to stop.
