What Experts Say

Ketoprofen belongs to the propionic acid class of NSAIDs and works by blocking cyclooxygenase enzymes that produce pain and inflammation causing prostaglandins. Applying it as a patch allows the drug to act locally at the site of pain with much lower systemic absorption than an oral tablet.

This localized delivery is the main reason transdermal ketoprofen is often preferred for muscle and joint pain limited to a small area, since it avoids the stomach irritation and higher systemic exposure associated with oral NSAID use. Absorption through the skin still occurs, so total daily NSAID exposure should still be considered.

Ketoprofen patches carry a recognized risk of photosensitivity reactions, so doctors advise covering the treated area and avoiding sun exposure during use and for some time after removal. Patients with known NSAID allergies or a history of asthma triggered by aspirin should avoid this product.
