The active ingredient of this medicine is lysine ketoprofen, which belongs to a group of

temperature. Lysine ketoprofen is a salt of ketoprofen that is rapidly and completely absorbed
by the body. It is used to relieve mild to
moderate pain, such as muscle and joint pain, headache, pain associated with sore throat, toothache
and menstrual pain, and fever in adults aged 18 years and over.

Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 days in case of fever and 5
