Question: For drugs such Fastum Gel, Artrosilene, Lasonil etc. ... that all drugs topical (for the uninitiated, the cream / gel ) containing ketoprofen , it is true that now need a prescription?
Answer: Yes, from January 19, 2011.
This is because long ago it was observed that the ketoprofen, especially for use topical, may cause serious adverse effects of photosensitization.
For this reason, all drugs for topical use containing ketoprofen or derivative (eg ketoprofen lysine salt), went from OTC / SOP (ie free sale) obligation to repeatable prescription.
The following list all drugs for topical use on the date of today are based ketoprofen and, therefore, require a prescription:
- Lasonil
- FastumGel
- Artrosilene (foam and gel)
- Lasoartro
- Ibifen gel
- Liotondol
- Orudis gel
- Ketoprofen Gel generico (Teva, Ratiopharm, Eg, Sandoz, ecc...)
