Oki 25 mg. 10 sachets

What is Okitask and what is it used for?
The active ingredient of this medicine is ketoprofen lysine salt, which belongs to the group of medicines called "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)". These drugs provide short-term relief by changing the body's response to pain, swelling, and fever. Ketoprofen lysine salt is a salt of ketoprofen that is quickly 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 period pain, and high fever in adults over 18 years of age.

You should talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 days of high fever and after 5 days of pain.
