Single dose oral ketoprofen and dexketoprofen for acute postoperative pain in adults
Cochrane Reviews, 10/08/09

Barden J et al. – A single dose of ketoprofen 25 mg to 100 mg provides a high level of pain relief to 60% to 70% of those with moderate or severe postoperative pain. It has similar efficacy to other commonly used analgesics at standard doses, including ibuprofen and naproxen, with a duration of action around 5 hours. Single dose dexketoprofen at 10 mg to 25 mg provides a high level of pain relief to 45% to 50% of patients for about 4 hours. Adverse events were generally mild to moderate in severity, and no more common with either drug than with placebo in these singe dose studies.
