Oruvail 200mg Capsules (Ketoprofen) x28

Oruvail 200mg Capsules contain ketoprofen, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). This extended-release formulation offers prolonged pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects, making it suitable for managing various chronic and acute pain conditions with once-daily dosing.

Uses

Oruvail is primarily used to treat chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It’s also effective for acute pain management, including menstrual cramps, headaches, and post-operative pain. The extended-release properties make it particularly beneficial for long-term pain control.

Benefits

• Provides up to 24 hours of continuous pain relief
• Effectively reduces inflammation in joints and tissues
• Improves mobility and quality of life for arthritis patients
• Once-daily dosing enhances medication adherence
• Manages both acute and chronic pain conditions
• May decrease reliance on additional pain medications
• Sustained therapeutic effect throughout the day

How It Works

Ketoprofen in Oruvail inhibits the production of prostaglandins, substances responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation. By reducing prostaglandin synthesis, Oruvail alleviates pain and inflammation effectively. The extended-release formulation ensures a steady release of the medication, maintaining consistent therapeutic levels over 24 hours.

Dosage

The standard adult dosage of Oruvail 200mg Capsules is one 200mg capsule taken once daily with food. In some cases, the dose may be increased to 300mg once daily under medical supervision. Capsules should be swallowed whole to preserve the extended-release mechanism. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea, stomach pain, or indigestion. More serious but rare side effects can include gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular events, or allergic reactions. Patients should monitor for these complications and report any unusual symptoms to their healthcare provider immediately.

Warning

Oruvail, like other NSAIDs, carries risks of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal complications, especially with prolonged use or in high-risk individuals. It should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary duration. Patients with a history of ulcers, bleeding disorders, or heart problems should use Oruvail cautiously and under close medical supervision.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Oruvail 200mg Capsules is not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, due to potential complications. It should be avoided during breastfeeding unless the benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks to the infant. Consult a healthcare provider for appropriate alternatives if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Interaction

• May increase bleeding risk when used with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs
• Can reduce the effectiveness of certain antihypertensive medications
• Potential for increased kidney problems when combined with diuretics
• May elevate lithium levels when used concurrently
• Can enhance the effects of oral hypoglycemics in diabetic patients
• Possible increased risk of gastrointestinal side effects when combined with corticosteroids

Important Information

Patients should disclose all existing medical conditions, especially gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, or renal issues, to their healthcare provider before starting Oruvail. Regular monitoring may be necessary during long-term use. Take the medication with food or milk to minimize stomach upset. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of allergic reactions, gastrointestinal bleeding, or cardiovascular problems. Store Oruvail safely out of reach of children and pets.
