Table of contents
Dosage
Adults: 25-50mg every 6-8 hours as needed. Some may require 75mg.
Administration
Take orally. If stomach upset occurs, take with food, milk, or antacid.
Interactions
Avoid with aliskiren, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, methotrexate, and others. Consult your doctor about other medications.
Important Considerations
- Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Taking more Oki than prescribed will not improve your condition faster and may increase the risk of side effects.
- Inform your doctor of all medical conditions. Especially if you have a history of heart disease, kidney problems, ulcers, or bleeding disorders.
- Be aware of potential side effects. Common side effects include stomach upset, nausea, heartburn, and diarrhea. More serious side effects can include bleeding in the stomach or intestines, kidney problems, and an increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, or black, tarry stools.
- Do not take Oki if you are allergic to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs. Signs of an allergic reaction include rash, hives, itching, swelling, wheezing, or difficulty breathing.
- Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Oki may cause drowsiness or dizziness.
- Avoid alcohol while taking Oki. Alcohol can increase the risk of stomach upset and bleeding.
- Consult your doctor before taking Oki if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Oki may not be safe for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Storage: Store Oki at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not flush medications down the toilet or pour them into a drain unless instructed to do so. Properly discard expired or unneeded medication.
If You Miss a Dose
If you miss a dose of Oki, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses to catch up.
