What Is K-PLAST?

K-Plast is a topical NSAID patch containing Ketoprofen, a widely trusted anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicine. It is used to relieve local pain, reduce inflammation, decrease swelling, and support healing in musculoskeletal conditions.

Because it works directly at the pain site, K-Plast is preferred for chronic pain conditions, elderly patients, and individuals who cannot tolerate oral NSAIDs.

How K-PLAST Works

K-Plast works by delivering Ketoprofen gradually through the skin into the underlying tissues. Once absorbed, it:

• Blocks prostaglandin production — reducing pain & inflammation
• Lowers local inflammatory response
• Decreases swelling and stiffness
• Improves mobility and comfort

This targeted mechanism allows effective pain relief while avoiding the common gastrointestinal issues caused by oral NSAIDs.

Why Choose K-PLAST?

• Direct, local relief at the source of pain
• Reduced systemic exposure — safer for long-term use
• 24-hour controlled release
• No stomach irritation, acidity, or gastric discomfort
• No drowsiness
• Easy, once-daily application
• Ideal for chronic pain and sports injuries
• Water-resistant and skin-friendly

Who Is K-PLAST For?

K-Plast is suitable for individuals experiencing:

• Chronic joint pain
• Osteoarthritis / rheumatoid arthritis
• Back & shoulder pain
• Neck stiffness and cervical spondylosis
• Sports injuries — sprains, strains, tendonitis
• Muscle spasms or overuse injuries
• Soft-tissue pain and inflammation

How To Apply

• Apply to clean, dry, hairless skin.
• Press the patch firmly for 20–30 seconds.
• Leave on for 24 hours (or as instructed).
• Do not apply heat or massage over the patch.
• Do not apply on wounds, cuts, or irritated skin.
• Rotate application sites to avoid skin sensitivity.

Dosage & Administration

• One patch to be applied and left in place for 24 hours.
• Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for the duration of use.
• After 24 hours, remove the patch and apply a new one to a different skin site to avoid irritation.

Why Choose K-Plast Patch?

• 24-Hour Relief: One patch applied in the morning works all day and night.
• Safer Alternative: Bypasses the stomach and liver, reducing gastric irritation.
• Flexible & Reversible: Simply remove the patch to stop therapy.
• Patient-Friendly: Ideal for those who have trouble swallowing pills.
• Made for Indian Conditions: Hot Melt Technology ensures the patch stays secure even in heat and humidity.

Side Effects (MILD & COMMON)

• Skin redness
• Mild irritation or itching
• Temporary rash
• Sensitivity in sunlight (in rare cases)

These usually subside when the site is rotated or the patch is applied to healthy skin.

Caution & Safety

Avoid or use with caution if:

• You are allergic to NSAIDs
• You have severe kidney/liver disease
• You have asthma triggered by NSAIDs
• You have known skin allergies

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.

Conclusion

K-Plast is a smart, science-backed solution for individuals who want effective, targeted pain relief without relying on oral medication. With its controlled-release technology and localized action, it helps people manage chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain, stay active, and regain comfort in everyday life.

Active Ingredient:Ketoprofen 30 mg per patch

Mechanism of Action:

• Inhibits COX enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis to decrease inflammation and pain.
• Transdermal delivery provides steady plasma drug levels over 24 hours, avoiding peaks and troughs seen with oral therapy.
• Minimizes gastrointestinal irritation and systemic exposure.

Indications:

• Post-operative pain management
• Chronic low back pain
• Sprains, strains, and traumatic injuries
• Muscle spasms and localized inflammatory conditions
• Patients requiring continuous analgesia or unable to take oral therapy

Dosage & Administration:

• Monitor for skin reactions; discontinue if severe irritation occurs.
• Can be combined with other analgesics if additional pain control is needed, considering total NSAID exposure.
• No further NRT required after completion

Site of Application:

Apply on clean, dry, hairless skin of the upper arm, back, or chest; avoid broken, irritated, or scarred area

Pharmacokinetics:

• Absorption: Gradual and controlled through the skin over 24 hours.
• Distribution: Maintains uniform plasma concentrations.
• Metabolism: Minimal first-pass hepatic metabolism.
• Excretion: Primarily renal.

Contraindications:

• Do not use if allergic to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs
• Avoid in patients with active stomach ulcers, bleeding, or serious GI problems
• Avoid in severe liver, kidney, or heart disease
• Use with caution in asthma or NSAID-sensitive patients
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding: only if benefits outweigh risks

Clinical Evidence:

• Comparable efficacy to oral ketoprofen for pain relief in post-operative, musculoskeletal, and dental pain.
• Reduced gastrointestinal and systemic side effects versus oral NSAIDs.
• Hot Melt Technology ensures superior patch adhesion and consistent drug delivery.
• Studies report high patient adherence due to 24-hour sustained release and ease of use.
