Reducing symptoms of arthritis may improve your ability to move/exercise, work, and perform tasks normally. Ketoprofen is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever.
