4.2 Posology and method of administration

Posology
Paediatric population: Ketospray 10% – Spray should not be used in children below 12 years of age because of safety and efficacy concerns.

Adults and children over 12 years:
A sufficient amount of solution should be applied on the skin in order to cover the affected area with Ketospray 10% - Spray. The number of spray puffs depends on the size of the area to be treated: 2 spray puffs for small joints (fingers, toes), 4 spray puffs for medium-sized joints (wrist, ankle) and up to 6 spray puffs for large joints (shoulder, knee) or larger areas (f.i. on the back). Therefore 0.4 – 1.2 ml spray are applied per application, which equals 40 – 120 mg ketoprofen. Treatment should be carried out 3 times per day. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 18 spray puffs (equals 3.6 ml spray, or 360 mg ketoprofen).
The solution is gently spread over the affected area after 1 – 2 spray puffs each and let dry.

Elderly:
The same dosage as for adults may be applied.

Method of administration
Adults and children over 12 years of age:
Do not apply occlusive dressing to the treated area.
Hands should be washed subsequently, unless they are also included in the treatment. The treatment may be stopped after the symptoms (pain and swellings) have eased. 7 days duration of treatment is sufficient in most cases.
