These are serious side effects of Ketofen which may be life-threatening. Discuss with your doctor if you are not sure.

Does Ketofen raise blood pressure?

In a few cases, Ketofen may cause an increase in blood pressure. Before taking Ketofen, you should inform your doctor if you have high blood pressure. Also, inform your doctor about the medicines that you might be taking for it. Doctors prescribe this medicine in people with high blood pressure only if the benefits outweigh the risks.

How long can you take Ketofen?

Take Ketofen only as long as advised by your doctor. Do not take it for longer than the recommended period of time.

These symptoms can occur at any time without warning.

What happens if you take Ketofen on an empty stomach?

Taking Ketofen on an empty stomach may cause nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, burning sensation in food pipe and stomach pain.

Can I take Ketofen during pregnancy?

Avoid taking Ketofen during pregnancy as it may put your pregnancy and your unborn baby at risk. There have been reports of miscarriage and defects in the heart of the baby. But, if it is absolutely necessary to take it, then your doctor may prescribe a low dose for the shortest duration. This is applicable for the first 6 months of pregnancy. Ketofen should not be given during the last 3 months of pregnancy as it may cause various defects in the baby and may also prolong labor.
