Is it possible to overdose Ketonal forte?
I have periostitis and accompanying terrible pain. I take Ketonal Forte every 4 hours 1 tablet. I know that this is too frequent intake, but that's how much Ketonal works on me, i.e. up to four hours. Please answer if I can take this medicine like this? Is there a possibility of overdose.?

Yes, there is a possibility of overdose. "Cases of ketoprofen overdose have been reported at doses up to 2.5 g. In most of them, symptoms were mild and limited to lethargy, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain. There is no particular antidote in case of ketoprofen overdose. In case of suspicion of a significant overdose, it is recommended to use gastric lavage, administer activated charcoal and implement symptomatic and maintenance therapy to hydrate the patient, control urine output and compensate for possible acidosis. In the event of renal failure, the medicinal product may be removed from circulation by haemodialysis." The maximum daily dose of Ketonal forte is 200mg, Before starting treatment with a dose of 200 mg per day, the risk-benefit ratio should be carefully considered, the use of a higher dose is not recommended. If the maximum dose is not sufficient to treat pain, you should consult your doctor about introducing an additional analgesic or replacing the existing one with another.
