Topical dexketoprofen as a cause of photocontact dermatitis.

Published: February 2005

We reported on the case of a patient who developed a cutaneous eruption in a photoexposed area 1 week after a continous topical treatment with dexketoprofen (Enangel). Photopatch tests were positive for dexketoprofen, ketoprofen and piketoprofen and patch test was positive for piketoprofen. Control photopatch testing with dexketoprofen in 15 healthy volunteers was negative. Dexketoprofen, ketoprofen and piketoprofen are non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs (arylpropionic acid derivatives) often used as topical anti-inflammatory agents. It appears that the benzophenone moiety of their chemical structure is the cause of their photosensitivity and cross-photoreaction.

Aim: This prospective, randomized, observational study aimed to compare the efficacy of intrauterine lidocaine, oral dexketoprofen, cervical lidocaine spray, and paracervical block with prilocaine for pain management during outpatient endometrial biopsy (EMB).

Methods: One hundred ninety-seven women aged 18-75 undergoing EMB were randomly assigned to one of four groups: intrauterine lidocaine (n = 49), oral dexketoprofen (n = 48), cervical lidocaine spray (n = 50), or paracervical block with prilocaine (n = 50). Pain intensity was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) immediately post-procedure and at 30 min, with additional analgesia needs recorded at 60 min.

Article Synopsis
  • - COVID-19 has emerged as a significant global health issue, with about 10-15% of infected individuals experiencing post-COVID-19 syndrome that can result in ongoing symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, and cognitive issues that may impact their quality of life.
  • - To address these symptoms, treatments like Paracetamol and Dexketoprofen Trometamol are used for pain relief, while Rivaroxaban is prescribed to prevent blood clots for several weeks post-discharge.
  • - A new eco-friendly method, utilizing HPLC-DAD technology, was developed to simultaneously measure these medications, showing effective and reliable results for both bulk and plasma samples according to international standards.
