It is available in the UK, as dexketoprofen trometamol, as a prescription-only drug and in Latin America as Enantyum, produced by Menarini.

[3] Dexketoprofen consists of a propionic acid moiety connected to a benzophenone molecule by its second carbon.

It may cause dizziness, and patients should not, therefore, drive or operate heavy machinery or vehicles until they are familiar with how dexketoprofen affects them.

In a small subset of individuals the dizziness may be intolerable and require transition to an alternative treatment.

By blocking cyclo-oxygenase, dexketoprofen prevents the production of prostaglandins and therefore reduces inflammation and pain.
