Handok has introduced a new cool-type product under its Ketotop brand of topical pain relief patches: Ketotop Active Plaster (hereafter referred to as Ketotop Active Cool). The product contains flurbiprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). When applied to areas of pain such as muscle aches, arthritis, periarthritis of the shoulder, or tennis elbow, it provides anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects along with a cooling sensation for effective pain relief.

Ketotop Active Cool contains 40 mg of flurbiprofen as its active ingredient and features Ketotop’s unique multi-layer structure to enhance drug penetration. It also uses four-way stretch fabric to ensure comfort during physical activity or exercise. Additionally, the product avoids excipients that may irritate the skin, reducing skin burden.

Minjung Kang, Head of Handok’s OTC Business Division, stated:
“Ketotop Active Cool is the result of Handok’s accumulated expertise in the topical analgesic market, combined with our in-house manufacturing capabilities and continuous quality improvement efforts. We will continue to introduce products that meet consumer needs.”

Handok manufactures Ketotop products at its dedicated plaster production facility in Eumseong, Chungcheongbuk-do. The company strictly manages quality throughout the entire process—from raw material selection to finished product release—and continues to invest in R&D to develop new products and improve quality.
