title: Ketoprofen gels: unfortunately back on the French market.
abstract: Ketoprofen gels are more harmful than beneficial, and their withdrawal from the French market in late 2009 was a welcome measure. Unfortunately, they were back on the market in early 2010 following legal action. Healthcare professionals and patients should rely on solid evidence rather than decisions made by regulatory agencies or the judiciary.
