Dexalgin, 25 mg/ml 2 ml 10 pcs
€16.08 €13.40
Pharmaceutical group: NSAIDs.
Pharmacological action: Dexalgin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis at the level of COX-1 and COX-2.
The analgesic effect occurs 30 minutes after parenteral administration. Duration of analgesic effect after administration of 50 mg is 4-8 hours.
In combined therapy with opioid analgesics dexectoprofen trometamol significantly (up to 30-45%) reduces the need for opioids.
Indications
— relief of pain syndrome of various origins (including postoperative pain, pain with bone metastases, post-traumatic pain, pain with renal colic, algodismenorrhea, sciatica, sciatica, neuralgia, toothache);
– symptomatic treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory, inflammatory-degenerative and metabolic diseases of the musculoskeletal system (including rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis).

Special instructions
In patients with disorders of the digestive system or a history of gastrointestinal diseases, constant monitoring is required. If gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration occurs, therapy with Dexalgin® should be discontinued.
Because All NSAIDs can inhibit platelet aggregation and increase bleeding time due to slowing prostaglandin synthesis; controlled clinical studies have studied the simultaneous administration of dexketoprofen trometamol and low molecular weight heparin preparations in prophylactic doses in the postoperative period. No effect on coagulation parameters was observed. However, when prescribing Dexalgin® with other drugs that affect blood clotting, careful medical monitoring is required.
Like other NSAIDs, Dexalgin® can lead to increased levels of creatinine and nitrogen in the blood plasma. Like other prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors, Dexalgin® may have side effects on the urinary system, which can lead to the development of glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis, papillary necrosis, nephrotic syndrome and acute renal failure.
During therapy with Dexalgin®, as with other NSAIDs, a slight transient increase in some liver parameters, as well as a significant increase in the level of AST and ALT in the blood serum, may be observed. At the same time, monitoring of liver and kidney functions is necessary in elderly patients. In case of a significant increase in the corresponding indicators, Dexalgin® should be discontinued.
Like other NSAIDs, dexketoprofen trometamol may mask the symptoms of infectious diseases. In case of symptoms of a bacterial infection or deterioration of health during therapy with Dexalgin®, the patient should inform the doctor.
Each ampoule of Dexalgin® contains 200 mg of ethanol.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery
Due to possible dizziness and drowsiness during treatment with Dexalgin®, the ability to concentrate and the speed of psychomotor reactions may decrease.

Interaction
Undesirable combinations:
The simultaneous administration of several NSAIDs, including salicylates in high doses (more than 3 g / day) increases the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers due to the synergy of action.
When used simultaneously with oral anticoagulants, heparin in doses exceeding prophylactic doses, and ticlopidine, the risk of bleeding increases due to inhibition of platelet aggregation and damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa.
NSAIDs increase the concentration of lithium in the blood plasma, up to toxic levels, and therefore this indicator must be monitored when prescribing, changing the dose and after discontinuation of NSAIDs.
When used with methotrexate in high doses (15 mg/week or more), the hematological toxicity of methotrexate increases due to a decrease in its renal clearance during NSAID therapy.
When used simultaneously with hydantoins and sulfonamide drugs, there is a risk of increased toxic effects of these drugs.
Combinations requiring caution:
If simultaneous use with diuretics and ACE inhibitors is necessary, it should be taken into account that NSAID therapy is associated with the risk of developing acute renal failure in patients with dehydration (decreased glomerular filtration due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis). NSAIDs may reduce the hypotensive effect of some drugs. When coadministered with diuretics, ensure that the patient’s fluid balance is adequate and monitor renal function before prescribing NSAIDs.
When used simultaneously with methotrexate in low doses (less than 15 mg/week), the hematological toxicity of methotrexate may increase due to a decrease in its renal clearance during NSAID therapy. Blood cell counts should be monitored weekly during the first weeks of concomitant therapy. In the presence of even mild renal dysfunction, as well as in elderly people, careful medical supervision is necessary.
When used simultaneously with pentoxifylline, the risk of bleeding increases. Intensive clinical monitoring and frequent monitoring of bleeding time (blood clotting time) is necessary.
When used concomitantly with zidovudine, there is a risk of increased toxicity to red blood cells due to effects on reticulocytes, with the development of severe anemia one week after administration of NSAIDs. It is necessary to control all blood cells and reticulocytes after 1-2 weeks. after starting NSAID therapy.
It is possible that the hypoglycemic effect of sulfonylurea derivatives may be enhanced due to its displacement from sites of binding to plasma proteins under the influence of NSAIDs.
When used simultaneously with low molecular weight heparin drugs, the risk of bleeding increases.
Combinations to take into account:
NSAIDs may reduce the hypotensive effect of beta-blockers due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.
When used concomitantly with cyclosporine and tacrolimus, NSAIDs may increase nephrotoxicity, which is mediated by the action of renal prostaglandins. During combination therapy, renal function should be monitored.
When prescribed simultaneously with thrombolytics, the risk of bleeding increases.
When used simultaneously with probenecid, an increase in plasma concentrations of NSAIDs is possible, which may be due to inhibition of renal secretion and/or conjugation with glucuronic acid. This requires adjustment of the NSAID dose.
NSAIDs can cause an increase in the concentration of cardiac glycosides in the blood plasma.
Due to the theoretical risk of changes in the effectiveness of mifepristone under the influence of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors, NSAIDs should not be prescribed earlier than 8-12 days after discontinuation of mifepristone.
Data obtained from experimental studies in animals indicate a high risk of developing convulsions when NSAIDs are prescribed during therapy with high doses of ciprofloxacin.
