Dolgit, cream 5% 100 g

The drug has a local anesthetic, anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effect. It suppresses the production of inflammatory mediators. It indiscriminately blocks cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) and has inhibitory effect on the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane B2 (TV2). Analgesic effect is most pronounced in pain of inflammatory nature.

Causes reduction or disappearance of pain syndrome, including pain at rest and on movement; reduces morning stiffness and joint swelling. Helps increase range of motion. In addition to its anti-inflammatory effect, ibuprofen reduces platelet aggregation in the inflamed area, as well as migration of leukocytes and release of lysosomal enzymes in the inflamed area.

Ibuprofen penetrates into deeper tissues (subcutaneous tissue, muscles, joints, synovial fluid) and reaches therapeutic concentrations in the skin when the cream is applied. The therapeutic effect in the area of application is achieved by direct distribution through the skin to the target tissues. In a small amount is determined in blood plasma. With the recommended method of application, the concentration in synovial fluid is about 2 µg/ml.
