For many centuries, humanity has been trying to reduce the discomfort in life. And of course, pain can be called an extreme degree of discomfort. We have different pain sensitivity, but even the most persistent of us do not want to endure discomfort. Therefore, pain relievers will always remain popular. For example, Dexalgin.
Instructions for use prescribe its use for symptomatic treatment. That is, this medicine cannot eliminate the cause of the disease - and this is very important. Therefore, in parallel, treatment of the underlying disease must be carried out. The medicine "Dexalgin" is prescribed for toothache, in cases where a woman is prone to pain during menstruation, and for serious diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, when the patient constantly has to experience a lot of pain. In all these cases, Dexalgin will help.
Instructions for use classifies this drug as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. Typically, such drugs do not have a large number of contraindications and side effects, but the drug under discussion is an exception, doctors usually prescribe it very carefully.
How does Dexalgin work? The instructions for use explain that it changes the metabolism in the area of inflammation, reduces local temperature and pain, as a result of which the patient’s suffering becomes much less. Within half an hour, it becomes easier for most patients, which makes this tool very attractive in the eyes of a sick person. The drug lasts up to six hours. It depends on the individual functioning of the kidneys and liver. In some, the remedy is withdrawn so quickly that after three hours the pain returns again. But you need to know that you can not take more than 50 mg per day, these are 2 tablets. Doctors do not recommend taking a new pill within 8 hours after the previous one was taken. Still, the load on the kidneys, and indeed on the liver, is quite high. The positive feature is that the product does not accumulate in the tissues, that is, if the kidneys work well, Dexalgin leaves our body without any problems. This medicine is not used for a long time, usually these are single cases, with the exception of rheumatoid arthritis. If the disease appeared in the elderly, they are usually given 1-2 tablets per day, if tolerance is good, then the dose can be increased to the maximum (3 tablets). In the treatment of patients with renal failure, 1 tablet is prescribed if it is necessary to drink them constantly.
We mentioned that there are many contraindications for Dexalgin. Instructions for use provide a fairly large list. So, you can not drink this remedy for those who have at least once been noted poor tolerance of this class of substances (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory). Do not prescribe a remedy for those who suffer from gastrointestinal ulcer, severe liver and kidney diseases, bronchial asthma, hemorrhagic diathesis, and some heart diseases. Do not prescribe this drug at the same time as anticoagulants. Do not give this medicine to children! Dexalgin - a drug for adults! And even if the dose is small, irreversible changes are possible. Do not risk the health of the child!
Side effects on the gastrointestinal tract are very extensive, there are vomiting and diarrhea, but it is also a dangerous means of the possibility of ulcers and their perforation. Patients can refuse food, internal bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, gastritis and changes in taste are likely. So you should not drink this medicine without need.
It also has a bad effect on the nervous system (even loss of consciousness is possible), on the genitourinary sphere (cycle disorders, edema, nephritis). This remedy is bad for both the heart and the respiratory system. So you need to drink the medicine "Dexalgin" only if the doctor prescribed it for pain.
