Before describing Ortofen, an ointment with a pronounced analgesic effect, I want to note that I tested its properties on myself. Not because I wanted so much, but because of the circumstances. These were problems with the spine and knee joint. Pathology was accompanied by severe pain. Of course, we bought a lot of medicine. Accordingly, about Ortofen (ointment), the reviews I left have a solid foundation.
Not without the fact that you may come across negative reviews about this drug, in particular on the Internet. However, most consumers claim that Ortofen Ointment is well tolerated and often outperforms many others. I agree with this, because I have repeatedly saved myself and saved from pain, thanks to this tool.
Perhaps many readers are better aware of another name for the Ortofen drug - Diclofenac, and the author of the article, for the first time, received an injection of Epifenac. Then for the first time I was able to fall asleep and sleep without pain. But Ortofen, Diclofenac, and Epifenac are all synonyms. It should be noted that even with joint pains or back pain, both I and all members of our family use the Ortofen Ointment purely, as well as tablets of this drug and its analogues.
What is the reason for such magical qualities of this medicine? The fact is that the drug in question has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and it is prescribed as an anesthetic even for spinal osteomyelitis. It was such a pathology, accompanied by incredible pain, that I had. I had to undergo surgery for purulent arthritis of the knee joint, after which Ortofen Ointment was also very useful.
Perfectly this drug (and in particular in the form of an ointment), has proven itself in the fight against osteochondrosis, osteoarthrosis, neuralgia, bursitis. Intends "Ortofen ointment" for topical use. She copes with almost any pathology accompanied by inflammation. In addition to the above diseases, in the treatment of which the drug in question has proven itself well, others should be added: rheumatoid arthritis, spondylitis, tenosynovitis, lumbago. The list of pathologies can be continued, but we confine ourselves to the observation that they are all united by an inflammatory nature. It seems that the miracle ointment is effective for any inflammation and pain in the musculoskeletal system.
In particular, we are talking about traumatic bruises, sprains of tendons, ligaments and muscles, as well as pain that is caused by excessive physical exertion. When a person claims that he "ripped off his back", then this is just the case when the tool in question will help him.
Apply Ortofen Ointment as follows. Squeeze a small amount from the tube (approximately 1.2 cm) and apply a thin layer to the area of the body that is causing concern. Apply ointment with your fingers. Absorption into the skin and subcutaneous tissue occurs within 5 minutes, and the duration of action is up to five hours. The maximum daily dose is considered to be eight grams. An individual course of treatment from one day to two weeks.
What can be said about contraindications to the use of ointment? First of all, it is hypersensitivity to such drugs. Also, it should not be used for exacerbations of gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, allergies, rhinitis, urticaria. It is prescribed with caution to children under the age of six.
Among the side effects were noted redness, burning. Ortofen ointment should not be applied to the mucous membrane and damaged areas of the skin (scratches, abrasions, wounds). The ointment is contraindicated for use during pregnancy and lactation.
