Pharmacological properties of "Nalgesin forte"

The active substance in the composition of the drug - naproxen, which is able to provide antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic effects. The mechanism of drug action is based on the ability of the active component to non-selectively inhibit the activity of cyclooxygenases of the first and second groups. As a result of this action, there is a violation of the synthesis of prostaglandins, as a result of which the process of inflammation is inhibited, the pain decreases.

It should be noted that the food does not affect the speed and completeness of absorption. The maximum concentration of naproxen in the patient's blood is noted 2 hours after application. Naproxen binds to plasma proteins by at least 99%.
Naproxen metabolism occurs in the liver tissue under the influence of the enzyme CYP2C9, resulting in the formation of dimethyl naproxen.
The clearance of the active substance is 0.13 ml / min / kg. Subliminalization takes up to 15 hours. Excretion is carried out mainly by the kidneys, moreover, about 10% of naproxen is excreted in an unchanged condition, the rest in the form of inactive metabolites.

What else does the instruction manual tell us about “Nalgesin forte”?


Overdose

This confirms the instructions to the tablets "Nalgesin forte".

Interaction with other drugs

Naproxen has the ability to increase the bleeding time, it is important to take into account patients taking anticoagulants.
With the parallel use of naproxen and antacids based on aluminum and magnesium, a decrease in the absorption of the first is observed. When combined with probenecid, the concentration of naproxen in the blood, on the contrary, increases.
The simultaneous use of hydantoins and anticoagulants with “Nalgesin forte” leads to the potentiation of their effects and, as a result, to the onset of symptoms of intoxication.
The active ingredient of the drug is able to slow excretion, increase the likelihood of toxic effects of methotrexate, phenytoin, sulfonamides.
Concurrent use with cyclosporine and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors increases the risk of liver failure.
Before starting the patient should inform the doctor about all the medications that he takes, as well as the presence of an allergy to any substance.
The instructions for use analogs "Nalgesin forte" is not listed.

Comparison with "Pentalgin"

It should be borne in mind that for each individual person the most effective will be the one that is right for him. It will depend not only on the characteristics of the patient, but also on the nature of the disease.

Be that as it may, when choosing a drug, you should listen to the doctor who will select the most suitable option for a particular situation and person.
Of course, it is important to follow the instructions for use.

Reviews

Patients who have experience with the indicated drug therapy report that it is highly effective and allows to relieve even severe pain in cases where other drugs are ineffective. It is also reported that the effect of the use of a medical drug persists for a long time. However, experts note that the effectiveness and long therapeutic effect of the drug give not any additional components in its composition, but the fact that it contains twice the active component.
Among the shortcomings in the reviews about "Nalgesin Forte", patients note that the drug has a very extensive list of contraindications that prevent its use, and possible adverse events. It is often reported that it causes a variety of dyspeptic manifestations and allergic reactions.
In addition, the drug is relatively expensive, and the tablet has a rather large size, which makes it difficult to swallow.
