Reviews of medical specialists

Ekaterina Vasilievna, therapist
The active substance in Dexalgin helps to eliminate pain quite quickly. With a brief use of the drug causes a minimum number of non-productive effects on the body. Adult patients prescribe the drug often.
Oleg Sinushenko, therapist
The course of treatment with dexalgin cannot be long. For the prevention of negative effects on the body injections, I prescribe a drug for 1-2 days. As a rule, in patients already on the first day, the site of the lesion is less sore. Often, Dexalgin is more effective than synonyms (especially domestically produced) on the basis of Ibuprofen and other substances.
