Description of the active components of the drug " Pentalgin ® -icn»

Pharmacological action

The combined drug has an analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-migraine effect.

Paracetamol- analgesic-antipyretic. Blocks COX mainly in the central nervous system, affecting the centers of pain and thermoregulation; has analgesic and antipyretic effects.

Metamizole sodium- analgesic-antipyretic, pyrazolone derivative. Has a pronounced analgesic effect.

Caffeine- a psychostimulant, improves the well-being of patients and reduces headaches of vascular origin (including migraine).

Phenobarbital- barbiturate, increases the analgesic effectiveness of metamizole sodium and paracetamol.

Codeine has an analgesic effect due to the stimulation of opioid receptors in various parts of the central nervous system, leading to stimulation of the antinociceptive system and a change in the emotional perception of pain.

Indications

— pain syndrome of various origins of weak and moderate intensity (including arthralgia, myalgia, radiculitis, algodismenoria, neuralgia, headache, toothache);

- colds and conditions accompanied by fever.

Dosage regimen

Prescribe 1 tablet. 1-3 times/day. The maximum daily dose is 4 tablets.

Pentalgin-ICN is a combined pharmaceutical drug intended for pain relief.

What are the composition and release form of Pentalgin-ICN?

The active ingredients in Pentalgin-ICN are represented by the following compounds: paracetamol - 300 milligrams, caffeine - 50 mg, metamizole sodium - 300 mg, phenobarbital - 10 mg, codeine phosphate - 8 mg. The designations are based on the calculation for 1 tablet. Auxiliary components: calcium stearate, potato starch, povidone, stearic acid.

The drug Pentalgin-ICN is available in white tablets with a slight yellow tint, on one side of which there is the designation “PENTALGIN”. The medicine is sold in packs of 12 pieces. A doctor's prescription is required to purchase.

What is the effect of Pentalgin-ICN?

The combined drug has the following pharmacological effects: antipyretic, analgesic (pain reliever), and anti-migraine. The effect of a pharmaceutical product is determined by its chemical composition.

Paracetamol is a strong analgesic, the mechanism of action of which is due to its effect on the processes of synthesis of cyclooxygenase, a special enzyme responsible for the processes of synthesis of prostaglandins.

A decrease in the amount of prostaglandins suppresses the processes of transmission and generation of electrical impulses in some structures of the brain, which inhibits the activity of pain centers and thermoregulation.

Paracetamol is quickly destroyed by tissue peroxidases, which blocks the appearance of the anti-inflammatory effect, but thanks to this, the pharmaceutical drug almost does not irritate the gastric mucosa and does not lead to electrolyte disturbances.

Metamizole sodium is a strong analgesic, a paracetamol synergist. Its action, as in the case of the previous component of the pharmaceutical drug, is aimed at suppressing the electrical activity of pain centers in the brain.

Caffeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system, its action is aimed at improving the patient’s well-being, eliminating depression and depressive mood. In addition, it is known that this substance can suppress headaches of vascular origin, in particular migraine.

Phenobarbital is another synergist of paracetamol and metamizole sodium, which does not have an analgesic effect. Among the pharmacological effects of this substance, weak sedative, antiepileptic and minor hypnotic should be noted.

Codeine is a non-narcotic analgesic, the action of which is due to its effect on opioid receptors, which leads to stimulation of the so-called antinociceptive system and changes the degree of perception of pain.

Data on the pharmacokinetics (methods of biological transformation and routes of elimination) of the drug Pentalgin-ICN are not provided.

What are the indications for use of Pentalgin-ICN?

Pentalgin-ICN tablets instructions for use allow use for medicinal purposes to relieve pain of moderate and mild severity in the following cases:

Headache, including migraine;
Algodismenorrhea (painful periods);
Neuralgia of various localizations;
Myalgia (muscle pain);
Arthralgia (joint pain);
Toothache;
Injuries and burns;
Fever of various origins.

You can take this drug only after prior consultation with a specialist, since there are a significant number of conditions that in one way or another limit the use of this medicine.

What are the contraindications for use of Pentalgin-ICN?

The instructions for use of the drug Pentalgin-ICN (tablets) do not allow use for medicinal purposes in the following cases:

Bronchial asthma;
Severe renal failure;
Anemic conditions;
Alcohol intoxication;
Glaucoma;
Myocardial infarction in the acute period;
Pregnancy;
Age 12 or less;
Lactation period;
Respiratory depression;
Glaucoma;
Traumatic brain injury;
Individual intolerance;
Heart rhythm disturbance.

Relative contraindications: gastric ulcer, arterial hypertension, old age.

What is the use of Pentalgin-ICN? What is the dosage for Pentalgin-ICN?

The usually recommended dosage is 1 tablet up to 3 times a day. In severe cases, it is possible to take 4 tablets of the drug, which is the maximum daily dosage. The maximum duration of treatment is 5 days (as a pharmaceutical anesthetic) and 3 days (as an antipyretic drug). If treatment is ineffective, you should stop taking the medication and consult a doctor.

Pentalgin-ICN - drug overdose

Symptoms are: vomiting, tachycardia, respiratory depression, abdominal pain. Treatment: inducing vomiting and gastric lavage (if no more than 2 hours have passed since administration), taking enterosorbents (for example, activated carbon), as well as other measures of symptomatic therapy.

What are the side effects of Pentalgin-ICN?

Taking Pentalgin-ICN tablets may cause the following side effects: skin rashes and other allergic reactions, tachycardia, nausea, vomiting, constipation, dizziness and drowsiness, changes in laboratory blood parameters.

Special instructions

Professional competitive athletes should avoid using this medication as it may result in false positive drug tests.

In addition, experts classify Pentalgin as a prohibited drug while driving. Therefore, patients whose professional activities involve the need to operate dangerous mechanisms or vehicles should exercise the maximum degree of caution (the appearance of weakness and drowsiness), and even better, refrain from working for a while.

How to replace Pentalgin-ICN, what analogues should I use?

Pentalgin-Nova, Pentamialgin, Sedalgin-Neo, Pentalfen-MEZ, Pentalgin-FC, Sedal-M, Pentalgin-MEZ, Pentalgin-Vero, and also Pentalgin-NS.

Conclusion

The use of painkillers should be supervised by a specialist. The reason for this limitation lies in the ability of analgesics to mask a dangerous pathology, which will lead to the loss of precious time.
