Dexalgin analogues are cheaper. Tablet price, in ampoules

Dexalgin is an effective medicine with analgesic properties, which is used for patients in order to eliminate pain of various origins. The price of the drug is high, which forces patients to select analogues that are cheaper, but have similar therapeutic properties. Most of the substitutes have a different composition, but this is not considered a reason to abandon their use.

Characteristics of the drug

The drug contains dexketoprofen trometamol component. This substance has the main therapeutic effect on the patient's body. The ingredient belongs to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory substances, which explains its high efficiency.

When the component enters the patient's blood, the substances that provoke the inflammatory process are blocked, which leads to the elimination of certain symptoms. As a result, the progression of the disease stops, the general condition of the patient is facilitated. Additionally, the main substance helps to relieve pain, eliminates tissue edema at the site of injury, and has antipyretic properties.

The complex effect of the remedy allows you to quickly eliminate acute symptoms, and the long-term preservation of the effect helps to reduce the dosage of other pain medications.

Dexalgin (analogues are cheaper, the price of which differs in different pharmacies, may contain other ingredients in the composition) has many indications for the appointment:

• Headache and toothache of varying severity.
• Migraine.
• Menstrual pain. The tool is used only in short courses.
• Exacerbation of sciatica.
• Osteochondrosis and osteoarthritis with severe pain in different parts of the spinal column.
• Neuritis, neuralgia and other pains of neurological origin.

• Postoperative pain. Usually, for such a violation, a parenteral dosage form of the drug is used.
• Oncological diseases in which discomfort occurs as a result of the spread of metastases in the body.
• Renal or hepatic colic.

The drug acts rather quickly after oral administration of a single dosage. It can be used as a sole therapy or in combination with other remedies. For the prevention of pain, the medication is not used, since it does not have prophylactic properties.

The medicine is produced in tablet form and in the form of a solution for parenteral administration, which allows each patient to choose the best option. At home, pills are more often used, but a solution is often administered in a hospital if, for various reasons, patients cannot take pills.

Basic instructions

Dexalgin in tablet form is intended for oral use, the solution is administered intravenously or intramuscularly. The high price of the drug is not an obstacle to use for all patients, but analogues that are cheaper. They can also be produced in several forms.

The dosage of the solution and tablets is determined individually, depending on the condition. Usually, no more than 2 tablets are consumed per day. The maximum daily allowance is 3 tablets. The solution is administered 1 ampoule per day. The tablet form is prescribed in courses of 5 days, but the solution can be administered for no more than 3 days in a row.

The drug has many contraindications:

The period of pregnancy and lactation is considered an absolute contraindication for the appointment of tablets or solution. The medication is not prescribed for children and adolescents, since there is no data on its effect on the body of this group of patients.

The drug often leads to the development of complications from the digestive tract, the blood system, especially if the instructions are violated. Long-term use can provoke gastrointestinal bleeding, especially in patients with chronic diseases.

Analogues are cheaper

Dexalgin (analogs are cheaper, the price of which is often less than 200 rubles, may have a less pronounced effect) has analogues that contain different ingredients in the composition, but have anesthetic and anti-inflammatory action.

Brustan

A medication for oral administration in tablet form, which can be used as a substitute, since it has pronounced analgesic properties. Like the original, the drug helps to reduce body temperature, has an anti-inflammatory effect, which makes it universal for many disorders.

The composition contains other ingredients, namely ibuprofen and paracetamol. The combined composition is considered the main difference between the drug and the original. The medication is not released in the form of a solution for parenteral administration, but its difference from Dexalgin is the presence of a dosage form for children, that is, a suspension for oral administration.

Ibuprofen in the composition of the drug also belongs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, so the drug eliminates pain, signs of inflammation and fever. Additionally, the effect of the drug is enhanced by the presence of paracetamol in the composition. Like the original, the drug is used for different types of pain. It relieves headaches and toothaches, and can be used for muscle and joint discomfort.

The difference is that the original is not often prescribed for the purpose of lowering body temperature, but a substitute is often used precisely as an antipyretic medicine for colds, viral diseases.

The drug has more indications for prescribing:

• Tonsillitis, laryngitis, otitis media.
• Acute gout.
• Rheumatoid arthritis at various stages.
• Musculoskeletal system injuries.

The original is often used to relieve symptoms after surgery, however, a substitute is rarely prescribed, due to the lack of a dosage form for parenteral administration.

Like Dexalgin, Brustan is not prescribed for intolerance to its components, a tendency to bleeding and acute pathologies of the digestive tract. But the agent in the form of a suspension can be prescribed to children over 3 years old if necessary. The tablet dosage form can be used for patients over 12 years old, while the original is prescribed only for adults.

During pregnancy, the drug is contraindicated, it is not used in the treatment of nursing women. The original in the form of tablets can be used no longer than 5 days, but a substitute is often prescribed in courses of 7 days. The dose is determined for patients individually; when prescribing to children, the patient's weight is taken into account.

The medication can provoke complications from the digestive, respiratory and cardiovascular systems. There is usually no life threatening treatment. The use of an analogue less often leads to the development of gastrointestinal bleeding, so it is considered safer.

Ketonal Duo

Dexalgin (analogs are cheaper, the price of which depends on the amount of the product in the package, often contain a similar in structure ingredient) works at the expense of dexketoprofen, but its substitutes may contain an ingredient with a similar structure. For example, Ketonal Duo provides a therapeutic effect due to the presence of ketoprofen in the composition.

Like the original, the analogue refers to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which provides an analgesic, antipyretic effect, and additionally helps to relieve the symptoms of inflammation. The difference between the drug is its dosage form, since it is available in the form of capsules for oral use.

Experts believe that the effect of the drug can be compared with the effect on the body of morphine. This explains the high efficiency. The drug is better absorbed in the body than the original, so it is often used in case of any chronic abnormalities in the digestive system.

Like Dexalgin, the substitute is indicated for pain of various origins, but it is also often prescribed for psoriatic arthritis. The original is not often used in this case. Do not prescribe a remedy for allergies to its components, bronchial asthma and acute diseases of the intestines, stomach. But the drug is allowed to be used during pregnancy in the 1st and 2nd trimester, as well as in the therapy of patients over 15 years old.

The original is contraindicated for such patients, as it can provoke severe complications. Dexalgin for pain of neurological origin is considered more effective than Ketonal Duo. The dosage of the medicine is determined individually in each case. The substitute can provoke disorders from the intestines and stomach, blood vessels and heart, but an overdose with its use develops less often.

One of their features is considered to be the impossibility of prescribing to patients with severe diabetes mellitus. The original can be used with caution for such violations.

Ibuprofen

The most popular analogue with similar properties, but based on another active ingredient, but with similar therapeutic properties. The drug contains ibuprofen. The ingredient belongs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory substances.

When using the drug, the elimination of the most pronounced symptoms, that is, pain of heat and inflammation, and swelling, is noted. Additionally, the medication helps to reduce the likelihood of rapid progression of the disease. Unlike Dexalgin, the analogue is available in tablet form, in the form of a suspension for oral administration, and a gel for external application. The substitute can be used not only for systemic violations.

The main indications for the appointment:

• Pains of various origins.
• An increase in body temperature as a result of colds, viral pathologies and other disorders.
• Bruises, sprains of muscles, ligaments.
• Ligament tears without compromising the integrity of the skin.
• Bursitis, tendinitis and tendovaginitis.
• Neuralgia and neuritis.

The drug is used within 7 days, while the maximum duration of treatment with Dexalgin tablets does not exceed 5 days. Ibuprofen gel can be prescribed in courses of 10 days. The medication rarely provokes complications, but has the same contraindications as the original.

The difference is the possibility of prescribing a suspension for children from 6 months, tablets - for patients over 12 years old. The original is contraindicated for lactating and pregnant women, but the analog can be used in the 1st and 2nd trimester according to individual indications and a doctor's prescription.

During the period of treatment with the remedy, disorders of the urinary, digestive, respiratory and cardiovascular systems may occur. The likelihood of developing an overdose and severe complications in the form of internal bleeding is lower than with the appointment of the original drug.

Has

Dexalgin (analogs are cheaper, the price of which is one of the advantages, may be less effective) is available not only in the form of tablets and solution for parenteral administration. For example, Imet is available only in the form of tablets, which does not allow its use in case of nausea and vomiting attacks, when absorption in the digestive tract is impaired.

In the composition of the drug, only ibuprofen is present, but the original has an effect due to another active substance. Unlike Dexalgin, Imet can be used not only for pain, but also in the case of diagnosing fever against the background of inflammatory, colds. The drug can be prescribed in courses of 10 days, if necessary. The original treatment regimen assumes use for 5 days.

The possibility of longer use is considered one of the differences and advantages of the substitute. The agent binds well to plasma proteins, its maximum concentration in the blood is reached faster. Despite the long-term effect of Dexalgin, the therapeutic effect occurs faster when taking Imet tablets.

The dosage of the drug is determined depending on the disease and the degree of its neglect. The drug is allowed to be used to treat children over 12 years old and pregnant women. A contraindication is considered the 3rd trimester of gestation, as well as the lactation period.

The tablet preparation has other contraindications:

• Blood clotting disorder.
• Profuse menses.
• Gastritis with increased acidity of gastric juice.
• The period of rehabilitation after undergoing surgery on the digestive organs.
• Intolerance to drugs based on acetylsalicylic acid.

The drug less often leads to the development of complications, but in the presence of chronic diseases of the digestive system, their symptoms may worsen. An overdose during treatment develops only in the case of prolonged intake of an increased dose of the drug. Treatment of elderly patients is carried out under the supervision of a physician, since complications may occur, even if all recommendations are followed.
