Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

Naproxen is the active substance of Nalgezin, which has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. The mechanism of action is based on non-selective inhibition of the activity of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX-1 and -2).

The tablets dissolve well and are quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, which provides a rapid onset of the analgesic effect.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption of naproxen from the gastrointestinal tract is fast and complete, bioavailability is 95% (food intake has practically no effect on completeness and absorption rate).

The time to reach the maximum concentration of the substance is from 1 to 2 hours, the connection with plasma proteins is more than 99%, the half-life is in the range of 12-15 hours.

Metabolism occurs in the liver to dimethylnaproxen, the enzyme system CYP2C9 is involved in the process. The clearance is 0.13 ml / min / kg.

Excretion: 98% - by the kidneys (of which 10% - unchanged), 0.5-2.5% - with bile. Equilibrium concentration is achieved after 2-3 days of therapy (after taking 4-5 doses).

In patients with renal insufficiency, accumulation of metabolites may occur.

Indications for use
