Migraineum is the first choice for headache treatment
The widespread prevalence of pain syndromes among the population leads to an increase in the need for effective analgesic drugs. Pain syndrome is one of the main reasons for a patient seeking medical help. Moreover, in many cases, the pain syndrome is associated with pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, lesions of the peripheral or central nervous system. Headaches, in particular tension headaches and migraines, are an important problem.
Tension headache accounts for approximately 55% of the total structure of headaches. It is characterized by a low intensity of pain manifestations, while there is no clear localization of pain. Tension headache is usually bilateral.
Typical manifestations of migraine are periodic attacks of intense one-sided pain, which usually has a pulsating character and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and increased sensitivity to sounds. The prevalence of migraine in the population varies widely (from 10 to 50% in different groups).
For medicines based on paracetamol, a pronounced analgesic effect is characteristic, and this group of drugs is also devoid of a number of side effects inherent in non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as erosive-ulcerative lesions of the digestive tract, as well as a delay in the excretion of sodium and water from the body, which contributes to the occurrence of edema …
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized paracetamol as the safest analgesic drug in its class and recommends it for use in obstetrics and pediatrics. So, the drug Migrenium is approved for use in children from the age of 12 years. Migraine is a combined analgesic drug that contains paracetamol and caffeine. The European Association of Neurologists (EAN) recommends combination pain relievers based on paracetamol and caffeine as drugs of first choice for the relief of mild to moderate migraine attacks.
The analgesic and antipyretic effect of paracetamol is achieved by blocking COX-2, affecting the centers of thermoregulation and pain. With these effects, the drug Migrenium does not have a negative effect on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, the blood coagulation system and water-salt metabolism (does not retain fluid in the body).
Caffeine has a stimulating effect on the psychomotor centers of the brain, improves vascular tone, increases mental and physical performance, and also enhances the effect of analgesic drugs. Thus, the analgesic effect of Migrenium is 40% higher than that of paracetamol monopreparations.
An important advantage of the Migrenium drug is the speed of achieving an analgesic effect, which occurs 15 minutes later from the moment the drug is taken.
In addition to the fact that Migrenium has proven itself well in relieving migraine attacks, tension headaches and other types of cephalgias, indications for the use of the drug are toothache, muscle (myalgia) and rheumatic pain, bone pain (ossalgia), pain in the joints (arthralgia), pain in the area of innervation of peripheral nerves (neuralgia), as well as painful menstruation in women, fever and colds.
The use of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs is more or less associated with the risk of side effects. Side effects include possible allergic reactions, dyspeptic disorders; in rare cases - hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, methemoglobinemia. With long-term use in high doses - hepatotoxicity, pancytopenia, nephrotoxicity. The risk of liver damage increases significantly in patients who regularly consume alcohol. Equally dangerous can be the use of ethyl alcohol during treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. So, there is an increase in the negative impact of drugs of this group, including ibuprofen and acetylsalicylic acid, on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract when combined with ethanol.
In the treatment of pain syndromes, preference is given to drugs that have high clinical efficacy with a relatively low risk of side effects. For this reason, Migrenium is the first choice for relieving headaches of various etiologies.
Since July 2017, a new batch of Migrenium has been on sale with an updated package design. Thus, in the near future, Migrenium can be found on the shelves of pharmacies both in the old and in the new packaging design, while the quality of the drug in both cases is the same.
