Abstract
At present non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) remain the basis for acute pain syndrome of any intensity treatment. In clinical neurologysts' practice NSAID are mostly used in musculoskeletal system disorders treatment and for headaches abortion. The concern is to choose a right medication for the patient considering all indications and contraindications, to determine an adequate dosage or a combination of several analgetic drugs. In the meantime it is recommended to use medications with maximal rate of analgesic effect development and minimal risk of adverse effects in gastrointestinal tract development without loss of effectiveness. Dexketoprofen trometamol, a dextrarotatory isomer of ketoprophen, is one of these medications from NSAID group. The drug is highly purified from R(-)-ketoprophen (99.9%), and has improved physico-chemical properties. The article describes its mechanisms of action, and presents clinical studies results that demonstrate dexketoprofen trometamol (Dexalgin®) analgetic effectiveness and tolerance with the primary indication for use in neurology in musculoskeletal pain and migrainous headaches treatment.
