Description

Dexketoprofen (Flamadex) Pharmacodynamics
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), propionic acid derivative. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis at the level of cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2.
Analgesic effect occurs 30 min after parenteral administration. Duration of analgesic effect after administration of 50 mg is about 4-8 hours.
When combined therapy with opioid analgesics, dexketoprofen significantly (up to 30-45%) reduces the need for opioids.
