Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

Piralgin is a combination drug that has the properties non-narcotic analgesics And NSAIDs . Analgesic And anti-inflammatory effect manifests itself through content naproxen And metamizole sodium .

The analgesic effect is enhanced codeine , which blocks opiate receptors and changes the perception of pain. Besides, codeine, suppressing the excitability of the cough center, has an antitussive effect. It has a less depressant effect on the respiratory center than morphine and is less likely to cause nausea and vomiting. Antitussive effect relieves the condition of colds.

Caffeine dilates blood vessels in the brain, skeletal muscles and heart. Eliminates drowsiness, increases physical performance and blood pressure during hypotension . Caffeine eliminates headache . By increasing the permeability of blood barriers, it increases the bioavailability of other components of the drug, which enhances their therapeutic effect. Phenobarbital It has sedative effect , increases the efficiency of action metamizole And naproxen . The duration of action of the drug is 5-6 hours.

Pharmacokinetics

All components of the drug are well absorbed. Metamizole sodium hydrolyzes in the intestinal wall. Its active metabolite is 50-60% protein bound. Metabolites are excreted by the kidneys.

Caffeine has a half-life of 6 to 10 hours. Excreted by the kidneys. Codeine binds to proteins in small quantities. Metabolized in the liver. Excreted by the kidneys.

Bioavailability naproxen 95%. The half-life is 12-14 hours. It is mainly excreted in urine and in small quantities in bile.

Bioavailability phenobarbital 80%. Binds to proteins by 50%, penetrates the placenta. Metabolized in the liver. Excreted by the kidneys.

Compound:

Composition per tablet:

Active substances: metamizole sodium (analgin) - 300 mg, naproxen - 100 mg, caffeine - 50 mg, codeine or codeine phosphate in terms of codeine - 8 mg, phenobarbital - 10 mg.

Excipients: potato starch - 242 mg, low molecular weight povidone (low molecular weight medical polyvinylpyrrolidone) - 9 mg, sodium citrate - 4 mg, magnesium stearate - 7 mg.

Description:

tablets are white or white with a yellowish or creamy tint, flat-cylindrical. The abbreviated name of the drug “PENT-N” is applied to one side of the tablet using embossing.

Pharmacotherapeutic group:

analgesic (opioid analgesic + non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug + psychostimulant + barbiturate)

ATX:

  • Metamizole sodium in combination with psycholeptics
  • Pharmacodynamics:

    The combined drug has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects.

    Naproxen and
    metamizole sodium - have analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

    Codeine stimulates opiate receptors in various parts of the central nervous system, which leads to activation of the antinoceceptive system and a change in the emotional perception of pain.
    Phenobarbital and
    codeine increases the analgesic effectiveness of metamizole sodium and naproxen.

    Caffeine causes dilation of blood vessels in skeletal muscles, brain, heart, kidneys; increases mental and physical performance, helps eliminate fatigue and drowsiness; increases the permeability of histohematic barriers and increases the bioavailability of non-narcotic analgesics, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    The components of the drug are well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.

    Metamizole sodium: in the intestinal wall it is hydrolyzed to form the active metabolite, 4-methyl-amino-antipyrine, which in turn is metabolized to 4-formyl-amino-antipyrine and other metabolites. The level of binding of the active metabolite to proteins is 50-60%. Excretion of metabolites occurs through the kidneys. In addition, metabolites are excreted in breast milk.

    Naproxen: bioavailability is 95%. Binds to blood proteins. The half-life is 12-15 hours. It is excreted in the urine mainly in the form of a metabolite (dimethylnaproxen), in small quantities - in bile.

    Caffeine: well absorbed in the intestine, half-life is 5 hours (sometimes up to 10 hours). It is excreted mainly by the kidneys in the form of metabolites, about 10% - unchanged.

    Codeine: slightly binds to plasma proteins. Undergoes biotransformation in the liver (10% by demethylation goes into
    morphine). Excreted by the kidneys (5-15% unchanged).

    Phenobarbital: bioavailability is 80%. In plasma it binds to proteins by 50%, penetrates well through the placenta. Biotransformed in the liver. The main metabolite has no pharmacological activity. It is excreted by the kidneys, including 20-25% unchanged.

    Indications for use

    Taken for mild and moderately severe pain of various origins (including pain in joints, muscles, radiculitis, menstrual pain, neuralgia, as well as headaches, migraines, toothaches). Can be used for feverish conditions, colds and other diseases accompanied by pain and inflammation.

    Contraindications

    Hypersensitivity, severe liver and/or kidney failure, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum in the acute stage, bronchial asthma, bronchospasm. Conditions accompanied by respiratory depression. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency; anemia, leukopenia; conditions accompanied by respiratory depression; traumatic brain injury, acute myocardial infarction; arrhythmias, severe arterial hypertension, alcohol intoxication, glaucoma, children (up to 12 years).

    Carefully:

    Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum (in remission), old age, mild to moderate arterial hypertension.

    Pregnancy and lactation:

    The drug is contraindicated for use during pregnancy.

    If it is necessary to use the drug during lactation, it is necessary to decide on stopping breastfeeding.

    Directions for use and doses

    The drug is usually taken 1 tablet 1-3 times a day. The maximum daily dose is 4 tablets. The drug should not be taken for more than 5 days as an analgesic and for more than 3 days as an antipyretic without a doctor’s prescription.

    Side effect

    Dyspeptic disorders (nausea, vomiting, constipation), allergic skin reactions (rash, itching, urticaria), epigastric pain, dizziness, drowsiness, palpitations are possible. Rarely - inhibition of hematopoiesis (leukopenia, granulocytopenia, agranulocytosis). With long-term use in high doses, liver and kidney function may be impaired.

    Overdose:

    Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tachycardia, cardiac arrhythmias, weakness, drowsiness, delirium, respiratory depression.

    Treatment: induction of vomiting, transtube gastric lavage, administration of adsorbents (activated carbon), symptomatic therapy aimed at maintaining vital functions.

    Interaction

    Concomitant use of the drug with other non-narcotic analgesics may lead to increased toxic effects. Tricyclic antidepressants, oral contraceptives,
    allopurinol increases the toxicity of metamizole sodium (analgin), which is part of the drug. Barbiturates,
    phenylbutazone and other inducers of microsomal liver enzymes weaken the effect of metamizole sodium (analgin). The simultaneous use of metamizole sodium (analgin) with cyclosporine reduces the level of the latter in the blood. Sedatives and tranquilizers enhance the analgesic effect of the drug.

    Special instructions:

    When used for more than 5 days, monitoring of the peripheral blood picture and the functional state of the liver is necessary.

    Due to the presence of codeine and phenobarbital in the drug, it is possible to obtain positive results when using test systems, including during doping control.

    It makes it difficult to establish a diagnosis in acute abdominal pain syndrome.

    Patients suffering from atopic bronchial asthma and hay fever have an increased risk of developing hypersensitivity reactions.

    Effect on ability to drive:

    Due to the possibility of developing a sedative effect, during treatment it is not recommended to drive vehicles or engage in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration, speed of psychomotor and motor reactions.
