Dexketoprofen gegen Schmerzen

About dexketoprofen

Dexketoprofen is a type of entzündungshemmendem Schmerzmittel called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

It is used to treat short-term painful conditions such as muscular Verstauchungen und Zerrungen, period (menstrual) pain, and toothache.

Dexketoprofen works by blocking COX enzymes in the body. These enzymes help produce prostaglandins, chemicals that cause pain and inflammation.

When dexketoprofen blocks COX enzymes, fewer prostaglandins are made, so pain and inflammation decrease.

Common side effects of dexketoprofen include:

• Verdauungsstörungen.

• Sodbrennen.

• Magenschmerzen.

• Übelkeit.

• Erbrechen.

• Durchfall.

A full list of the side effects can be found in the manufacturer's printed information leaflet supplied with the medicine. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist if any side effects continue or become troublesome.

Wenn Sie andere Symptome bemerken, die Ihrer Meinung nach auf das Medikament zurückzuführen sind, sprechen Sie mit Ihrem Arzt oder Apotheker für weitere Ratschläge.

Some medicines aren’t suitable for everyone. Before taking dexketoprofen, your doctor needs to know:

• If you have ever had a stomach or duodenal ulcer, or if you have an inflammatory bowel disorder such as Morbus Crohn oder Colitis ulcerosa.

• Wenn Sie Asthma oder eine andere allergische Erkrankung haben.

• Wenn Sie schwanger sind, versuchen, ein Baby zu bekommen, oder stillen.

• Wenn Sie Probleme mit der Funktion Ihrer Leber haben oder wenn Sie Probleme mit der Funktion Ihrer Nieren haben.

• Wenn Sie Blutgerinnungsprobleme haben.

• Wenn Sie einen hohen Blutzucker- oder Cholesterinspiegel haben.

• Wenn Sie eine Bindegewebserkrankung wie systemischer Lupus erythematodes haben. Dies ist eine entzündliche Erkrankung, die auch Lupus oder SLE genannt wird.

• If you are taking any other medicines which are available to buy without a prescription, as well as herbal and complementary medicines.

• Read the leaflet that comes with the medicine before you start. It explains how dexketoprofen works and lists possible side effects.

• Depending on your condition, you may take half a tablet every 4-6 hours or one tablet every 8 hours. Stop taking the tablets once the pain has gone.

• Do not take more than three 25 mg tablets per day.

• Take the tablets with water. They work faster on an empty stomach (about 30 minutes before food), but if they make you feel sick, take them after eating.

• Check with a pharmacist before taking any other medicines. Do not take dexketoprofen with other anti-inflammatory painkillers, including some over-the-counter cold and flu remedies.

• Wenn Sie sich einer Operation oder Zahnbehandlung unterziehen, informieren Sie die Person, die die Behandlung durchführt, welche Medikamente Sie einnehmen.

• Bewahren Sie alle Medikamente außerhalb der Reichweite und Sicht von Kindern auf.
