Pharmacodynamics

Analgos is a locally irritating medication. The fat-soluble substance propyl nicotinate penetrates the skin and is converted into nicotinic acid by splitting. This process stimulates vasodilation, increased blood microcirculation and an increase in local temperature. All of the above contributes to an analgesic effect with average efficiency, which is achieved by blocking the afferent nerve endings of the skin and internal organs.

Interactions with other drugs

When used simultaneously with other topical medications with a local irritant effect, as well as thermal physiotherapy procedures, it can lead to a pronounced irritant effect on the skin. This effect is enhanced if large areas of skin are exposed. In this case, a strong drop in blood pressure can be observed, which can even lead to the patient's collapse.
