Anti-inflammatory tablets from non-steroidal neuralgia are often used for complex treatment. This group of medicines is used in the treatment of almost every disease. These medications take away uncomfortable sensations and lower the temperature if it appears.
Indications for use
Tablets from neuralgia Finplesin prescribed for the following diseases: atypical and typical neuralgic diseases (caused by multiple sclerosis) and idiopathic neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve, as well as the glossopharyngeal nerve.
Neuromultivitis in neurological practice has indications for use in the complex treatment of patients with neuralgia (intercostal and trigeminal nerve).
The drug Nyz is often prescribed for neuralgia.
Tablets Ketonal, as well as Ketonal Uno and Duo doctors prescribe when symptoms of relief pain syndromes of neuralgic origin, having different locations on the body (severe and moderate severity of the form) appear.
Sedalgin Plus is used for symptomatic therapy of pain syndromes that occur in neuralgic diseases of peripheral NA.
Voltaren is indicated in the occurrence of neuralgic pain syndromes in the spine.
Spazgan is used in the process of short-term therapy to remove the symptoms of a neuralgic disease.
Tablets for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia
Postherpetic neuralgia is a complex of painful sensations that appear in a patient on the body in places where shingles have previously poured out .
Often, antiviral tablets against neuralgia are used to treat this disease, including valaciclovir, acyclovir, and famciclovir. These drugs were recognized by patients as most effective in the process of preventing the appearance of neuralgia or reducing the severity of the symptoms.
A clinical study demonstrated that the above drugs can reduce pain from herpes zoster, as well as reduce the risk of postherpetic neuralgia. The results of famciclovir were analyzed, which showed that prolonged postherpetic neuralgia can occur with severe rash, severe acute pain, in older patients. Also, the results demonstrated that when using tablets for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia, pharmacyclovir, the frequency of manifestation of the symptoms of the disease and its duration are significantly reduced.
Patients suffering from shingles can be treated by combining anesthetics with PGN, as well as antiviral treatment. Effective medications are amitriptyline, lidocaine, pregabalin, gabapentin.
Pharmacodynamics
Farmakodinamka Finlepsin is an antiepileptic drug that can also have antipsychotic, antidepressant and antidiuretic effects. With neuralgia, the drug performs an analgesic function. During the action, the potential-dependent sodium channels are blocked, which allows stabilizing the membrane of overexcited nerves. In addition, there is a decrease in the synaptic movement of impulses and inhibition of the appearance of serial neuronal discharges. The drug does not allow Na + -dependent action potentials to be re-formed in depolarized nerves. If secondary or essential neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve is observed, the drug prevents the appearance of pain. After taking Finlepsin she retreats about 8-72 hours later.
Tablets from neuromuscular neuromultivitis have such pharmacodynamic properties: phosphorylation turns vitamin B1 into a so-called cocarboxylase (this is a coenzyme of many different enzyme reactions). In turn, the phosphorylated form of the vitamin B6 is a coenzyme in the metabolism of amino acids. He takes part in the biosynthesis of various neurotransmitters (adrenaline, dopamine, histamine, norepinephrine, and GABA substances). During the maturation of red blood cells, as well as hematogenesis, vitamin B12 takes part. It also helps transfer methyl groups (and other single carbonaceous fragments), synthesize proteins and nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates.
Pharmacokinetics
Tablets from the neurology of Finplepsin have a slow, but full absorption. The intake of food has no particular effect on the degree and rate of absorption of the drug substances. With a single dose of medication, C max is reached after 12 hours. T max is a period of 4-5 hours. In plasma, the drug reaches a stable concentration after 1-2 weeks. Medicinal substances are metabolized in the liver, mainly through the epoxy route. In the process, the main metabolites are formed: the inactive conjugate with glucuronic acid, as well as the active substance carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide. The main isoenzyme, which is involved in biotransformation of carbamazepine in a new form, is cytochrome P450 (CYP3A4). When taking a single tablet of carbamazepine 72% goes with the urine, and the remaining 28% - with feces.
Pharmacokinetics Neuromultivitis - its components are water-soluble vitamins, so they will not be cumulated. Pyridoxine, together with thiamine, is absorbed by the upper intestinal department, and the rate of this process depends on the size of the dose. Cyanocobalamin is absorbed because of the presence in the stomach, as well as the upper intestinal part of the internal factor. Further, the substance enters the tissues together with transcobalamin II (transport protein). The components of the drug are metabolized in the liver. They are excreted from the body through the kidneys (approximately 8-10% remain unchanged).
Tablets names from neuralgia
Not all tablet forms of drugs can help in the treatment of neuralgia, because the pain sensations in this case are very unpleasant and they are not always drowned out. Because of this, doctors often advise the use of drugs of a new generation that have a more clearly defined orientation toward the elimination of painful sensations. The names of modern tablets from neuralgia are as follows:
- tiaprofenic acid;
- menovazine;
- promedol;
- naproxen;
- ketoprofen;
- ketorolac.
If we talk about medicines of the old generation, diclofenac is a fairly good remedy . But drugs like celecoxib or meloxicam are better for neuralgic diseases, because they do not cope with pains of this type very well.
Not bad coping with inflammation and pain medications, which contain bee or snake venom. This, for example, is an apifor, which has the form of tablets. But these medicines have some contraindications. They are prohibited when:
- Problems with the liver and kidneys.
- Defects of the heart.
- The bearing of a child.
- Fever.
- High sensitivity to poison.
Anesthetic tablets with neuralgia

There are also more modern pills for neuralgia. They are characterized by a longer exposure to the body. Among these drugs, the drug Melox Fort - it will be enough to take it once a day.
Tablets from intercostal neuralgia
Intercostal neuralgia is a pain syndrome that occurs as a result of irritation or squeezing of nerves located between the edges.
Tablets from intercostal neuralgia are the main part of the complex treatment of this disease. In the process of therapy, the following medicament preparations are used:

- nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory tablets - voltaren and diclofenac, indomethacin, piroxicam, and ibuprofen. They remove inflammation and can relieve painful spasms. Such medications are taken 1-2 times / day. Increased dosage can lead to an increased risk of gastrointestinal pathology. Without the appointment of a doctor, medicines of this group are allowed to take a maximum of 5-7 days;
- muscle relaxants - effective pills for neuralgia. They are designed to remove muscle spasms, which are one of the factors in the appearance of intercostal neuralgia. This group of drugs includes clonazepam, baclofen, and also sirdalud. The doctor selects the duration of taking the pills individually.
Tablets from trigeminal neuralgia
Neuralgia of the trigeminal nerve is called a chronic disease, in which a strong paroxysmal pain is felt in the region of finding the processes of the trigeminal nerve.
In its treatment, various pills are used, among which anticonvulsant drugs are considered to be the main ones. They are used in neuralgia most often, as they can eliminate pain sensations, reducing the activity of nerve cells. Among the tablets from trigeminal neuralgia, carbamazepine is most commonly prescribed . Valproic acid medicines are also used: diphenin, convullex, oxcarbazepine, depaxin, and lamotrigine.
With this disease, drugs that have an effect on neuromuscular transmission will also be very effective. Such pills from neuralgia fill the reserve in the body of GABA substances, thus removing painful sensations. Together with anticonvulsant medications they are still effective. The most effective drug in this group is baclofen.
Sometimes doctors can prescribe a glycine amino acid - a tablet of myeglanol. The treatment course in this case will be approximately 4-5 weeks.
Antidepressants that affect the functional activity of the brain can be prescribed to reduce the perception of pain . In this case, amitriptyline is taken. Dosage - 50-150 mg / day.
More details about the disease you can read here.
Tablets from neuralgia of the facial nerve
With neuralgia of the facial nerve, the nerves that control the facial muscles of one side of the face become inflamed. Because of the disease, these muscles begin to weaken, reaching the stage of reduction or complete disappearance of facial movements, which creates an asymmetric face.
It is necessary to treat such a disease in the early stages, as this makes it possible to prevent the possible occurrence of complications, as well as various residual phenomena. Effective in this case will be tablets from neuralgia of the facial nerve prednisone, which belong to the group of corticosteroids.
Reception is carried out within 5 days in the mornings. Dosage on the first day is 60 mg, and then gradually decreases. Finish taking the drug should be no later than 10-14 days. In such doses, these pills from neuralgia are safe and effective in reducing the edema of the nerve, because of which the intraosseous canal is impaired. In this case, the recovery occurs fairly quickly. Another plus - disappear pains in the behind-the-scenes area.
Tablets from shoulder neuralgia
Traditional modern medicine in the process of treating shoulder neuralgia involves a large set of procedures. They are mainly aimed at getting rid of the painful sensations in the shoulder. To this end, painkillers are used - pill from shoulder neuralgia, in addition to which various physiotherapeutic procedures are carried out.
Usually, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used to treat this disease, which remove inflammation, which provokes the appearance of pain. This allows you to reduce the intensity of pain. Among the drugs used are the following:
- Diclofenac;
- Ketanov;

Due to the fact that the drug binds well to proteins in the plasma, in the case of an overdose, forced diuresis, as well as peritoneal dialysis will be ineffective. Small children can perform a replacement blood transfusion.
Tablets from Neuromultivitis neuralgia have the following symptoms of overdose (it is possible only if very large doses are taken for a long time): more than 2 g / day of vitamin B6 can cause neuropathies with ataxia manifestations, as well as problems with sensitivity.
