Pharmacodynamics

The main active ingredient of Ultrafastin is ketoprofen. It has a pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. The main component is able to reduce the activity of cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2. This leads to a decrease in the production of prostaglandins, and in fact they play a major role in the pathogenesis of the pain syndrome. This is the pharmacodynamics of the drug, but that's not all.

The mechanism of anti-inflammatory effect has not been fully studied. It is known that ketoprofen leads to difficulties in the release of lysosomal enzymes. In addition, it significantly reduces the oxygen metabolism of neutrophilic cells. The drug actively slows the migration of macrophages and thus leads to a decrease in the activity of the bradykinin system. All these actions lead to a reduction in phase II inflammation. This is due to a reduced migration of granulocytes and macrophages into the synovial membrane. All this leads to the formation of cellular filtrates.

Pharmacokinetics

The components of Ultrafastin perfectly penetrate the skin. Thus, there is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. And you can feel relief almost immediately. The basis of pharmacokinetics is the rate of absorption and distribution. In this case, these parameters completely depend on the thickness of the skin. A special role here is played by the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer, as well as the intensity of the blood supply at the site of the lesion.

With external use of Ultrafastin, its maximum amount in the blood plasma is observed after an hour. Virtually 99% of the main absorbed component interacts with blood plasma proteins.

As for bioavailability, it is 5%. The effect of the first origin is observed in the liver. The drug is completely excreted in the urine, 80% in the form of metabolites and 10% unchanged. Even if Ultravastine is used for a long time, it is not able to accumulate in the body.

Dosing and administration

The remedy is used exclusively externally. The gel must be applied to the affected area with a thick layer and rubbed with light massaging movements. This will speed up the process of absorption and, accordingly, of relief. In general, the method of administration and dose should be prescribed by a doctor, depending on the severity of the inflammatory and painful process.

Ultrafastin should be used 2-3 times a day, this will achieve maximum therapeutic effect. The duration of treatment is determined on an individual basis. Only a specialist can make this decision. Self-use means is not recommended.

Despite the fact that in the third trimester the use is not prohibited, it should be done only with the permission of the doctor.

Therefore, it is better to choose a dry place, the bathroom is definitely not the best option.

Do not keep the tube open. This will result in the absorption or volatilization of substances. There may be a reaction with air. Therefore, the bottle must be permanently closed. Tightness is an important condition for any storage.

Observe the necessary and optimal temperature. It is desirable that the gel is at room temperature, in a dark place that does not undergo heating.
