Ultrafastin

Joint pain interferes with normal life. It can overtake a person at any time and for various reasons. To combat this unpleasant symptom, an excellent drug Ultrafastin was developed. It allows you to quickly relieve pain and excessive inflammation.

Indications Ultrafastin

The main function of Ultrafastin is to provide anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. Human joints and muscles can begin to bother at any time. This happens due to excessive impact on them by means of increased physical work. Tendons and muscles can suffer due to severe trauma. Therefore, the main indications for the use of Ultrafastin are post-traumatic pain.

The medicine is applied externally, which alleviates the whole situation. You can take it with you and use it at any time. The effectiveness of Ultrafastin has been proven by more than one year of testing. Ultrafastin really helps to cope with even the most severe pain and eliminates the unpleasant symptom in a matter of minutes.

Despite its safety, it should not be used without the knowledge of a doctor. After all, the drug can lead to the development of side effects. This topic will be discussed below.

Release form

Ultrafastin is available as a gel for external use. In fact, this form of release is very convenient. You can carry the medicine with you, because the weight of the tube does not exceed 30 grams. There is a larger package, it contains a medicine of 50 grams. The concentration of the active component is 2.5%. By the way, the main substance is ketoprofen lazine salt.

Ultrafastin does not contain auxiliary components and therefore is the safest among others. Ketoprofen lazine salt helps a person cope with pain of any localization. It is enough to simply apply the gel to the affected area and the pain syndrome will begin to recede. To achieve a special therapeutic effect, it is necessary to follow the doctor's recommendations.

It is worth noting that the medicine does not have other forms of release. In fact, this is very important information. It will help to avoid getting counterfeits.

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 they play a major role in the pathogenesis of pain syndrome. This is the pharmacodynamics of the drug, but that's not all.

The mechanism of anti-inflammatory action has not been fully studied. It is known that ketoprofen leads to difficulty in the release of lysosomal enzymes. In addition, it significantly reduces the oxygen metabolism of neutrophilic cells. The drug actively slows down the migration of macrophages and thereby leads to a decrease in the activity of the bradykinin system. All these actions lead to a reduction in phase II of inflammation. This occurs due to 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 under the skin. Thus, an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect is provided. Moreover, relief can be felt almost immediately. The basis of pharmacokinetics is the rate of absorption and distribution. In this case, these indicators 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 blood supply at the site of injury.

When using Ultrafastin externally, its maximum amount in blood plasma is observed after an hour. Almost 99% of the main absorbed component interacts with blood plasma proteins.

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

Dosing and administration

The product is used externally only. The gel should be applied to the affected area in a thin layer and rubbed in with light massaging movements. This will speed up the absorption process and, accordingly, relief. In general, the method of application and dosage 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 allow achieving the maximum therapeutic effect. The duration of treatment is determined individually. Only a specialist can make such a decision. It is not recommended to use the product on your own.

The gel has no smell, which allows you to apply it anywhere. Moreover, it does not leave greasy marks and is perfectly absorbed through the skin. The product does not contain dyes. All this indicates that it is quite possible to use Ultrafastin without the help of a dry bandage.

Use Ultrafastin during pregnancy

The medication is not used orally, so there can be no contraindications. But, despite this, the use of the gel during pregnancy is prohibited in the third trimester.

Most often, drugs should not be taken in the early stages of pregnancy. In this case, everything is a little different. This is due to the fact that the drug can affect the mother's body. Despite the fact that in the third trimester, use is not prohibited, this should be done only with the permission of a doctor. After all, as described above, the mechanism of action of ketoprofen has not been fully studied. Therefore, the risk of developing adverse effects remains.

In general, the drug penetrates only into the subcutaneous layers. However, it is also concentrated in the blood plasma. How this can affect the future baby is unknown. Therefore, it is not worth experimenting with this. Any drug is taken only if the positive result for the mother is much higher than the possible complications for the baby.

Contraindications

The main contraindication is the presence of hypersensitivity in a person. Many people ignore this recommendation. The use of the product in case of hypersensitivity is fraught with the development of serious allergic reactions from the body. Another contraindication for use is the presence of an open wound. It is prohibited to apply the gel to such an area.

The medication cannot be used for eczema or weeping dermatoses. The presence of infected abrasions and infectious lesions of the skin is also a contraindication. It is not recommended to use the gel in areas with burns and wounds. In this case, the gel can lead to an increase in existing symptoms. Such an effect will adversely affect the existing wound.

Due to its characteristics and strong active component, the product should not be used by children under 15 years of age. Following these recommendations will prevent the situation from worsening.

Side effects Ultrafastin

The body very rarely reacts negatively to such an impact. As a result of studies, it was found that side effects are not common. Sometimes an allergic reaction from the skin may develop. It is characterized by the appearance of itching, redness and rash. Skin eczema, purpura and photosensitivity can develop.

Very rarely, the skin becomes too sensitive to bright light. This condition is characterized by the appearance of severe papular exanthema. This disease is unpleasant and tends to recur constantly.

Ketoprofen can provoke bronchospasm in those patients who are too sensitive to the use of acetylsalicylic acid. The frequency of side effects, as well as their manifestation, depend on the area of the treated area and the amount of the product applied. Other symptoms may also be registered when using the bandage. Including deviations in the functioning of the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract.

[ 7 ]

Overdose

There were no cases of strange reactions from the body during the period of using the product. In general, Ultrafastin does not cause an overdose, but you should not exclude the possibility of its occurrence. If the gel is applied excessively to the skin, severe allergic reactions may develop. Moreover, systematic use of the product in large quantities and on a large area of the skin can lead to the development of abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys.

The gel can be accidentally swallowed. There are different situations and this should not be completely ruled out. Such an effect on the body can lead to the development of serious poisoning. Therefore, if the product is ingested, you must immediately wash out the stomach. After all, the consequences can be really severe. After that, you should inform the doctor about the situation and, if necessary, begin symptomatic therapy.

Interactions with other drugs

Negative reactions may occur when using several drugs at the same time. This is possible, but only if Ultrafastin is used for a long time. Thus, simultaneous interaction with other drugs, including heparins, can lead to the development of bleeding. A similar effect can occur in the case of using oral anticoagulants, thrombolytics and cefoperazine.

Ultrafastin may reduce the effect of diuretics. As for oral hypoglycemic drugs, as well as insulin, the effect of the latter may be enhanced. Therefore, if it is necessary to use these drugs together, it is necessary to correctly adjust the dose. This issue should be resolved together with the attending physician.

Using Ultrafastin together with sodium valproate may lead to impaired platelet aggregation. In addition, it is possible to increase the content of nifedipine and verapamil in the blood plasma. The drug can lead to increased action of methotrexate. It is highly not recommended to use the gel together with acetylsalicylic acid. Ultrafastin does not accept alcohol consumption. Its effect on the body may increase.

Storage conditions

First of all, Ultrafastin should be stored away from light. The fact is that medicines can spoil under the influence of bright sunlight. Therefore, the best place is where it is dark. Another important storage condition is the exclusion of moisture. The fact is that many medicines can get wet. This will lead to their deterioration. Therefore, it is better to choose a dry place; the bathroom is definitely not the best option.

The tube must not be kept open. This will lead to absorption or evaporation of substances. A reaction with air may also occur. Therefore, the bottle must be constantly closed. Hermeticity is an important condition for any storage.

It is also necessary to maintain the optimal temperature. It is desirable that the gel be at room temperature, in a dark place that is not exposed to heat. For this product, the optimal temperature conditions are 15-25 degrees Celsius. Finally, the medicines should be kept away from children. This will protect them from using Ultrafastin.

Shelf life

You should never use an expired product. This can lead to poisoning. In most cases, the pharmacological effect weakens by the end of the expiration date. Therefore, using the gel will not give any result. Thus, the expiration date of this gel is 2 years. At the end of the specified period, it is worth getting rid of it.

It is advisable to conduct a revision of medications more often. This will allow you to promptly eliminate those drugs that should not be used under any circumstances. Expired gel is a combination of substances that have an unpredictable effect. They can cause serious harm to the human body.

Throughout the entire period, it is necessary to monitor the appearance of the gel. It should not change its consistency, color, or smell. If this happens, it means that the recommended storage conditions were not met, which led to the product spoiling. Therefore, it is imperative to monitor the condition of the gel. This is the only way to protect your own health.
