Zinaksin is used to treat diseases associated with the musculoskeletal system.
Indications Zinaksina
It is used to eliminate stiffness and pain in the joints caused by the development of osteochondrosis or osteoarthritis (as an element of a combined treatment course).
Release form
The release occurs in capsules, in the amount of 30 pieces inside a blister pack. A separate pack contains 1-2 such blisters.
Pharmacodynamics
The effect of the active components contained in the drug is achieved by slowing down the elements of COX and 5-lipoxygenase, and in addition to this, reducing the negative impact of the increased tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). As a result, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects develop, which persist for a long time.
Dosing and administration
The dosage and regimen for adolescents aged 12 years and older and adults is 1 capsule twice a day with food. In this case, the medicine must be washed down with water. The treatment course usually lasts for 6-12 weeks.
