Scientific Evidence:

Dexketoprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins that are involved in the inflammatory process and pain signaling.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of dexketoprofen in the management of acute pain conditions and chronic inflammatory disorders. A study by Lanas et al. (2009) compared the efficacy of dexketoprofen with other NSAIDs in the treatment of osteoarthritis and found it to be equally effective with a favorable gastrointestinal safety profile.

Additional Information:

• Adverse effects: Common side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, and dizziness. Seek medical attention if any serious allergic reactions occur.
• Storage: Store Dexalgyn at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
• Pregnancy and lactation: Consult a healthcare provider before using Dexalgyn during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
