Description
Ketalgyn Long (Ketololac Tromethamine) Solution for Injections 30 mg/ml. 1ml. №10
Composition
The main active ingredient in Ketalgyn Long is Ketololac Tromethamine. Each 1ml solution contains 30 mg of Ketololac Tromethamine.
Mechanism of Action
Ketololac Tromethamine, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, thereby reducing inflammation, pain, and fever.
Pharmacological Properties
Ketololac Tromethamine exhibits analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. It acts by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase, thus preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins.
Indications for Use
Ketalgyn Long is indicated for the short-term management of moderate to severe acute pain that requires analgesia at the opioid level, typically in postoperative settings where opioid analgesia is needed.
Contraindications
- Patients with known hypersensitivity to Ketololac Tromethamine or other NSAIDs.
- Patients with active peptic ulcer disease, recent gastrointestinal bleeding, or perforation.
- Patients with a history of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Ketalgyn Long may include gastrointestinal disturbances, renal impairment, and hypersensitivity reactions. It is important to monitor for any adverse reactions during treatment.
Usage Instructions
Ketalgyn Long should be administered by a healthcare professional via intramuscular or intravenous injection. The recommended dosage is 30 mg, with adjustments based on the individual’s response to treatment and overall condition.
Benefits Compared to Analogues
Ketalgyn Long offers effective pain relief comparable to opioids but with a lower risk of opioid-related side effects such as respiratory depression and addiction. It provides a valuable alternative for managing acute pain without the potential drawbacks of traditional opioids.
Suitable Patient Groups
Ketalgyn Long is suitable for adult patients requiring short-term pain management postoperatively. It is not recommended for use in children, pregnant women, or elderly individuals with a history of gastrointestinal issues without careful evaluation by a healthcare provider.
