Recently, advertising has often begun to promote more and more new medicines to the masses. These include "Solpadein". What this drug is from, what are the indications and contraindications for its use, we will tell in the article.
About the drug
The tool appeared in our pharmacies relatively recently. It is produced in three forms: tablets, capsules and effervescent soluble tablets. Produced by the well-known pharmaceutical company in Spain, SmithKline Beecham.
This drug belongs to painkillers (analgesics). The difference between the remedy is as follows: "Solpadein" effervescent acts very quickly, which compares favorably with other means of a similar orientation.
Pleased with the wide spectrum of the drug. In his "jurisdiction" - the fight against headache, dental, postoperative and post-traumatic, menstrual pain. It has relatively few side effects and contraindications. The biggest disadvantage is perhaps the price of funds.
Composition
Efficiencydrug is due to its composition. However, Solpadein, whose application is quite simple and convenient, does not contain any rare or unusual components. Before us is a complex drug, consisting of several components. The main active ingredient is paracetamol, familiar to us from childhood, an analgesic and antipyretic. Has a slight anti-inflammatory effect.
The second component of the drug "Solpadein" (from what it is, we will describe in more detail below) is caffeine. This substance is known for its stimulating effect on the nervous system. Positive effects include the effect on the production of adrenaline and dopamine (substances that can reduce pain), a favorable, mobilizing effect on the muscles.
"Solpadeine" also contains a small amount of codeine phosphate - an analgesic narcotic substance with a strong analgesic effect.
All components together act on the central nervous system, eliminate spasm, minimize pain and discomfort after injuries and operations.
Tablets "Solpadein". Instruction
The drug should be taken only as directed or after consulting a doctor.
The maximum daily dose for an adult is eight capsules. Use for more than three days must be discussed with a specialist.
The drug, depending on the form of release, is taken in capsules or dissolved in warm water, juice. For intense painit is recommended to drink one to two capsules every four hours.
"Solpadein" from what helps?
Let's move on to the main question. From what, in what cases is it recommended to use Solpadein to get rid of pain?
Recommended for:
Headache of various etiologies (including migraine).
Neuralgia, lumbago and sciatica.
Back pain of any origin.
Toothache (with inflammatory processes, during treatment, after tooth extraction and other manipulations in the oral cavity).
Severe pain in the joints and muscles (with arthritis and arthrosis, trauma, inflammation and in the postoperative period).
Periodic pain in women.
The tool is effective and fast. But do not forget that its purpose of use is not treatment, but getting rid of pain. If they are so intense that a person needs a pain reliever, a doctor's consultation is necessary. "Solpadein" (effervescent tablets, capsules or regular tablets - choose the form together with a specialist) will relieve you of discomfort, but not of the disease itself.
Indication for use
Most of the cases where the drug will help, we have listed above. Sometimes the remedy is mistakenly used for fever and temperature. This is not entirely advisable, since in this case the usual "Paracetamol" would do just fine, which, most likely, is inevery first aid kit. "Solpadein" from what helps it was considered.
Contraindications. Who should not "Solpadein"
Means, like any other, has a number of contraindications. Among them are the following:
You are not shown Solpadeine if you have a history of an allergic reaction to opium analgesics.
If there was a previous head injury and/or increased intracranial pressure.
For severe disorders of the kidneys and liver.
Thrombosis and thrombophlebitis.
Asthma or a tendency to bronchospasm.
Diseases of the cardiovascular system, including heart failure and coronary heart disease.
Diabetes mellitus and hyperthyroidism.

The drug is also contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation and in elderly patients.
It is not safe to use "Solpadein" (effervescent tablets, the use of which, like capsules, can be harmful to he alth, should not be taken without a doctor's recommendation) with a single use of alcohol or alcoholism. Any amount of alcohol drunk is equally dangerous.
Special instructions. What to look out for
As we remember from the instructions above, Solpadein contains high doses of caffeine. This means that the drug will be contraindicated for ardent "coffee lovers" who cannot imagine their life withoutseveral cups of strong coffee a day. As you understand, the amount of caffeine in the body of a person who consumes a lot of this invigorating drink is already quite high. Taking "Solpadein" in this case can cause a serious overdose of caffeine, the mildest consequences of which will be insomnia, palpitations, a feeling of unreasonable anxiety and depression.
One more note: do not forget that a significant amount of caffeine is found not only in coffee, but also in tea, including green varieties of this drink.
It is unacceptable when taking "Solpadein" the use of any, even weak alcohol. It is also worth remembering that the drug contains a high dose of paracetamol, so it is not recommended to combine these drugs.
Side effects
As with any drug, side effects may occur when using the drug.
From the side of the cardiovascular system, these are tachycardia and arrhythmia; the gastrointestinal tract may respond to the reception of "Solpadein" with nausea and the urge to vomit, discomfort in the epigastric region, with prolonged use - constipation.
There is a possibility of allergic reactions from the skin, such as itching, rash, urticaria, etc. In very rare cases, angioedema is recorded. It is also worth considering that with prolonged use of the drug, its toxic effect on the liver increases. The consequences may be an increase in liver enzymes, severe vomiting and sensations of pain and heaviness inright side. Treatment in these cases involves stopping the medication and eliminating the symptoms.
When using barbiturates (sedative drugs, the most famous of which are Valocordin, Nitrazepam) and Rifampicin, the effect on the liver increases significantly. It is worth being very careful when combining these drugs with the one we are considering.
Solpadeine and cough
Another feature of the drug is that it can save you from a severe cough. Codeine has a strong effect on cough centers and is able to stop and stop severe bouts of residual cough after bronchitis or SARS. However, it is worth remembering that the drug is by no means a panacea in the treatment of cough! It only removes unpleasant symptoms in case of urgent need (for example, during a scheduled lecture or meeting). Treatment should be prescribed by a doctor, based on the history and tests received.
