Katadolon Forte (Flupirtine, Flupirtinum) - non-narcotic analgesic agent. Flupirtine (Flupirtinum) is the prototype of a new class of substances SNEPCO ( «Selective Neuronal Potassium Channel Opener» - «selective neuronal potassium channel activators").

It refers to non-opioid analgesics central action without causing dependence and addiction.

Flupirtine has analgesic, muscle relaxant and neuroprotective effect based on indirect antagonism against NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) - receptor to activate downstream mechanisms in pain modulation and GABAergic processes.

At therapeutic concentrations, flupirtine does not bind to alpha 1 -, alfa2-, 5NT1, 5NT2-, dopamine, benzodiazepine, opiate, central muskarinergicheskimi or nikotinergicheskimi receptors.

Testimony:

For the treatment of acute and chronic pain caused by:

• muscle spasm,
• malignant neoplasms,
• dysmenorrhea,

With care prescribe a drug to patients with impaired liver and / or kidney disease, patients older than 65 years.

Special instructions:

In patients with reduced kidney function or liver should monitor the activity of liver enzymes and creatinine in the urine.

In patients older than 65 years or with pronounced signs of renal and / or hepatic impairment or hypoalbuminemia necessary to carry out the dose adjustment.

In the treatment of flupirtine possible false positive reactions with diagnostic test strips for bilirubin, urobilinogen and protein in urine. A similar reaction is possible in the quantitative determination of bilirubin in the blood plasma.

In applying the drug in high doses, in some cases there may be a urine stain in the color green, which is not a clinical sign of any disease.

Given that flupirtine can attenuate attention and slow responses of the body, it is recommended during treatment with refrain from driving and transport activities potentially hazardous activities that require high concentration and psychomotor speed reactions.
