pharmachologic effect
Gel and ointment Dolgit produces a local decongestant and analgesic effect.

The most pronounced analgesic effect is noted for pain that is inflammatory in nature. Under the influence of Dolgit, pain at rest and during movement decreases or completely disappears, morning stiffness decreases, as well as swelling of the joints, and range of motion increases.
Ibuprofen reduces platelet in the area of inflammation and the migration of leukocytes, as well as the release of lysosomal enzymes in this area.
Side effects
Most often, Dolgit is well tolerated by patients, but allergic reactions (redness, rash, swelling, burning sensation, itching), bronchospasms may occur. If the drug gets into the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to rinse and consult a doctor.
You should also pay attention to the fact that the ibuprofen content in the drug provides an analgesic effect, so pay attention to the simultaneous use of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can lead to adverse reactions.

Medicine and healthComment
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
After the cream or gel has been applied to the skin, ibuprofen penetrates into deep tissues - synovial fluid, joints, subcutaneous tissue, muscles. There therapeutic concentrations are achieved.
In the application area, the therapeutic effect is achieved through direct distribution through the skin into the tissue. A small amount of the active substance is determined in plasma. The effect of the drug is observed 15-30 minutes after the product has been applied. The effect continues for 3-4 hours after applying Dolgit cream or gel. If the product is applied to the joint area, the active component is absorbed into the synovial fluid, from where it enters the blood. It is excreted from the body in urine.
Description of the drug DOLGIT
With simultaneous use, ibuprofen reduces the effect of antihypertensive drugs (ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers), diuretics (furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide).
When used simultaneously with anticoagulants, their effect may be enhanced.
When used simultaneously with GCS, the risk of side effects from the gastrointestinal tract increases.
When used simultaneously, ibuprofen can displace indirect anticoagulants (acenocoumarol), hydantoin derivatives (phenytoin), and oral hypoglycemic drugs, sulfonylurea derivatives, from compounds with blood plasma proteins.
When used simultaneously with amlodipine, a slight decrease in the antihypertensive effect of amlodipine is possible; with acetylsalicylic acid - the concentration of ibuprofen in the blood plasma decreases; with baclofen - a case of increased toxic effects of baclofen has been described.
When used simultaneously with warfarin, an increase in bleeding time is possible; microhematuria and hematomas were also observed; with captopril - the antihypertensive effect of captopril may be reduced; with cholestyramine - a moderate decrease in the absorption of ibuprofen.
When used simultaneously with lithium carbonate, the concentration of lithium in the blood plasma increases.
When used simultaneously with magnesium hydroxide, the initial absorption of ibuprofen increases; with methotrexate - the toxicity of methotrexate increases.
The simultaneous use of NSAIDs and cardiac glycosides can lead to worsening heart failure, a decrease in glomerular filtration rate and an increase in the concentration of cardiac glycosides in the blood plasma.
There is evidence of the likelihood of an increase in the concentration of methotrexate in the blood plasma during the use of NSAIDs.
With simultaneous use of NSAIDs and cyclosporine, the risk of nephrotoxicity increases.
NSAIDs may reduce the effectiveness of mifepristone, so taking NSAIDs should be started no earlier than 8-12 days after stopping mifepristone.
Concomitant use of NSAIDs and tacrolimus may increase the risk of nephrotoxicity.
Concomitant use of NSAIDs and zidovudine may lead to increased hematotoxicity. There is evidence of an increased risk of hemarthrosis and hematomas in HIV-positive patients with hemophilia who received concomitant treatment with zidovudine and ibuprofen.
In patients receiving concomitant treatment with NSAIDs and quinolone antibiotics, the risk of seizures may increase.
In patients receiving concomitant NSAIDs and myelotoxic drugs, hematotoxicity increases.
With the simultaneous use of ibuprofen and cefamandole, cefoperazone, cefotetan, valproic acid, plicamycin, the incidence of hypoprothrombinemia increases.
With the simultaneous use of ibuprofen and drugs that block tubular secretion, there is a decrease in excretion and an increase in plasma concentration of ibuprofen.
With the simultaneous use of ibuprofen and inducers of microsomal oxidation (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants), there is an increase in the production of hydroxylated active metabolites and an increased risk of developing severe intoxications.
