Novigan - action
Novigan tablets are quickly absorbed and display their therapeutic effect one to two hours after ingestion. After a day, the drug is completely removed from the body - mainly through the urinary system. Novigan operates, indications for the application of which are different types of pain, due to the properties of each of the active substances separately and due to their interaction, which enhances the overall effect. Let's consider what these components represent and how these components affect the pain sensations:
- Ibuprofen (400 mg) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory substance, a derivative of phenylpropionic acid. By suppressing the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (hormone-like substances, which at the biochemical level are the cause of pain), there is a reduction in pain, as well as a decrease in inflammation, swelling, and fever.
- Pitophenone hydrochloride (5 mg) is a compound that directly affects the spasms of the smooth muscle tissues of the internal organs, eliminating spasm. Muscle tension, which provokes the contraction of blood vessels and nerve fibers, often causes intense painful sensations that recede in the event of relaxation.
- Fenpiverinia bromide (0.1 mg) - this component belongs to the group of m-holinoblokiruyuschih funds that "disconnect" the receptors of internal organs that react to the mediator of nervous excitation of acetylcholine. Due to this, a decrease in the tone of smooth muscles and a reduction in pain syndrome are achieved.
What helps Novigan?
Novigan, the indications for use of which are listed in the attached instructions, is recommended for moderate and low intensity pains, and with respect to debilitating, intolerable pain syndrome, it will not show the proper effect. Consider what Novigan has:
- pain associated with spasm of smooth muscles of the internal organs - kidneys, liver, intestines , gallbladder and bile ducts, etc .;
- spastic pain syndrome with dysmenorrhea;
- pain in the head of a different origin, including migraines ;
- pain in the joints, lower back, nerves, skeletal muscles (as a short-term anesthetic therapy).
The above symptoms are basic for the purpose of this anesthetic and in most cases are successfully eliminated when taking a standard dosage. On the instructions of the attending physician Novigan can be used in some other pathological situations associated with painful sensations not mentioned in the insert-instructions.
How to take Novigan?

Longer use of these tablets is permissible only under the supervision of specialists and with the performance of certain analyzes.
Novigan from toothache
Pain caused by damage to the dental tissues or gums causes great discomfort, so it should stop in time. This is an acceptable solution in the case when there is no possibility to immediately consult a dentist. The drug Novigan from toothache helps effectively, but the analgesic effect is manifested due to one component - ibuprofen.
The other two active components of the drug, affecting the spasms of muscle tissue, in this case do not help. Therefore, it is more rational to take other single-component tablets with ibuprofen from toothache, but if there is nothing else at hand, it is better to use Novigan. In this case, the use of an analgesic is recommended to combine with the use of a local antiseptic for the oral cavity.
