The drug is prescribed as an antipyretic for infectious diseases and after vaccination, as well as in the fight against toothache.
Action tablets Imet
Imet inhibits the production of the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which negatively affects the metabolism of arachidonic acid. As a result, the synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, thromboxane and prostacyclin is reduced. Because of this in the focus of inflammation, the production of endogenous pyrogen, bradykinin and other bioactive substances is reduced. Ultimately, pain receptors begin to get irritated less, and the activity of inflammation subsides.
As for antipyretic action, ibuprofen is able to reduce the level of prostaglandins right at the center of thermoregulation in the hypothalamus, which allows you to bring down the temperature.
Mode of application
Adults and children over 15 years of age give Imet 0.5-1 tablets (this is 200-400 mg of the drug). It is desirable that there should be a break of at least 4 hours between meals. Over 1200 mg of medication per day can not be consumed, which corresponds to three tablets.
For children over 12 years, the maximum dose is 2500 mg.
