Sertofen tablets 25 mg No. 10

Sertofen tablets are used for the symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate pain, for example, musculoskeletal pain, painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea), and toothache.

Composition

The active substance is dexketoprofen (one film-coated tablet contains dexketoprofen (in the form of trometamol) 25 mg).

Excipients: microcrystalline cellulose (PH 101), microcrystalline cellulose (PH 102), corn starch, sodium starch glycolate (type A), glycerol distearate; film coating: Opadry white II 85F18422 (polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide (E 171), macrogol, talc).

Contraindication

Method of application

The drug is intended for oral use. The tablets should be swallowed with a sufficient amount of liquid (for example, a glass of water). Simultaneous food intake reduces the rate of absorption of the active substance, therefore, in case of acute pain, it is recommended to take the drug at least 30 minutes before a meal.

Adverse drug reactions can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time necessary to relieve symptoms.

The drug is not intended for long-term therapy; treatment continues as long as symptoms persist.

Adults: Depending on the type and intensity of pain, the recommended dose is 12.5 mg (½ film-coated tablet) every 4-6 hours or 25 mg (one tablet) every 8 hours. The daily dose should not exceed 75 mg.

Application features

Pregnant women

The drug can be used in the I and II trimesters of pregnancy only if absolutely necessary. When prescribing dexketoprofen in the I and II trimesters of pregnancy, the lowest possible effective dose should be used for the shortest possible duration of treatment.

Children

The safety and efficacy of dexketoprofen in children under the age of 18 have not been established. The drug should not be used in this category of patients.

Drivers
