Indications for the use of Spasmalgon
The drug is available in the form of white round tablets and injectable liquid. In both cases, the main indication is a weak or moderate pain syndrome of a different nature. Let's consider in more detail
Spasmalgon with monthly (primary or secondary dysmenorrhea)
In this case, it is recommended to use a medicine in the form of tablets. Pain relief is quick enough. The use of spasmalgon for pain with menstruation should be limited to two tablets per day, with a difference between repeated doses of not less than four hours.
Spasmalgon with toothache
If the character of the pain in the teeth is inflammatory or infectious, it makes sense to perform short-term therapy with spasmalgon. In severe pain, it is recommended to take 1-2 tablets up to 3 times in knocking.
In the case when toothache is not caused by the development of the inflammatory process in the oral cavity, Spazmalgon's treatment will not have a tangible effect.
Spasmalgon for abdominal pain
Intestinal colic and stomach pain, which are caused by spasms of smooth muscles, are quickly eliminated after taking Spazmalgon due to its anti-spasmolytic effect. Also, the drug is indicated for pain during exacerbation of biliary dyskinesia and urolithiasis.
