Acute pain: from today new even safer therapies

How many times have we happened to be away from home, traveling, abroad and mostly alone, and have sudden pains without the possibility of seeking the care of our doctor or family members? We are talking about the different forms of acute pain, such as that which accompanies renal colic, or that affects bones and muscles, as well as post-minor orthopedic or dental surgery operations.

Overcoming acute pain has now become simpler and even safer, thanks to a new subcutaneous formulation of diclofenac (the "famous" active ingredient of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - NSAIDs), available in small pre-filled syringes and also in different dosages . We are talking about a medicine that our treating doctor can prescribe and that presents an easy form of self-administration, practical and manageable independently.

Small pre-filled syringes, and at different dosages that overcome the problem of the "classic" intramuscular injections, where it was necessary to turn to someone able to do them. Not only that, thanks to the small size of the needle, similar to that used in vaccination for children, less pain and greater safety are also guaranteed. Not to mention the risk of tissue and nerve damage that intramuscular punctures often involve.

Therefore, we have at hand a precious remedy against numerous types of inflammatory pain: from that for traumas and osteo-articular and muscular pathologies, as well as headaches, renal colic and arthritis.

And to the advantage of self-administration is also added that of efficacy because, as Prof.Diego Fornasari, Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Milan, the new formulation of the drug allows you to do without taking the tablet which, although practical, has a less rapid action and can cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract.

Not only. Thanks to the availability of the low dosages with which the new product is presented on the market, it is possible to better customize the therapy, obtaining the same response against pain even using lower dosages.
