Pain during menstruation is considered to be a fairly common complaint among patients of female consultations. There are many therapeutic ways to solve such a problem, and one of them is the intake of the MIG preparation at monthly intervals. The female organism reacts to menstruation with a serious restructuring of many organs and systems. However, not every medicine can be used by a woman during this period without compromising one's health.
Pharmacological characteristics of MIG
This anesthetic is represented in the pharmacy network called MIG 400, because theconductive substance is a drug commonly known ibuprofen.
The content of this substance in one MIG tablet is 400 mg, hence the name of the drug.The medical literature states that ibuprofen is based on propionic acid. It is able to strengthen the synthesis of prostaglandins, and this quality allows this drug to have a pronounced anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Among other things, the medicine in question perfectly lowers body temperature.
After getting the tablet into the stomach and intestine of the patient, ibuprofen enters the bloodstream and after 20-30 minutes completely binds to the blood proteins. This explains his rapid action on the removal of pain and inflammation.
The drug is excreted in the urine, so for patients with renal insufficiency the dose of the drug should be reduced. In addition, MIG 400, like other NSAIDs, blocks the operation of the blood coagulation system, increases the risk of bleeding. It is this property of the medicine that leads to the fact that doctors do not always recommend patients to use MIL from pain with menstruation.
Contraindications to the use of
Most contraindications for the use of MIG 400 in the event of painful periods are similar to the entire group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This includes:
- Given the effect of this drug on the blood coagulation system, this remedy can not be used in diseases of this system. Hemophilia, hypocoagulation, hemorrhagic diathesis and any bleeding make it impossible to use MIG 400.
- The second major group of contraindications experts consider any pathology of the gastrointestinal tract. Especially it is not necessary to prescribe this remedy for erosive gastritis, ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, ulcerative colitis.
- The medical literature notes the negative effect of ibuprofen on the optic nerve. MIG 400 is no exception. Any pathology associated with neurological problems in the eyes makes the intake of this medication extremely dangerous.
- Among other things, this drug is not recommended for women during pregnancy and lactation, children under 12 years.
- Various allergic individual reactions to MIG 400. Compared with other analgesics, croup of ibuprofen is characterized by a fairly low threshold of allergic activity, but individual intolerance is quite possible. At the first signs of the pathological reactions of the female body to treatment, medication should be stopped and seek medical help from a doctor.
