Dinastat may be administered intravenously or intramuscularly as a single dose, or as regular repeated injections or as needed. After the start of therapy, the dose should be adjusted depending on the patient's response. There is an experience of using the drug for 7 days.
Acute pain: The recommended single or initial dose is 40 mg for intravenous administration (iv) or intramuscular (IM), then, if necessary,you can continue to administer every 6-12 hours for 20-40 mg; while the daily dose should not exceed 80 mg. Intravenous bolus injection can be done quickly and directly into the vein, or into the tube of a pre-established system for intravenous infusions. In / m administration should be done slowly and deeply into the muscle.
For prevention or reduction of postoperative pain:
The recommended dose is 40 mg IV or IM (preferably IV), which is administered 45 to 30 minutes before surgery. To maintain analgesia, it may be necessary to repeat the postoperative administration of the drug, as described for the treatment of acute pain.
To reduce the need for opioid analgesics: Dinastat can
Use in combination with opioid analgesics according to the scheme described for the treatment of acute pain. The daily need for opioids is reduced by 20-40% in case of their simultaneous appointment. The optimal effect is achieved when Dynastat® is administered before the administration of opioids.
Elderly patients: Elderly patients are not required to adjust the dose. However, in older patients with a body weight of less than 50 kg, treatment should begin with the introduction of 1/2 the recommended dose; while the maximum daily dose should not exceed 40 mg.
Patients with hepatic impairment: Patients with a slight violation of liver function dose adjustments are usually not required. Patients with a moderate liver function disorder should be administered with caution, the administration should begin with 1/2 the recommended dose, and the maximum daily dose should be reduced to 40 mg. Experience with the use of dinastat in patients with severe liver damage is absent; because the appointment of the drug to such patients is not recommended.
Patients with impaired renal function: in patients with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance <30 ml / min) or with conditions,
predisposing to fluid retention in the body, parecoxib should be prescribed at the lowest recommended dose and carefully monitor the kidney function. Joint application with fluconazole: When combined with parecoxib with fluconazole, parecoxib should be administered at the lowest recommended dose.
Preparing the preparation for the introduction: Parecoxib sodium - lyophilizate, which does not contain preservatives, 1 ml (for vials of 20 mg) or 2 ml (for vials of 40 mg) of a solution of sodium chloride for injection (0.9%) is used to prepare a solution for injections.
The following solvents can also be used: 0.9% sterile sodium chloride solution, 5% dextrose (glucose) injection, 5% dextrose (glucose) solution with 0.45% sodium chloride for injection (solution, prepared with the use of these solvents, is isotonic).
The use of Lactate Ringer's (Hartman's) injectable solutions or Lactate Ringer's for injection with 5% dextrose (glucose) for the preparation of Dynastat® solution is not recommended, as this results in precipitation.
The use of sterile water for injection as a solvent is also not recommended, as the resulting solution will not be isotonic.
The prepared solution can not be cooled or frozen.
After dissolution, dinastat can be injected into the tubes of the IV infusion system containing the following solvents: sodium chloride solution for injection (0.9%), dextrose (glucose) injection solution (5%), Ringer's injection for injection, 5% Dextrose (glucose) solution with 0.45% sodium chloride.
The administration of Dynastat solution to IV infusion systems containing a solution of 5% dextrose (glucose) in Ringer's Lactate or others not listed here is not recommended, as this can cause precipitation.
Dinastat should not be mixed with other drugs.
