Butadione: descriptive instructions for tablets and ointments


Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with anti-inflammatory , analgesic and antipyretic effects. The action of Phenylbutazone is associated with the suppression of the activity of cyclooxygenases, as a result of which the synthesis of prostaglandins is inhibited. Strengthens the reabsorption of water and salts in the kidney tubules.

Butadione eliminates pain and reduces swelling during the inflammatory process. The therapeutic effect is expressed in reducing pain at rest and during movement, restoring joint mobility or increasing the range of motion in them. The anti-inflammatory effect of Butadione is superior to that of Amidopyrine . With gout, in addition to these effects, there is a 2-fold increase in urate excretion in the urine, as well as a decrease in their level in the blood.

Butadione has an effect on thrombophlebitis (hemorrhoidal veins and postoperative). This results in a reduction in pain and inflammation.

Pharmacokinetics

When applying the ointment, absorption is no more than 5%. Phenylbutazone is metabolized in the liver and excreted as metabolites by the kidneys and 1/4 through the intestines. Elimination from blood plasma is long - 70 hours, in elderly people 105 hours.

When taking tablets, absorption is high and bioavailability is 87-90%. The maximum concentration of the drug in the blood is after 1-2 hours. From the blood it passes into organs and tissues, penetrates into the cavities of the joints and through the blood-brain barrier.

Metabolized in the liver. The half-life is 19-24 hours. It is excreted by the kidneys and through the gastrointestinal tract.

Instructions for use

Butadione is a drug that has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic effects . Can be used externally and orally depending on the release form.

pharmachologic effect

A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug whose action is aimed at suppressing the activity of cyclooxygenases. This ensures inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Butadione eliminates swelling during the inflammatory process and also relieves pain.

A distinctive feature of Butadion therapy is the reduction of pain not only at rest, but also during movement . Thanks to this property, the range of motion of diseased joints increases.

For gout, the use of phenylbutazone increases the excretion of urate in the urinary fluid , which reduces its concentration in the blood.

For thrombophlebitis, the drug relieves the inflammatory process and relieves pain.

Release form, composition

Butadione is available in the form of ointments and tablets . The ointment has a thick, white consistency.


Butadione is available in two dosage forms

Tablets can enhance the effect of fibrinolytics, antiplatelet agents, and indirect anticoagulants .

With the parallel use of morphine, estrogens, penicillin, and glucocorticosteroids, the side effects from their use may increase.

Sulvonylurea derivatives, when taken in parallel with phenylbutazone, enhance their effect.

There is an increase in the production of active metabolites when Butadione is taken simultaneously with barbiturates, ethanol, phenytoin, rifampicin, tricyclic antidepressants.

Absorption of the drug is reduced when taking antacids and cholestyramine in parallel .

    Reviews about Butadion

    Analyzing reviews of the tablets, we can conclude that the drug is moderately effective. For example, for osteoarthritis, the drug was taken for 14 days without visible improvement. Due to the fact that most patients have complications from the blood and gastrointestinal tract, despite the fact that the effectiveness of the drug is average, doctors have recently recommended abandoning it.

    Butadion ointment is often used. Positive reviews of Butadione ointment are associated with its use for minor injuries, sprains of muscles, ligaments and tendons. In these conditions it is very effective and economical. An ointment is indispensable for pain and redness of the skin at the sites of vaccinations, injections or insect bites.

    For rheumatic joint diseases, the ointment is used as part of complex therapy, so it is impossible to evaluate its effectiveness.
