The most pronounced analgesic effect is noted for pain that is inflammatory in nature. Under the influence of Dolgit, pain at rest and during movement decreases or completely disappears, morning stiffness decreases, as well as swelling of the joints, and range of motion increases.
Ibuprofen reduces platelet in the area of inflammation and the migration of leukocytes, as well as the release of lysosomal enzymes in this area.
Side effects
Most often, Dolgit is well tolerated by patients, but allergic reactions (redness, rash, swelling, burning sensation, itching), bronchospasms may occur. If the drug gets into the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to rinse and consult a doctor.

The effect of the drug is observed 15-30 minutes after the product has been applied. The effect continues for 3-4 hours after applying Dolgit cream or gel. If the product is applied to the joint area, the active component is absorbed into the synovial fluid, from where it enters the blood. It is excreted from the body in urine.

Where does it hurt?
Inflammatory diseases of the musculoskeletal system, for example, arthritis, myositis, osteochondrosis, as well as injuries, including sports and household injuries, such as sprains or bruises, are often accompanied by severe pain and swelling. Therefore, complex therapy usually includes external non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in different release forms. Such drugs help relieve pain, and also help relieve swelling and erythema by suppressing the formation of prostaglandins - substances that contribute to the development of the inflammatory process1. Usually these are gels, ointments and creams, which differ from each other not only in the active substance, but also in the composition of the auxiliary components and the consistency of the base. Their use allows for maximum concentration of the drug in the area of application2.
To make ointments, chemically neutral, soft, fatty and dense substances that do not penetrate the skin well are used as a base. Creams have an emulsion base, lighter in consistency than ointment. Thanks to this, they leave only a slight fatty trace on the skin. Gels are gelatinous dosage forms produced on hydrophilic, that is, aqueous, bases3.
To determine which ointment or gel is better suited for use in a particular case, it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the damage. For example, ointments are used for chronic processes or when there is dryness, scales or crusts on the affected area. The fatty base of the ointment softens the stratum corneum, increasing its permeability to the active substance4. However, they are difficult to apply daily, as they leave a greasy and sticky residue on the surface that does not dry out.
Aertal® cream is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug based on aceclofenac, which has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The concentration of the active substance in it is 1.5%, while it is in the cream in micronized form. The base of Aertal® cream includes emulsion wax and liquid paraffin, as well as some other excipients.
Emulsion wax and liquid paraffin, which form the basis of Airtal® cream, are substances widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. They improve the consistency of the cream and facilitate uniform absorption of the active substance. At the same time, emulsion wax moisturizes and nourishes the skin, but does not leave a greasy mark on it5. This property allows you to use anti-inflammatory creams based on it daily. In addition, the cream, unlike the gel, allows you to retain the active substance in the painful area for a longer time.
When using Aertal® cream, aceclofenac practically does not enter the systemic circulation, and therefore the risk of systemic side effects, including on the gastrointestinal tract, is minimized6.
Airtal® cream should be applied to the painful area three times a day, using gentle massage movements. The application dose is determined by the size of the affected area, and it should be taken into account that 1.5–2 g of cream corresponds to a strip of 5–7 cm.
