Next: will eliminate any pain

Compatibility of Next and alcohol

? During treatment with Next, alcohol consumption is not recommended. This is due to the negative reaction of the active components of the drug when interacting with ethyl alcohol.

Paracetamol and Ibuprofen, which are part of the drug, taken together with alcohol cause the following consequences:

1. Depressant effect on the liver, gastrointestinal tract.
2. Development of acute pancreatitis.
3. Reduced antipyretic effect.
4. An increase in the amount of toxins, which leads to severe intoxication of the body.

Ethanol constricts blood vessels, while the drug dilates them. The opposite effect is reflected by a sharp deterioration in general health.

How Next works

The pharmacological activity of the drug is determined by the medicinal substances it contains. The combined use of paracetamol and ibuprofen gives a more effective and long-lasting result than either alone.

• Paracetamol is a non-steroidal analgesic with pronounced antipyretic properties. In the body, it suppresses the activity of specific receptors in the central nervous system, affecting the functioning of thermoregulation centers and susceptibility to pain.
• Ibuprofen also has an analgesic effect and is more effective as an anti-inflammatory agent.

The complex therapeutic activity of Next ensures the elimination of pain and fever within 15–30 minutes after taking the capsules. The drug shell quickly dissolves in the gastrointestinal tract, analgesics are adsorbed into the bloodstream within a few minutes. The analgesic and antipyretic effect of the drug lasts up to 5–8 hours. Metabolites of the drug are bound by bile acids and are completely excreted from the body by the kidneys within 10–12 hours.

Brief characteristics of the drug

This is a combined analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic drug. The main active ingredients are Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. They provide rapid therapeutic action and create an analgesic effect. The drug has a wide range of action and is often prescribed to relieve pain in any area.

The drug is available only in tablet form.

The main indications for its use are:

• headache of any etiology, migraine;
• acute toothache;
• painful menstruation;
• bruise, inflammation;
• dislocation;
• joint pain;
• neuralgia;
• myalgia;
• feverish state due to colds, flu;
• post-traumatic state;
• pain during the postoperative recovery period;
• inflammation of the musculoskeletal system;
• backache.

To achieve an analgesic effect, the drug is used for no more than five days, to reduce fever - no more than three days in a row. Exceeding the dose is fraught with dangerous consequences. Only a doctor under his strict supervision can authorize the continuation of taking the medicine.

Contraindications for taking the drug:

• individual intolerance to individual components;
• erosion, gastric ulcers in aggravated form;
• blood clotting disorder;
• pregnancy in the third trimester;
• internal bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract;
• renal, liver failure;
• bronchial asthma;
• hyperkalemia.

Treatment with the drug is not recommended for children under 12 years of age or during breastfeeding.

When is Next shown?

The combination drug copes with severe pain symptoms much better than other NSAIDs. Including:

• with migraine;
• neuralgia;
• muscle pain that develops as a result of injuries, infectious pathologies, inflammatory processes;
• with pain syndrome due to damage, inflammation of ligaments and joints: with sprains, fractures, exacerbations of arthritis, with degenerative processes in the hard tissues of the joints;
• with toothache;
• with lumbago;
• with painful menstruation and PMS pain.

Next improves the condition of patients during the postoperative recovery period. It is recommended for use in acute respiratory and other types of infections accompanied by fever, physical malaise, chills, headaches and other signs of fever.

Consequences of drinking alcohol

Alcohol enhances the effect of the drug, which leads to a change in its therapeutic focus. The severity of side effects from taking the medication increases significantly.

Symptoms:

• headache;
• migraine;
• state of anxiety;
• restless sleep;
• depression;
• tachycardia;
• heart failure;
• increased blood pressure;
• dyspnea;
• bronchospasm;
• bowel dysfunction: diarrhea or constipation;
• nausea with vomiting;
• heartburn;
• loss of appetite;
• angioedema;
• allergic rhinitis;
• acute renal failure;
• tinnitus;
• visual impairment;
• cystitis;
• skin itching;
• rashes;
• pancytopenia;
• anemia.

Both the drug itself and alcohol affect all systems of the body, and in combination they enhance their inhibitory effect. When identifying the first side effects, you need to consult a doctor.

Side effects

When using the product, undesirable reactions of the body are possible:

• dry mouth, nausea, heartburn, heaviness in the epigastrium, intestinal upset;
• tachycardia;
• changes in laboratory blood parameters, increase in leukocytes, liver tests;
• dizziness, insomnia, muscle weakness, tinnitus;
• decreased amount of urine;
• blurred vision.

Possible signs of an intolerance reaction: itching, redness, rash, conjunctivitis, swelling of the mucous membranes.

When can you drink alcohol if you are taking or have taken the drug?

Completing an analgesic intake does not indicate that it is safe to drink alcohol. Metabolites of the drug continue to remain in the body for some time, and when ethanol toxins are ingested, they can provoke unpleasant consequences.

To ensure that there is no possibility of interaction between both substances, it is recommended to wait until the drug is completely eliminated.

For men, this period is eighteen hours, for women it is increased to one day from the moment of taking the last pill.

Organs affected by the toxin

The combined use of pharmacological agents and alcohol has a toxic effect on the internal organs and environments of the body. Alcohol, entering into a chemical reaction with a medicine, leads to poisoning, disrupts physiological processes, enhances or weakens the healing properties of drugs.

The liver suffers more than other organs. She gets hit twice. Many medications have a side effect - hepatotoxicity, destroy cells, and disrupt the physiology of the organ. In the liver, alcohol breaks down to ethanal, a substance 20-30 times more toxic than ethanol, which causes the death of hepatocytes.

Dangerous groups of drugs for the organ in combination with alcohol:

• anti-inflammatory;
• hormonal;
• antibacterial;
• antifungal;
• glucose control agents for diabetes mellitus;
• anti-tuberculosis;
• cytostatics (chemotherapy drugs);
• tranquilizers (anti-epileptic, psychotropic).

In second place among the internal organs exposed to the harmful effects of alcohol together with medications are the heart and vascular system. Strong drinks during drug therapy constrict blood vessels and increase blood pressure. The simultaneous intake of alcohol and chemical substances leads to failure of the myocardium and increases the risk of developing an attack of angina pectoris and a heart attack.

A mixture of ethanol and pharmaceuticals disrupts the quality of the blood and reduces clotting. This is dangerous due to internal bleeding and strokes.

Pharmacological properties: Pharmacodynamics:
Combined drug, has an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect. Paracetamol is a non-narcotic analgesic, has an antipyretic and analgesic effect due to the blockade of cyclooxygenase in the central nervous system and its effect on the centers of pain and thermoregulation. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects associated with non-selective suppression of the activity of cyclooxygenase, which regulates the synthesis of prostaglandins. The components of the drug affect both the central and peripheral mechanisms of pain syndrome formation. The targeted, complementary action of the two components has a rapid therapeutic effect and a pronounced analgesic effect.

Pharmacokinetics:

Paracetamol Absorption - high, maximum concentration (Cmax) is 5 - 20 mcg / ml, time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax) - 0.5 - 2 hours;
connection with plasma proteins – 15%. Penetrates the blood-brain barrier. Metabolized in the liver by glucuronidation, sulfation and hydroxylation, with the formation of both active and inactive metabolites. The isoenzyme of the cytochrome P450 system CYP2E1 takes part in the metabolism of paracetamol. Half-life (T​ 1/2​) – 1​ –​ 4 hours. It is predominantly excreted by the kidneys in the form of metabolites - glucuronides and sulfates, 3% - unchanged. Ibuprofen is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Time to reach maximum concentration (T​max​) when taken on an empty stomach - 45 minutes, when taken after a meal - 1.5 - ​2.5 hours. Communication with plasma proteins - 90%. The concentration of the drug in the synovial fluid exceeds the content in plasma. Subject to presystemic and postsystemic metabolism in the liver. The cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP2C9 is involved in the metabolism of ibuprofen. It has two-phase excretion kinetics, T1/2 is equal to 2 – 2.5 hours. It is excreted by the kidneys (no more than 1%) unchanged and, to a lesser extent, with bile. Indications for use:

• headache (including migraine);
• toothache;

Sense organs: very rarely - hearing impairment, ringing or noise in the ears, visual impairment, blurred vision or diplopia, frequency unknown - dryness and irritation of the eyes. From the urinary system: very rarely - acute renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, cystitis; frequency unknown - polyuria. Allergic reactions: uncommon - skin rash, itching, allergic rhinitis, angioedema; very rarely - exudative erythema multiforme (including Stevens-Johnson syndrome), toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell's syndrome). From the hematopoietic organs: very rarely - anemia, thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic purpura, agranulocytosis, leukopenia, eosinophilia. From the skin and subcutaneous tissues: often – hyperhidrosis. With long-term use in large doses - hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic effects (hepatitis, interstitial nephritis and papillary necrosis); hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, methemoglobinemia, pancytopenia. If side effects occur, you should consult a doctor.
Overdose:

Symptoms: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, agitation or lethargy, drowsiness, confusion, tachycardia, arrhythmia, acute renal failure, metabolic acidosis, frequent urination, pyrexia, headache, tremor or muscle twitching; increased activity of “liver” transaminases, increased prothrombin time. If you suspect an overdose, you should immediately seek medical help. Treatment: gastric lavage, followed by the administration of activated charcoal; alkaline drinking, forced diuresis, symptomatic therapy, administration of sulfhydryl group donors (acetylcysteine) and precursors for glutathione synthesis (methionine).

Interaction with other drugs:

Inducers of microsomal oxidation in the liver (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, flumecinol, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants) increase the production of hydroxylated active metabolites, which makes it possible to develop severe intoxication in case of overdose. Inhibitors of microsomal oxidation (including cimetidine) reduce the risk of hepatotoxicity. Myelotoxic drugs increase the manifestations of hematotoxicity of the drug. Cyclosporine and gold preparations increase the nephrotoxicity of the drug. The combination of ibuprofen with ethanol and glucocorticosteroids increases the risk of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Concomitant use of paracetamol with ethanol increases the risk of acute pancreatitis. Paracetamol and ibuprofen enhance the effect of indirect anticoagulants and reduce the effectiveness of uricosuric drugs. Long-term use of barbiturates reduces the effectiveness of paracetamol. Diflunisal increases the plasma concentration of paracetamol by 50%, which increases the risk of hepatotoxicity. Ibuprofen reduces the hypotensive activity of vasodilators, natriuretic and diuretic - furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide. Antacids and cholestyramine reduce the absorption of ibuprofen. Caffeine increases the analgesic effect of ibuprofen. Ibuprofen enhances the effect of oral hypoglycemic agents and insulin. Ibuprofen increases the blood concentration of digoxin, lithium and methotrexate. When administered simultaneously with acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen reduces its anti-inflammatory and antiplatelet effect. Cefamandole, cefaperazone, cefotetan, valproic acid, plicamycin increase the incidence of hypoprothrombinemia.

Special instructions:

The simultaneous use of the drug with other drugs containing paracetamol and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided. When used simultaneously with indirect anticoagulants, monitoring of hemostasis is necessary. When using the drug for more than 5 - 7 days, peripheral blood counts and the functional state of the liver should be monitored. Paracetamol distorts the results of laboratory tests of glucose and uric acid in blood plasma. If symptoms of NSAID gastropathy appear (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, heartburn, loss of appetite, flatulence, epigastric discomfort), careful monitoring is indicated, including esophagogastroduodenoscopy, a blood test to determine hemoglobin and hematocrit, and a stool test for occult blood. If it is necessary to determine 17-ketosteroids, the drug should be discontinued 48 hours before the study. During the treatment period, drinking alcohol-containing drinks is not recommended.

Rules for taking medications and alcohol

Drinking alcohol during treatment minimizes the clinical effect of therapy and creates a risk of developing complications of the disease.

If this cannot be avoided, follow the rules of behavior that will reduce the occurrence of negative consequences:

1. Do not drink strong drinks (vodka, cognac, whiskey), choose dry wine (100-150 ml), beer (no more than 300 ml). Don't drink alcohol on an empty stomach.
2. The interval between taking the medicine and alcohol should be at least 2 hours.
3. To reduce the toxic effect, take medications that protect the liver (hepatoprotectors), pancreas (pancreatin), and stomach (antacids ─ Rennie, Almagel).

If a person takes antiviral medications for colds, anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol in moderation does not pose a threat to the body.

Alcoholic drinks during treatment are strictly contraindicated in cases of liver cirrhosis, severe infectious diseases, and during a course of chemotherapy.

How to use Next: instructions

Capsules of the drug can be taken occasionally: when sudden pain develops. If the unpleasant symptom goes away quickly, there is no need to continue drinking Next. In other cases, it is recommended to take 1 capsule 2-3 times a day:

• The pills must be swallowed whole with plain water;
• Desirable time: 1 hour after eating;
• maximum course of daily use: no more than 5 days.

For adults, the maximum daily dose of the drug is 3 capsules. Adolescents 12–17 years old whose body weight does not exceed 50 kg are allowed to take no more than 2 capsules per day. During the treatment period, people with chronic health problems should monitor their physical condition and take a biochemical blood test.

Next cannot be combined with other NSAIDs, including drugs that contain ibuprofen or paracetamol. Simultaneous therapy with anticoagulants, glucocorticoids, and barbiturates is also undesirable. The product should not be taken while intoxicated or hangover; ethanol greatly increases the risk of intoxication.

After taking Next, you should stop driving and using other equipment, since the speed of motor reactions under the influence of NSAIDs may decrease.

Medicines, alcohol and chronic diseases

If a person has chronic diseases, simultaneous use of alcohol and medications is potentially dangerous for the functioning of vital organs. Since patients systematically take prescribed medications, the influence of alcohol can lead to negative consequences.

People with chronic heart disease (angina pectoris, heart defects) develop arrhythmias of varying severity. Heart attacks with severe pain syndrome develop, which is not relieved by Nitroglycerin, and the risk of developing myocardial infarction increases significantly.

In case of chronic liver diseases (viral hepatitis, hepatosis), alcohol during treatment can become a trigger in the development of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (cancer).

Drinking alcohol during cirrhosis leads to the following consequences:

• bleeding into the abdominal cavity;
• liver decomposition, infection, peritonitis;
• hepatic coma;
• death.

If a person is on long-term treatment with sedatives, psychotropic drugs, tranquilizers, he is contraindicated in drinking alcohol. This leads to severe depression and the appearance of obsessive states (hallucinations, phobias). Suicidal feelings develop. Such a patient needs constant monitoring and assistance from a psychiatrist.

The most dangerous combinations and consequences

The combination of alcohol and chemical-based drugs can lead to serious disorders in the body, and in some cases to fatal consequences.
