Tsefekon D
Cefekon D is an antipyretic and analgesic agent in the form of suppositories for use in pediatrics. The administration of drugs into the rectum (rectal administration) has a number of advantages over the more common oral administration, and in some situations it is the only acceptable one (for vomiting, difficulty swallowing, the need for local therapeutic effects on the rectum and/or colon). In pediatrics, suppositories seem to be an indispensable dosage form, especially for the youngest children who have not yet learned to swallow a tablet or suspension on demand and are not old enough to receive injections. Aspects of rectal administration have been extensively studied by pharmacologists. Penetration of active substances into the circulatory system through the rectal mucosa through passive movement of the substance from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The rectum is penetrated by an extensive network of capillaries and larger vessels, and therefore pharmacological substances are well absorbed from its surface. It is important that substances absorbed in the lower rectum do not pass through the liver and are not subject to metabolic transformations. Rectal administration of drugs protects the gastrointestinal mucosa from local irritation. The Russian pharmaceutical industry produces a number of medicines in the form of rectal suppositories, among which Cefekon D occupies a prominent place. The active ingredient of the drug, paracetamol, is very widely used in pediatrics.
The peak concentration of paracetamol in the blood is observed 1 hour after rectal administration (when taking the tablet form this happens faster - after 30-45 minutes). In infants, the bioavailability of the drug is higher than in older children. The severity of the antipyretic effect of paracetamol when administered into the rectum is the same as when administered “per os”. Cefekon D is effective for influenza, acute respiratory infections, pain syndromes of various origins (including headaches, inflammation of peripheral nerves, toothache, injuries, etc.). The drug can be used in children starting from 6 months of age. At an earlier age (1-3 months), a one-time dose of Cefekon D is possible to reduce the temperature after preventive vaccinations. Contraindication to the use of the drug is individual intolerance to paracetamol. The optimal time of administration is after bowel movement. If prompt administration of the drug is necessary, you can do a cleansing enema instead of waiting for a bowel movement. The dose is calculated depending on the patient's body weight according to the table given in the package insert. Duration of the drug course: no more than three days when using the drug as an antipyretic and no more than five days when using the drug as a non-narcotic analgesic. Exceeding the established duration of pharmacotherapy is possible only in agreement with the doctor.
Candles for children Tsefekon - reviews

We have been using Cefikon for 4 years. But we take them after Nurofen. I got the hang of it, 7.5 Nurofen, half an hour later Tsefikon and only then the temperature drops. One without the other, unfortunately, doesn’t help at all. We tried many syrups, candles and this is one of all the options for 100% churning even at very high temperatures that worked. In addition to antiviral suppositories, we put Viferon and my son is recovering very quickly. In general, look for suitable options, consult with doctors, not the same thing suits everyone. But this is not the first time this drug has saved us!

Helps with a temperature no higher than 39. I try to use them after vaccination, or for a cold with an increase in temperature. For a more serious, long-term illness with prolonged fever (sore throat, bronchitis, etc.), paracetamol-based medications (Cefekon, among others) do not help my child. Just in case, I always keep a package of Cefekon at home; it is convenient that it can be used for a very small child when the temperature rises. It helps quite quickly and the child’s ventricle does not suffer as much.

We tried Tsefekon D suppositories for fever once and bought them again. I liked the product and it suited our little daughter.
The Cefekon D suppository is based on paracetamol, just like Panadol, Efferalgan and other analogues, but its price is much lower. The first purchase was like this - we didn’t have enough money at the pharmacy, and while my husband and I were thinking about what to give back, cough syrup or an antibiotic, the pharmacist suggested taking cheap candles and not giving anything away. There was just enough money for all the medications, and Tsefekon helped us out more than once.
Easy to use, like all suppositories for children. Cefekon acts quickly; after about half an hour, symptoms are relieved. We used them several times for ARVI, flu, sore throat, when cutting teeth, and they also helped.
A good remedy for fever for children, I recommend it. Inexpensive and effective. The only thing parents should pay attention to is that Cefekon has contraindications, like all medications, and intolerance or allergies may occur, so it is not advisable to use it without consulting a doctor.

When a child has a high temperature, this phenomenon is often accompanied by a sharp decrease in appetite, and even nausea. This is the best case scenario. It happened a couple of times that my daughter felt so bad that any food or drink just immediately came out and asked for it. In this case, it was pointless to give antipyretic drugs, even in the form of sweet syrup.
Previously, I used Efferalgan in the form of candles. But one day they ended at the wrong time. A neighbor who came in on business, seeing my condition (my husband was at work, there was no one to rush to the pharmacy, and my daughter had just successfully “returned” the entire tablespoon of syrup) ran and brought me these candles.
Of course, even though I was depressed, I looked at the instructions. Suitable for children from 1 month. Well, mine was already 2 years old at that time. I quickly lit the candle and took my daughter in my arms. She just seemed very hot to me. We sat like that for about ten minutes. During this time, I somehow even forgot that we lit a candle for her.
The child calmed down and became cooler to the touch. I quickly took the temperature - from 39.3 it dropped to 37.3. Although my daughter did not immediately become a “cucumber,” she already expressed a desire to play a little and asked for a drink. The effect was enough for us for almost 6 hours. But the second rise in temperature was already 38.7. They lit a candle again and went to bed. By morning the temperature was around 37.5. The daughter felt much better, drank buckets of lingonberry juice and moved briskly around the house.
It is very strange that our pediatrician never recommended this medicine to us. Although for the price and effect it is simply very remarkable. About 40-50 rubles per package. In general, thanks to my neighbor - then she just helped me out.
By the way, I was once tormented by a headache when the weather changed. There was nothing pain-relieving at home, so I lit this candle. The head just swings.

This summer my son started teething; he had none for a long time, but now he has 4 teeth all at once. The child was in a bad mood all the time, he was capricious and crying. But if during the day it was still possible to distract him with toys. it was very difficult at night. Three days later, the temperature also rose high. My godmother suggested this miracle cure for all my troubles.
These are rectal suppositories, 10 pieces (100 ml) in a package. They are sold in pharmacies, without a doctor’s prescription, and cost only 50 rubles. The active ingredient of the drug is paracetamol. Used in children from 3 months to 12 years. Repeated use is possible after 4-6 hours. 3 days can be used as an antipyretic and 5 days as an analgesic.
After the candle, our temperature dropped to normal within 30 minutes. For toothache we use it mainly before bedtime, and then the little one sleeps peacefully until the morning, waking up only to have a snack. An excellent product, not for regular use, but in extreme cases it helps very well.

Hello! I use Cefekon D in the form of rectal suppositories when children have a high temperature, namely above 38.5 C.
Why Cefekon D suppositories are convenient for me, first of all, because they are convenient to use for a small child. When your baby is dodging antipyretic syrups, candles are the way to go.
The candles are packaged in blisters that are easy to open and not too tight.
They help (at least my children) - not instantly, but after about an hour.
Recently the baby was teething and had a high temperature for 2-3 days, they brought it down with Cefekon D.
Since candles melt quickly at room temperature, you need to remove them from the refrigerator immediately before use. I think they are the best option for reducing high fever (of course, if prescribed by a doctor and following other recommendations).
General impression: Tsefekon suppositories are optimal for small children.

In the first year of her life, my daughter suffered from acute pyelonephritis. The temperature remained high, up to 40, and it was extremely difficult to bring it down. Antipyretics had to be given every 4 hours and alternated. After drinking antipyretic syrups for 2 days, it became extremely difficult to give them, I couldn’t even unclench my teeth. And then I bought Tsefekon D candles.
The suppositories are available in different dosages and can be used from 3 months. The candle itself is relatively small, about half the size of an adult candle. Putting it on is a matter of seconds.
The high temperature, 39-40 degrees, begins to decrease after 25-30 minutes. In our case, with pyelonephritis, the temperature dropped to 37 degrees. But here you can’t bring it down to normal. It returns to normal only after antibiotics.
The temperature drops below 38 degrees more quickly, in about 15 minutes and to normal. I put a candle after the vaccination. One candle was enough and we slept peacefully all night.
Works well. You definitely don’t have to run for 4 hours with a thermometer in your hand, there are minimal side effects and no negative effects on the stomach.
Now I always keep Cefekon D in the refrigerator. A very reliable drug.
General impression: Maintains normal temperature for 4-5 hours

When the child was only six months old, we got caught in the rain. As a result, the baby has a high temperature. I didn’t know how to knock her down. I called an ambulance, they said that there were no cars at the moment and recommended lowering the temperature with Tsefekon suppositories.
It’s good that it wasn’t at night, I ran out to the nearest pharmacy and bought it. Cefekon is sold at any pharmacy, it is well-known and widely distributed.
They didn’t tell us the dosage over the phone, so I had to calculate it myself. It’s good that everything is written in detail and clearly in the instructions. It is not always possible and time to gather a child, make an appointment with a doctor and get an appointment.
The baby’s temperature was under 40. He was six months old at that time, which means we needed, according to the instructions, 1 suppository of 100 mg.
The child did not even cry or scream; apparently, the temperature was very high, and the son did not even feel the unpleasant moment.
Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait long for the result. Half an hour later the temperature was already below 38 degrees, and soon dropped to 37.5. This couldn’t help but make me happy, because initially the temperature was about 40.
Since then, Tsefekon has always been in my mom’s home medicine cabinet. You never know - children often, for no apparent reason, have a fever in the middle of the night. In order not to go to the other end of the city to a 24-hour pharmacy, I always keep that reliable drug in stock.
I recommend to everyone.

A 5-year-old child had a temperature of 39 for four days, periodically dropping, but not subsiding. Just over the weekend... The doctor prescribed antibiotics. Then he rose to a little over 40, nothing helped, neither vinegar nor Nurofen (he had already vomited a couple of times from medicines). They called an ambulance, and just gave suppositories (they drove for a long time, and didn’t even give an injection...). The temperature began to drop safely, and gradually, quite quickly, but not sharply, what’s worse, fell completely. Very good candles! And it doesn’t spoil the stomach.

The best remedy for fever for children helps literally in 20-30 minutes. All the time when there was a need to bring down the temperature or alleviate the baby’s condition after vaccinations, I used only CEFEKON. But a pediatrician and almost! every pharmacist was always persuaded to try Nurofen. And what? The child got sick - the temperature rose to 39.6 - New Year's holidays, time 2 am, bought Nurofen-pharmacy at the pharmacy on Tuesday and said that it was better than Cefekon - did we wait 2!!! hours so that the child's temperature subsided.
Conclusion: CEFEKON HAS NEVER LETTED ME UP, THESE CANDLES HAVE NEVER HAPPENED SUCH PROBLEMS. THE MOST PROVEN REMEDY FOR PAIN AND TEMPERATURE!
Rectal suppositories Tsefekon in Belgorod pharmacies
Cefekon N is a combined drug that has analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. Naproxen and salicylamide are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), the mechanism of action of which is associated with inhibition of the synthesis of
prostaglandins and influence on the thermoregulation center in the hypothalamus.
Caffeine has a psychostimulant, analeptic and antispasmodic effect on
smooth muscles.
Indications for use
- as an analgesic for mild to moderate pain syndrome: neuralgia, myalgia, sciatica, lumbago; degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the musculoskeletal system (osteochondrosis, osteoarthritis); headache, toothache, migraine; dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation);
- as an antipyretic: febrile syndrome in colds, infectious, inflammatory diseases.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum (exacerbation phase), complete or incomplete combination of bronchial asthma, recurrent polyposis of the nose and paranasal sinuses and intolerance to acetylsalicylic acid or other NSAIDs (including a history), hypocoagulation, severe renal and/or liver failure, arterial hypertension, organic diseases of the cardiovascular system, heart failure, blood diseases, edema, pathology of the vestibular apparatus, increased excitability, insomnia, angle-closure glaucoma, children (up to 16 years), pregnancy, lactation.
Side effect
Allergic reactions, dizziness, agitation, drowsiness, slowing of psychomotor reactions, tinnitus, tachycardia, increased blood pressure, thrombocytopenia, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, impaired liver and/or kidney function; itching and pain in the rectum.
Interaction with other drugs
Naproxen reduces the hypotensive effect of beta-blockers. When used concomitantly, naproxen may cause a decrease in the diuretic effect of furosemide.
Naproxen increases the toxicity of phenytoin, sulfonamides, and methotrexate.
Salicylamide enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, fibrinolytics. Salicylamide increases the risk of developing side effects of glucocorticosteroids, mineralocorticosteroids, and estrogens when used together. With the simultaneous use of salicylamide with myelotoxic drugs, the risk of cerebral circulation depression (hematopoiesis) increases.
Caffeine accelerates absorption and enhances the effect of cardiac glycosides, increasing their toxicity. Concomitant use of caffeine with beta-blockers may lead to mutual suppression of therapeutic effects; with adrenergic bronchodilators - to additional stimulation of the central nervous system and other additive toxic effects.
special instructions
If itching or discomfort occurs in the rectum, you should stop using the drug and consult a doctor.
Impact on the ability to drive a car and operate machinery
No special studies have been conducted regarding the effect of the drug on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery.
During treatment, care should be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration, speed of psychomotor reactions and good vision.
CEFEKON N (suppositories)
oh contour packaging.
Mode of application.
You need to administer 1 suppository, 1/3 times. It all depends on the disease. Apply for 3-5 days. Five days as an anesthetic, and three days as an antipyretic. It is better to consult a doctor.
I used suppositories for up to 5 days, first 1 suppository, then half a suppository. Because this drug has one side effect: burning and itching, which appeared on the 2nd day of use, so I reduced the dosage. But I decided not to buy these candles for myself anymore. Then, later, I used the lagging suppositories in a smaller dosage. (half a battle).
How did you find out about this drug?
The doctor recommended that if the pain in the lower back is not severe, you can use any painkillers that suit you best. But apparently this is not my option, they didn’t quite fit. I bought these suppositories because of the low price. At that time, finance sang romances)). At that time the drug cost up to 100 rubles. Budget price.
Efficiency.
They helped me reduce my lower back pain. But this drug was not used for severe pain symptoms. If the pain is aching and constant for several days.
****** If the pain is severe, it is difficult to turn around and the pain radiates to the legs. When everything is really bad, I don’t numb the pain, but rather treat diseases. I go to the doctor and take treatment as prescribed by the doctor. Then just painkillers alone will not do, you need complex treatment. Here, as they say, all remedies (medicines) are good. Then I use a lot of drugs to improve my health. My little first aid kit in the fight for a healthy lower back. The drugs were taken at different times. In each individual case (back pain started) I use various medications. These are tablets (or capsules) from the Nurofen series, Voltaren ointments and others, vitamins, patches, so as not to constantly stuff your body with tablets; as an option, I once used the Cefekon N suppository, as well as the drug Amelotex (injection), which is effective for me. * A few words about the drug Cefekon D, which I still buy for children.
Yes, the drug is effective, not only as an analgesic, but also as an antipyretic. I also bought Cefekon D for children. It copes well with fever and helps out if you can’t give your child syrups. The Nurofen suppository can also be considered as an antipyretic. But the difference between the suppository Cefekon D and Nurofen is the price. I note that the child did not complain of discomfort, no side effects were found when using Cefekon D. These suppositories are still available, just in case. Effective drug, low price.
Cefekon N is a drug produced by a domestic manufacturer. Therefore, it is cheaper than similar drugs.
This drug, Cefekon N, has contraindications and side effects. The instructions contain quite a few contraindications.
Instructions.
Back side.
Pros.
1. An effective drug.
2. Budget price, up to 100 rubles.
3. Has less impact on the stomach if you use suppositories rather than tablets.
4. Contour cells open easily. Sometimes the suppository is sealed so tightly that it cannot be printed.))
Minuses.
Significant disadvantages for me:
1. Side effects appear over time.
2. Contraindications.
Not important for me:
1. Must be stored in the refrigerator.
2. Perhaps for some it will be a disadvantage that the method of application is rectal.
The drug helped, but I will no longer buy it for myself or for my children. yes. (Cefekon D).
I rate it as “satisfactory”, but the pain went away after use. Perhaps this drug simply did not suit me, and so the side effects appeared. But I will not recommend Cefekon N.
***And then see for yourself, everyone decides for themselves. Maybe for some this drug will be quite effective and without side effects.***
I don't recommend it.
