Propionic acid salt, which refers to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs – reduces inflammation, has analgesic and antipyretic effects.
Sertofen Pharmacodynamics
As a result of the action of Sertofen, the formation of prostaglandins, thromboxanes and prostacyclin is inhibited. Reducing the amount of these inflammatory mediators contributes to the inhibition of others – kinins.
Dexketoprofen trometamol has an analgesic effect by inhibiting the activity of COX 1 and COX 2. The analgesic ability of the substance was studied at varying degrees of severity of pain during operations, colic in the kidneys and acute pain in the lower back. With the introduction of 1 ampoule of the drug after 45 minutes, the peak concentration was reached and the duration of the effect lasted up to eight hours. The use of Sertofen in conjunction with the intake of opiates can significantly reduce their dose in the postoperative period.

After the / m introduction of 1 ampoule, the maximum concentration of the drug in the blood is reached on average from 10 to 45 minutes. It has been proven that the drug does not have a cumulative effect. The half-life is 1–2.7 hours. Dexketoprofen trometamol is excreted from the body mainly with the help of the kidneys.
