Description

Synalgo 100mg is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) tablet used to relieve pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with a range of conditions. Each pack contains 20 tablets, with every tablet delivering 100mg of the active compound Flurbiprofen. Flurbiprofen works by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are responsible for producing prostaglandins, the chemical messengers in the body that contribute to pain, swelling, and inflammation. By reducing prostaglandin production, Synalgo helps ease discomfort and improve mobility in conditions affecting the joints and muscles. It is commonly prescribed for arthritis-related pain as well as other short-term pain relief needs, and it is manufactured to consistent pharmaceutical quality standards.

Ingredients

Each Synalgo 100mg tablet contains Flurbiprofen, at a strength of 100mg per tablet, as its active pharmaceutical ingredient. The tablet also includes standard inactive excipients such as fillers, binding agents, disintegrants, and a lubricant, which support the tablet’s structure and consistent, reliable absorption.

Dosage Form

Synalgo 100mg is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 20 tablets. This pack size supports a course of short- to medium-term pain and inflammation management as directed by a physician.

Uses

Synalgo 100mg is used to relieve pain, joint stiffness, and swelling associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also used for general musculoskeletal pain such as back pain, muscle sprains, and minor injuries, as well as for dental pain, post-surgical discomfort, and menstrual cramps. The specific condition being treated and the appropriate duration of use should always be confirmed by a physician, particularly since NSAIDs are generally recommended for the shortest effective period.

How to Use

Synalgo tablets should be taken exactly as directed by a doctor, typically one tablet two to three times a day, or as prescribed based on the condition being treated. The tablet should always be taken after meals with a full glass of water, as taking it on an empty stomach can increase the risk of stomach irritation or ulcers. The maximum daily dose should not exceed what has been prescribed, generally not more than 300mg per day unless specifically advised otherwise by a doctor. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered, unless it is close to the time of the next dose, in which case the missed dose should be skipped rather than doubled.

Side Effects

Synalgo may cause side effects in some individuals, and any severe or persistent symptoms should be reported to a doctor. Commonly reported effects include nausea, indigestion, stomach pain, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and heartburn related to increased stomach acid. Some patients may also experience a mild increase in blood pressure during treatment. Less commonly, allergic reactions such as skin rash or itching may occur. Rare but serious effects can include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers, significant kidney or liver changes, or severe allergic reactions, and these require immediate medical attention. Anyone experiencing black or bloody stools, severe stomach pain, unexplained bruising, or signs of a severe allergic reaction should stop the medication and seek urgent medical care.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before taking Synalgo 100mg. NSAIDs like flurbiprofen are generally not recommended during certain stages of pregnancy, particularly in the later trimester, and their use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should only proceed under specific medical guidance.

Storage Instructions

Store Synalgo tablets at room temperature, in a dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use, and store the medicine out of the reach and sight of children. Do not use tablets beyond their printed expiry date, and dispose of any unused or expired medicine responsibly rather than through household waste.
