INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.

PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT

Spasmoanalgesic.
Combined drug, the effect of which is due to its constituent components.
Paracetamol has an analgesic and antipyretic effect mainly by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the central nervous system, and, to a lesser extent, by peripheral action, blocking of prostaglandins and other active substances that stimulate pain receptors.

Drotaverine is an isoquinoline derivative, has an antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle due to inhibition of phosphodiesterase 4, an increase in the concentration of cAMP, which inactivating the myosinkinase leads to a relaxation of smooth muscle.
Also drotaverine has a weak inhibitory effect on calmodulin-dependent calcium channels. Regardless of the type of autonomic innervation, drotaverin is effective in spasms of smooth muscles. It acts on smooth muscles, which are in the vascular, gastrointestinal, biliary and urogenital systems (the content of phosphodiesterase 4 in different tissues is different).
Codeine, an antitussive drug of central action that also has an analgesic effect through interaction with opioid receptors involved in the transmission of painful impulses to the central nervous system, potentiates the analgesic effect of paracetamol.

PHARMACOKINETICS

Suction and distribution

After taking the drug inside, paracetamol is quickly absorbed from the digestive tract, distributed in most organs and tissues of the body.

Codeine is rapidly absorbed into the digestive tract, distributed to most organs and tissues, mainly to the parenchymal organs (liver, spleen, kidneys).

Penetrates through the BBB, the placental barrier, excreted in breast milk.

Metabolism and excretion

Paracetamol is metabolized predominantly by conjugation followed by excretion in the urine.
T 1/2 of paracetamol is between 1.25 and 3 hours. About 85% of the dose is excreted within 24 hours.
T 1/2 of codeine - about 2.9 hours. It is excreted mainly with urine.
About 90% of the dose is excreted within 24 hours.

With caution apply the drug in patients with constitutional hyperbilirubinemia (Gilbert's syndrome), in elderly patients.

PREGNANCY AND LACTATION

The use of Yunispaz during pregnancy and during lactation is contraindicated.

APPLICATION FOR FUNCTIONS OF THE LIVER

In case of renal insufficiency, the dose should be set individually.

Contraindicated use of the drug for severe renal failure.

APPLICATION FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE FUNCTION OF KIDNEYS

In case of hepatic insufficiency, the dose should be set individually.

Contraindicated use of the drug for severe hepatic failure.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

When using the drug, the patient should exclude the use of alcohol.

In case of renal and hepatic insufficiency, the dose should be set individually.

When the drug is used for more than 3 days and / or at high doses, it is necessary to monitor the picture of peripheral blood and the functional state of the liver (number of leukocytes, platelets, creatinine level and activity of liver enzymes in blood plasma).
Clinical symptoms of hepatotoxic effect begin to appear within 48-72 hours after application of the drug in high doses.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

The question of the possibility of engaging in activities requiring an increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions should be addressed after assessing the patient's individual response to the drug.

OVERDOSE

Symptoms: nausea, vomiting, circulatory disorders, respiratory depression, toxic liver damage (up to necrosis).

Treatment: gastric lavage, saline laxatives.
In severe central nervous system damage, ventilation, oxygen supply, and naloxone may be necessary to monitor the condition.
DRUG INTERACTION

Drotaverin reduces the action of levodopa, which makes it possible to increase tremor and rigidity.

When paracetamol is used together with drugs that induce the induction of liver enzymes (salicylamide, barbiturates, antiepileptics, tricyclic antidepressants, rifampicin, alcohol), the concentration of toxic metabolites of paracetamol increases.

When applying paracetamol simultaneously with chloramphenicol, the half-life of the latter increases and its toxicity increases.

Simultaneous use of paracetamol with doxorubicin increases the risk of liver function disorders.

Paracetamol reduces the effect of uricosuric drugs.

Metoclopramide and domperidone increase the absorption of paracetamol, and colestyramine decreases it.
With prolonged use of the drug, the risk of bleeding increases due to the presence of paracetamol.
Codeine increases the effect of hypnotics, analgesics and sedatives.
