Cream or gel Dolgit: how they differ and which is better

Dolgit is a medicinal product that is available in an easy-to-use form - in the form of gels and ointments. It allows you to quickly and permanently get rid of pain in the joints, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and additionally relieves swelling.

The medicine Dolgit is a remedy that doctors often recommend to their patients, but only in the presence of certain diseases. Following the doctor's recommendations when using the drug Dolgit allows you to restore joint mobility, significantly reduce pain during movement, and eliminate morning stiffness, which is known to many.

Compound

Dolgit cream for external use contains the active ingredient ibuprofen , and also contains additional components: medium chain triglycerides, propylene glycol, glyceryl monostearate, sodium methyl parahydroxybenzoate, macrogol 30 stearate, macrogol 100 stearate, lavender oil, orange flower oil, xanthan gum, water
Gel Dolgit contains the active substance ibuprofen , as well as additional components: dimethyl hydroxymethyl dioxolane (solketal), isopropanol, poloxamer, medium chain triglycerides, orange flower oil, lavender oil, water.

How Dolobene works

The substance is quickly absorbed through the stratum corneum and dermis upon application. The active ingredients reach the subcutaneous tissue, accelerate microcirculation and metabolic processes, and block the conductivity of pain receptors in the affected area. Heparin and dimethyl sulfoxide inhibit the activity of the enzyme Hyaluronidase, which supports inflammation. Dexpanthenol is converted into pantothenic acid, an analogue of a natural compound that regulates redox processes in tissues and accelerates their healing.

In the deep layers of the skin, subcutaneous tissue and joint structures, the active substances of the gel are concentrated 5–6 hours after application. With daily use of the medicine, their content in tissues increases. In this case, the therapeutic effect is local. The drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation in small quantities. Metabolites are excreted within 12–24 hours by the kidneys.

Release form

  • Dolgit cream 5% for external use is a homogeneous soft substance that has a white or creamy white tint and has a slight specific odor. Tubes of cream are sold in 20 g, 50 g and 100 g. The tube is sealed with a membrane and equipped with a plastic cap. One tube is placed in a cardboard box.

pharmachologic effect

Gel and ointment Dolgit produces a local decongestant and analgesic effect.

The product also provides an anti-inflammatory effect. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Under its influence, a non-selective blocking of COX-1 and COX-2 occurs, and an inhibitory effect on the synthesis of PGE2, prostacyclin (PGI2) and TxB2 is noted.

The most pronounced analgesic effect is noted for pain that is inflammatory in nature. Under the influence of Dolgit, pain at rest and during movement decreases or completely disappears, morning stiffness decreases, as well as swelling of the joints, and range of motion increases.

Ibuprofen reduces platelet in the area of ​​inflammation and the migration of leukocytes, as well as the release of lysosomal enzymes in this area.

Side effects

Most often, Dolgit is well tolerated by patients, but allergic reactions (redness, rash, swelling, burning sensation, itching), bronchospasms may occur. If the drug gets into the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to rinse and consult a doctor.

You should also pay attention to the fact that the ibuprofen content in the drug provides an analgesic effect, so pay attention to the simultaneous use of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can lead to adverse reactions.

The use of the drug Dolgit does not impair coordination of movement, therefore it is not contraindicated for people driving. Does not affect physical and mental development. Does not cause drowsiness.

Sold freely in pharmacies without a prescription. When purchasing this product, pay attention to the manufacturing date (shelf life 3 years).

Medicine and healthComment

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics

After the cream or gel has been applied to the skin, ibuprofen penetrates into deep tissues - synovial fluid, joints, subcutaneous tissue, muscles. There therapeutic concentrations are achieved.

In the application area, the therapeutic effect is achieved through direct distribution through the skin into the tissue. A small amount of the active substance is determined in plasma. The effect of the drug is observed 15-30 minutes after the product has been applied. The effect continues for 3-4 hours after applying Dolgit cream or gel. If the product is applied to the joint area, the active component is absorbed into the synovial fluid, from where it enters the blood. It is excreted from the body in urine.

Do excipients in the local form of NSAIDs matter?

Yes, they improve skin permeability and perhaps enhance the therapeutic effect in a certain way. In separate studies, for example, topical formulations of diclofenac with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and diclofenac diethylamine 1.16% have been shown to penetrate the skin faster than “regular” diclofenac sodium gels. In addition, DMSO itself may have a slight anti-inflammatory effect. There is no solid evidence of an increase in the analgesic effect due to the listed supplements, but their use at least helps to overcome the individual characteristics of the skin [7, 9–11].

Instructions for use of Dolgita (Method and dosage)

The product in the form of gel and cream is used externally only.

Gel Dolgit, instructions for use

It is necessary to apply the gel to the area where pain is noted, with a strip of 5-10 cm. The gel should be rubbed in with light movements until it is completely absorbed into the skin. It is recommended to carry out this procedure 3-4 times a day. The gel should not be used under an airtight covering bandage. If a severe case is diagnosed, topical treatment should be combined with oral NSAIDs.

Cream Dolgit, instructions for use

The ointment is applied 2-3 times a day. Rub the product with light movements into the area where pain is felt until it is completely absorbed. The duration of use depends on the severity of the condition. Treatment can be practiced for 10 days, then you should consult a doctor.

After using the medicine, you must wash your hands; do not allow the medicine to get into your eyes or mucous membranes. Also, the medicine is not applied to places where there are scratches or other damage to the skin.

The maximum permissible dose of external agents Dolgit is 20 cm of product.

What does “when used correctly” mean? Anointed, and that’s it.

It is advisable to rub in topical forms of NSAIDs for a while rather than just apply them. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect of the ointment will be much higher if you do not just “anoint” it, but actively rub the product into the skin over the sore spot for some time. In the course of relevant studies, it was found that even 45 seconds of rubbing diclofenac diethylamine gel five times increased the transdermal delivery of the drug compared to simple application to the skin. And you need to remember that pain-relieving ointments based on NSAIDs act on areas of pain located immediately under the skin. If we talk about joints, then these are the knees, elbows and small joints of the hands. The local form most likely “will not reach the hip joint.” It should be rubbed “around the circumference” of the limb, for example, not only into the dorsum, but also into the palmar surface of the interphalangeal joint [6, 7].

Overdose

If the cream or gel was used in quantities exceeding those indicated, or the product was applied to large areas of the body, the patient may develop nausea , abdominal pain, headaches, and a feeling of drowsiness .

In such cases, if possible, you need to remove all remnants of the product from the skin. If the medicine was taken orally, it is necessary to rinse the stomach, use laxatives and carry out symptomatic treatment.

special instructions

Before starting treatment, you should first read the instructions in order to understand why Dolgit cream is used and in what cases it is advisable to do so.

In case of severe manifestations of the disease, the use of external agents is combined with the use of oral NSAIDs.

The use of the product does not affect the ability to concentrate attention or the severity of reactions, which is why the cream and gel can be used by those who drive vehicles and work with complex mechanisms.

  2. Has an anesthetic effect;
  3. Relieves the feeling of heat at the site of injury;
