Pharmacological properties:
The drug has a pronounced analgesic, anticonvulsant (reduces smooth muscle tone), moderate anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect. In animals, the drug causes inhibition of cyclooxygenase, thus acting on the central and peripheral nervous system. After injection the intensity of pain is reduced without inhibition of peristalsis, therefore in case of atony, intestinal spasms, flatulence the drug causes sedation of animals, equalization of peristalsis, gas evacuation. When administered intramuscularly the analgesic effect lasts for 1-2 hours, while intravenous administration starts after 10 minutes and lasts for about 45-60 minutes. The drug metabolites are eliminated mainly with the urine.
