WHAT DYNASTAT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Dynastat contains the active substance parecoxib.
Dynastat is used for the short-term treatment of pain in adults after
an operation. It is one of a family
of medicines called COX-2 inhibitors (this is short for
_cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors_
). Pain and
swelling are sometimes caused by substances in the body called
_prostaglandins_
. Dynastat works by
lowering the amount of these prostaglandins.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
For the short-term treatment of postoperative pain in adults.
The decision to prescribe a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)
inhibitor should be based on an
assessment of the individual patient's overall risks (see sections 4.3
and 4.4).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose is 40 mg administered intravenously (IV) or
intramuscularly (IM), followed
every 6 to 12 hours by 20 mg or 40 mg as required, not to exceed 80
mg/day.
As the cardiovascular risk of COX-2 specific inhibitors may increase
with dose and duration of
exposure, the shortest duration possible and the lowest effective
daily dose should be used. There is
limited clinical experience with Dynastat treatment beyond three days
(see section 5.1).
Concomitant use with opioid analgesics
_ _
Opioid analgesics can be used concurrently with parecoxib, dosing as
described in the paragraph
above. In all clinical assessments parecoxib was administered at a
fixed time interval whereas the
opioids were administered on as needed basis.
Elderly
No dose adjustment is generally necessary in elderly patients (≥65
years). However, for elderly
patients weighing less than 50 kg, treatment should be initiated with
half the usual recommended dose
