Abstract

Musculoskeletal pain syndromes, such as low back pain, are very common in the population, and are associated with significant periods of temporary disability and enormous material costs. Effective treatment of such conditions are often fraught with the risk of undesirable side effects. The possibility of use in the treatment of such patients the drug Nolodatak (flupirtine), which has analgesic, muscle relaxant and neuroprotective effects is analyzed. There are also analyzed indications for its intended purpose, the possible risks of the therapy and how to prevent them. Existing data allow us to examine flupirtine as an effective drug for the treatment of patients with musculoskeletal pain syndromes, particularly lower back pain. The exact adherence to the instructions for use of the drug, the correct assessment of the clinical picture of the disease, including the presence of concomitant somatic diseases, able to ensure the safety of the treatment process.
