Benorilate

Benorilate

Benorilate (pronounced ben-or-il-ate) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used for the treatment of pain and inflammation in various medical conditions. It is also known as benorylate or benorilat.

Etymology

The term "Benorilate" is derived from the combination of two other drugs, benzoic acid and paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen), which are chemically bonded to form this unique compound.

Pharmacology

Benorilate is an esterification product of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and paracetamol. It is metabolized in the body to produce both of these parent compounds, which are responsible for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. The drug is typically administered orally.

Indications

Benorilate is used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation in conditions such as arthritis, rheumatism, and other musculoskeletal disorders. It may also be used to alleviate pain and reduce fever in other conditions as determined by a healthcare provider.

Side Effects

Like other NSAIDs, benorilate can cause side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In rare cases, it may cause allergic reactions, liver damage, and kidney damage.

Contraindications

Benorilate should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to ASA, paracetamol, or any other component of the drug. It is also contraindicated in patients with active peptic ulcer disease, severe liver or kidney disease, and in those with a history of asthma attacks or other allergic reactions triggered by ASA or other NSAIDs.
