  – Postoperative inflammation and pain, e.g. following dental or orthopaedic surgery.
  – Painful post-traumatic inflammatory states, e.g. due to sprains.

* Dosage:
  # Adults:
  – The recommended dosage is 2-3 Anuva dispersible tablets (100-150 mg) daily. In milder cases, as well as for
  children over 14 years of age, 2 tablets daily are usually sufficient. The total daily amount should normally be given in
  2-3 divided doses.
  – In primary dysmenorrhoea the daily dosage is generally 1-3 Anuva dispersible tablets, with individual adjustment.
  Initially a dose of 1-2 tablets should be prescribed. If necessary, this may be raised over the course of several
  menstrual cycles up to a maximum of 4 tablets daily. Treatment should be started at the onset of the first symptoms
  and continued for a few days, depending on the response.
  # Children:
  – Because of their strength, Anuva dispersible tablets are not recommended for use in children below 14 years of age.
  – Anuva drops and Anuva 12.5 mg and 25 mg suppositories are available for use in children.
  # Administration:
  Anuva dispersible tablets should be taken before meals. The dispersible tablets should be dropped into a glass of water
  and the liquid stirred to aid dispersion, then drunk. Since a proportion of the active substance may remain in the glass
  after drinking, the glass should be rinsed with a small amount of water, which should also be drunk.
  # Contra-indications:
  – Peptic ulcer.
  – In patients in whom attacks of asthma, urticaria, or acute rhinitis are precipitated by acetylsalicylic acid or by other drugs
  with prostaglandin-synthetase inhibiting activity.
