As for analgetic and anti inflammatory use amelotex of injections on 1.5 ml. intramuscularly for 1 time a day within 5 days, complex vitamins groups B as neurobion restoring are damaging nerve tissues on 3 ml. intramuscularly are for 12 days, non steroid anti inflammation remedy as of sulfonamids as mimesil on 100 gr one packet which dilute in glass of water for 2 times a day after meal for ten days.
