What is Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate?

Metamizole sodium, the active ingredient in Metamizol Basi, is a pyrazolone presented as an injectable solution for intramuscular and intravenous use. It treats acute pain, post‑operative pain, fever, and visceral pain in adult patients.

GNH USA supplies Metamizol Basi as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, clinics and procurement teams worldwide, ensuring consistent quality, regulatory compliance and batch‑tested documentation for global distribution.

What is Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate used for?

Metamizole sodium is employed for managing pain and fever through its analgesic and antipyretic actions.

Acute pain: provides rapid relief of moderate to severe pain. Post‑operative pain: reduces pain intensity after surgical procedures. Fever: lowers elevated body temperature. Visceral and colic pain: alleviates spasm‑related abdominal discomfort.

What are the side effects of Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate?

Common Side Effects: - Hypotension: transient drop in blood pressure after injection. - Nausea or vomiting: gastrointestinal upset. - Dizziness or vertigo: sensation of light‑headedness. - Injection site pain: local discomfort at the administration site. - Sweating: increased perspiration. - Headache: mild to moderate head pain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Agranulocytosis: severe reduction in white blood cells. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis: severe skin reactions. - Anaphylaxis: life‑threatening allergic response. - Severe hypotension: profound blood pressure fall requiring intervention. - Hepatic enzyme elevation: possible liver function abnormalities. - Blood dyscrasias: other serious hematologic abnormalities.

What precautions apply to Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate?

Metamizole sodium requires careful monitoring due to potential hematologic and cardiovascular effects.

Assess blood counts before therapy: monitor for agranulocytosis. Use with caution in renal impairment: adjust monitoring of renal function. Avoid in known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reaction occurs. Monitor blood pressure during IV infusion: watch for hypotensive episodes. Pregnancy and lactation: use only if benefits outweigh potential risks. Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

What does Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate interact with?

Metamizole sodium may interact with several drug classes, requiring vigilance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent myelosuppressive agents: increased risk of bone‑marrow suppression. - ACE inhibitors: may potentiate hypotensive effects. - Other NSAIDs/COX inhibitors: additive renal toxicity risk. - Anticoagulants: heightened bleeding tendency. - Allopurinol: possible increased agranulocytosis risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: monitor electrolytes and volume status. - Antihypertensives: observe for excessive blood‑pressure lowering. - CYP450 inhibitors: potential alteration of drug metabolism. - Other analgesics: enhanced sedation or respiratory depression. - Methotrexate: increased risk of toxicity, monitor levels.

Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Metamizol Basi used for?+
Metamizol Basi, containing metamizole sodium, is indicated for the relief of acute and post‑operative pain, reduction of fever, and treatment of visceral or colic pain. It is used in adult patients when rapid analgesia or antipyresis is required.
How does metamizole sodium work to relieve pain and fever?+
Metamizole sodium non‑selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes, decreasing prostaglandin synthesis. Lower prostaglandin levels reduce peripheral nociceptor sensitisation, while central actions on pain pathways and a spasmolytic effect contribute to its analgesic and antipyretic properties.
What is the usual dose of Metamizol Basi?+
The dose of Metamizol Basi is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, severity of symptoms, and route of administration. Healthcare professionals adjust the amount according to clinical guidelines and individual response.
Is Metamizol Basi safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for metamizole sodium in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare provider.
How do I order Metamizol Basi from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Metamizol Basi compare with other analgesics?+
Metamizole sodium belongs to the pyrazolone class and offers strong analgesic and antipyretic effects, often with a rapid onset. Compared with traditional NSAIDs, it may have a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation but carries a distinct risk of agranulocytosis, which requires monitoring.
What are the storage requirements for Metamizol Basi?+
Metamizol Basi should be stored at 2‑8 °C, kept refrigerated, protected from light, and should not be frozen or shaken. Maintaining the cold chain preserves the stability and sterility of the injectable solution.
How is Metamizol Basi administered?+
Metamizol Basi is supplied as an injectable solution for intramuscular or intravenous administration. The route, rate of infusion, and volume are determined by the prescriber, who follows aseptic technique and appropriate clinical protocols.
What are the most serious risks associated with Metamizol Basi?+
The most serious adverse reactions include agranulocytosis, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis, and profound hypotension. Prompt recognition and immediate medical intervention are essential if any of these events occur.
Who should not use Metamizol Basi?+
Metamizol Basi should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to metamizole or other pyrazolones, in patients with existing severe blood‑cell disorders, and in those for whom the risk of agranulocytosis outweighs the therapeutic benefit.
