What is Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate?

Metamizole sodium, the active ingredient in Metamizol Hcs, is a pyrazolone analgesic presented as a sterile injectable solution for intramuscular and intravenous use. It treats acute pain, postoperative pain, colic and fever in adult patients. GNH USA supplies Metamizol Hcs as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate used for?

Metamizol Hcs is a pyrazolone analgesic that acts on pain and fever pathways. Acute pain: provides rapid analgesia for severe short‑term pain episodes. Post‑operative pain: reduces discomfort following surgical procedures. Colic: alleviates visceral pain associated with gastrointestinal colic. Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in febrile states.

What are the side effects of Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate?

Metamizol Hcs may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Injection site pain: discomfort at the site of administration. - Hypotension: transient drop in blood pressure. - Nausea: feeling of sickness or urge to vomit. - Dizziness: light‑headed sensation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Agranulocytosis: severe reduction in white blood cells, potentially life‑threatening. - Severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome): extensive skin detachment. - Anaphylactic shock: rapid, severe allergic response. - Hepatotoxicity: liver injury indicated by elevated enzymes.

What precautions apply to Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate?

Use of Metamizol Hcs requires careful clinical assessment. Renal impairment: monitor kidney function and adjust therapy as needed. Hepatic disease: exercise caution due to hepatic metabolism. History of blood dyscrasias: avoid or closely monitor blood counts. Concurrent use with other NSAIDs or pyrazolones: increased risk of adverse effects. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: safety not established; avoid unless essential. Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and light.

What does Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate interact with?

Metamizol Hcs can interact with several drug classes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with other myelosuppressive agents: may increase risk of agranulocytosis. - Combination with ACE inhibitors or diuretics: can potentiate hypotensive effects. - Co‑administration with other NSAIDs or COX inhibitors: heightened risk of renal and gastrointestinal toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect; monitor INR. - Lithium: possible increase in lithium levels; monitor serum concentration.

Frequently asked questions

What is Metamizol Hcs used for?+
Metamizol Hcs is used to relieve severe acute pain, manage postoperative discomfort, treat visceral pain associated with colic, and reduce fever. It is administered by injection and is typically reserved for situations where rapid and effective analgesia or antipyresis is required.
How does Metamizole sodium work?+
Metamizole sodium works by non‑selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers prostaglandin production. This reduces peripheral pain signaling and fever. In addition, it exerts central analgesic and spasmolytic actions, although the exact mechanisms within the central nervous system are not fully understood.
What is the usual dose of Metamizol Hcs?+
The dosage of Metamizol Hcs is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, severity of symptoms, and clinical response. Healthcare professionals adjust the dose according to established guidelines and individual patient factors.
Is Metamizol Hcs safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of Metamizol Hcs during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It is generally avoided unless the potential benefit outweighs the possible risk to the fetus or infant, and only under close medical supervision.
How do I order Metamizol Hcs from GNH USA?+
To order Metamizol Hcs, 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 Hcs compare with other analgesics?+
Metamizol Hcs belongs to the pyrazolone class, offering potent analgesic and antipyretic effects similar to strong NSAIDs but with a distinct safety profile. Unlike many NSAIDs, it has a lower risk of gastrointestinal ulceration but carries a rare risk of agranulocytosis, which must be weighed against alternatives.
How should Metamizol Hcs be stored?+
Metamizol Hcs should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the product from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to maintain its stability and sterility.
How is Metamizol Hcs administered?+
Metamizol Hcs is administered by a healthcare professional via intramuscular or intravenous injection. The route is chosen based on the clinical situation, and the injection should be performed using aseptic technique in a suitable clinical setting.
What are the most serious risks associated with Metamizol Hcs?+
The most serious risks include agranulocytosis, a potentially life‑threatening drop in white blood cells, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, anaphylactic shock, and hepatotoxicity. Prompt recognition of symptoms and immediate medical attention are essential if these events occur.
Who should not use Metamizol Hcs?+
Metamizol Hcs should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to pyrazolones, a history of blood dyscrasias, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and in individuals where the risk of agranulocytosis outweighs the therapeutic benefit. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only if clearly indicated.
