Metamizol Hexal is prescribed to relieve acute pain, reduce fever, and manage post‑operative discomfort in adult patients. It belongs to the pyrazolone class of analgesic and antipyretic medicines.

What are the most serious risks associated with Metamizol Hexal?+
The most serious risks include agranulocytosis, a potentially life‑threatening drop in white‑blood‑cell count, and severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Prompt medical attention is required if signs of infection, rash, or breathing difficulty develop.
Who should not use Metamizol Hexal?+
Metamizol Hexal should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to metamizole or other pyrazolones, patients with existing blood‑cell disorders, and those who have experienced severe reactions to similar medications.
