Frequently asked questions

What is Metamizol Teva used for?+
Metamizol Teva contains metamizole sodium monohydrate and is used as an analgesic and antipyretic. It provides relief from moderate to severe pain and helps lower high body temperature in febrile conditions, making it suitable for postoperative pain, acute injury pain, and fever management.
How does metamizole work in the body?+
The exact mechanism of metamizole is not fully understood. It is believed to inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing prostaglandin production, and to influence endogenous opioid pathways, which together contribute to its pain‑relieving and fever‑reducing effects.
What is the usual dose of Metamizol Teva?+
The appropriate dose of Metamizol Teva is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, age, weight, and clinical response. Dosage instructions are provided on the prescription label and should be followed exactly as directed.
Is Metamizol Teva safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for metamizole in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare provider after evaluating individual circumstances.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity.

How does Metamizol compare with other analgesics?+
Metamizol offers strong analgesic and antipyretic effects similar to other non‑opioid pain relievers but differs by having a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation. However, it carries a unique risk of agranulocytosis, which is less common with many NSAIDs, so safety monitoring is essential.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Metamizol Teva?+
Metamizol Teva should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing it in humid or excessively hot environments.
How is Metamizol Teva administered?+
Metamizol Teva is administered orally. The tablet or liquid is taken with water, following the dosage prescribed by the healthcare professional. It should be swallowed whole unless the product label specifies otherwise.
What are the most serious risks associated with Metamizol Teva?+
The most serious adverse effect is agranulocytosis, a potentially life‑threatening drop in white blood cells. Other severe risks include Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, anaphylactic reactions, and significant liver or kidney impairment. Prompt medical attention is required if symptoms of these conditions appear.
Who should not use Metamizol Teva?+
Metamizol Teva should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to metamizole or any of its components, in patients with a history of agranulocytosis, and in those taking other myelotoxic drugs without close monitoring. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only under strict medical supervision.
