Frequently asked questions

What is Metamizol Zentiva used for?+
Metamizol Zentiva contains the active ingredient Metamizole, which is employed as an analgesic and antipyretic. It is prescribed to relieve moderate to severe pain and to reduce fever in adult patients, particularly when rapid symptom control is required.
How does Metamizole work in the body?+

Additional central mechanisms may also contribute to its analgesic effect.
What is the usual dose of Metamizol Zentiva?+
