What is Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate?

Metamizole, the active ingredient in Metamizole Kabi, is a pyrazolone analgesic presented as an injection solution for intramuscular and intravenous use. It provides rapid relief of acute pain, post‑operative pain, fever, and colic or spasm‑related discomfort in adult patients under medical supervision and is commonly employed in hospital settings.

GNH USA supplies Metamizole Kabi as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, with a focus on quality assurance, regulatory compliance and reliable cold‑chain logistics where required.

What is Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate used for?

Metamizole is a pyrazolone analgesic used for conditions involving acute pain, fever, and spasm‑related discomfort. - Acute pain: provides rapid analgesia for sudden severe pain episodes. - Post‑operative pain: reduces pain intensity after surgical procedures. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in febrile states. - Colic and spasm‑related pain: relaxes smooth muscle and alleviates visceral cramping.

What are the side effects of Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate?

Metamizole may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to potentially life‑threatening.

Common Side Effects: - Injection site pain: mild discomfort at the site of administration. - Transient hypotension: short‑lasting drop in blood pressure after injection. - Nausea: feeling of sickness or urge to vomit. - Dizziness: light‑headedness or balance disturbance.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Agranulocytosis: severe reduction of white blood cells, increasing infection risk. - Neutropenia: marked decrease in neutrophil count, requiring monitoring. - Anaphylactic reaction: sudden, severe allergic response that can be fatal. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare skin disorder with blistering and detachment.

What precautions apply to Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate?

When using Metamizole, several safety considerations should be observed to minimize risk. - Renal impairment: monitor kidney function and adjust use as necessary. - Hepatic dysfunction: use with caution in patients with liver disease. - History of blood dyscrasias: avoid in individuals with prior agranulocytosis or severe neutropenia. - Concurrent myelosuppressive therapy: closely monitor blood counts when combined with other bone‑marrow suppressors. - Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established; avoid unless benefit outweighs risk. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

What does Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate interact with?

Metamizole can interact with other medicines, affecting its safety or efficacy.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Bone‑marrow suppressors: combined use heightens risk of agranulocytosis. - Sulfonamide antibiotics: may increase incidence of blood dyscrasias. - ACE inhibitors: can potentiate hypotensive effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs: additive gastrointestinal irritation. - Anticoagulants: potential increase in bleeding tendency. - Cytotoxic chemotherapy: enhanced myelosuppression risk.

Frequently asked questions

What is Metamizole Kabi used for?+
Metamizole Kabi is indicated for the management of acute pain, post‑operative pain, fever, and colic or spasm‑related pain. It is administered by intramuscular or intravenous injection and is commonly used in hospital settings for rapid symptom relief.
How does Metamizole work?+
Metamizole works by non‑selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, which reduces prostaglandin synthesis and thereby lowers pain, fever, and inflammation. It also exerts central analgesic effects and relaxes smooth muscle, providing antispasmodic activity.
What is the usual dose of Metamizole Kabi?+
The dose of Metamizole Kabi is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, weight, renal and hepatic function, and the route of administration. Healthcare professionals adjust the regimen to achieve optimal pain or fever control while monitoring safety.
Is Metamizole safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of Metamizole during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It should only be used when the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and this decision must be made by a qualified healthcare provider.
How do I order Metamizole Kabi from GNH USA?+
To order Metamizole Kabi, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain where applicable) and necessary import documentation.
How does Metamizole compare with other analgesics?+
Metamizole offers rapid analgesia and antipyretic effects similar to non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) but with a distinct mechanism that includes central analgesic and spasmolytic actions. Unlike opioids, it does not act on opioid receptors, reducing the risk of dependence, though it carries a unique risk of blood dyscrasias.
How should Metamizole be stored and handled?+
Metamizole Kabi should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the product from light and moisture, and avoid freezing. Follow standard aseptic techniques when preparing the injection to maintain sterility.
How is Metamizole administered?+
Metamizole Kabi is administered by a healthcare professional via intramuscular or intravenous injection. The injection site and rate of administration are selected according to the clinical situation and patient tolerance, following aseptic preparation guidelines.
What are the most serious risks associated with Metamizole?+
The most serious risks include agranulocytosis and severe neutropenia, which can lead to life‑threatening infections, as well as anaphylactic reactions and rare severe skin disorders such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Immediate medical attention is required if signs of these conditions appear.
Who should not use Metamizole?+
Metamizole is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug, a history of agranulocytosis or severe neutropenia, and in those with severe hepatic or renal impairment where risk outweighs benefit. Caution is also advised for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless clearly indicated.
