Frequently asked questions

What is Metamizolnatrij Hidrat Kalceks used for?+
Metamizolnatrij Hidrat Kalceks contains Metamizole Sodium Monohydrate, which is employed to relieve acute moderate to severe pain, postoperative discomfort, colic or visceral pain, and to reduce fever in adult patients when other treatments are insufficient.
