ANALGIN 30% Injectable solution (metamizole sodium)

Content Analgin 30% Injectable solution

Metamizole Sodium 300 mg

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION
Metamizole is an antipyretic from the antipyrine (pyrazolone) group. It possesses pronounced
analgesic, antifebrile, anti-inflammatory, antineuralgic, antirheumatic, spasmolytic and sedative
properties. It eliminates the spasms of the forestomachs and regulates their motor function. It
does not suppress the intestinal peristalsis. Metamizole restricts the inflammatory edema. It is
well tolerated by animals.
In pharmacokinetic terms metamizole is a typical precursor. After oral administration it is
quickly hydrolyzed in the gastrointestinal tract to the active compound 4-methylaminoantipyrin.
Intravenously and intramuscularly injected metamizole has comparable bioavailability
parameters and tmax as those recorded after oral administration. The primary metabolite
4-methylaminoantipyrin undergoes further metabolization in liver to the final metabolites
4-formyl-aminoantipyrin, aminoantipyrin and 4-acetylaminoantipyrin. 4-methylaminoantipyrin
and its 3 major secondary metabolites account for approximately 77% of the total residue in
human serum 2 to 8 hours after administration of 14C-metamizole.

Indications
As spasmolytic in large ruminants, horses, pigs, dogs and cats: in catarrhal-spasmatic colic,
meteorism and intestinal constipation; in spasms of the uterine cervix during birth; for pains of
urinary and biliary origin; nevritis; acute gastric dilatation accompanied by severe colic attacks;
for allaying the irritability of the animals and preparing them for stomach lavage; in esophageal
obstruction; in joint and muscular rheumatism.

Contraindications
