Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Metamizol Hcs is a pyrazolone analgesic that acts on pain and fever pathways.
  • Acute pain: provides rapid analgesia for severe short‑term pain episodes.
  • Post‑operative pain: reduces discomfort following surgical procedures.
  • Colic: alleviates visceral pain associated with gastrointestinal colic.
  • Fever: lowers elevated body temperature in febrile states.

How It Works

  • Metamizole sodium exerts its pharmacologic effect by non‑selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes, leading to decreased synthesis of prostaglandins. The reduction of prostaglandins diminishes peripheral nociceptive signaling and fever. In addition, central analgesic and spasmolytic actions are observed, although the precise central mechanisms remain incompletely defined.

Side Effects

Metamizol Hcs may cause a range of adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Injection site pain: discomfort at the site of administration.
  • Hypotension: transient drop in blood pressure.
  • Nausea: feeling of sickness or urge to vomit.
  • Dizziness: light‑headed sensation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Agranulocytosis: severe reduction in white blood cells, potentially life‑threatening.
  • Severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome): extensive skin detachment.
  • Anaphylactic shock: rapid, severe allergic response.
  • Hepatotoxicity: liver injury indicated by elevated enzymes.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Use of Metamizol Hcs requires careful clinical assessment.
  • Renal impairment: monitor kidney function and adjust therapy as needed.
  • Hepatic disease: exercise caution due to hepatic metabolism.
  • History of blood dyscrasias: avoid or closely monitor blood counts.
  • Concurrent use with other NSAIDs or pyrazolones: increased risk of adverse effects.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: safety not established; avoid unless essential.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and light.

Avoid Interactions

Metamizol Hcs can interact with several drug classes.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with other myelosuppressive agents: may increase risk of agranulocytosis.
  • Combination with ACE inhibitors or diuretics: can potentiate hypotensive effects.
  • Co‑administration with other NSAIDs or COX inhibitors: heightened risk of renal and gastrointestinal toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect; monitor INR.
  • Lithium: possible increase in lithium levels; monitor serum concentration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Metamizol Hcs is used to relieve severe acute pain, manage postoperative discomfort, treat visceral pain associated with colic, and reduce fever. It is administered by injection and is typically reserved for situations where rapid and effective analgesia or antipyresis is required.

Metamizole sodium works by non‑selectively inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers prostaglandin production. This reduces peripheral pain signaling and fever. In addition, it exerts central analgesic and spasmolytic actions, although the exact mechanisms within the central nervous system are not fully understood.

The dosage of Metamizol Hcs is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, severity of symptoms, and clinical response. Healthcare professionals adjust the dose according to established guidelines and individual patient factors.

Safety of Metamizol Hcs during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It is generally avoided unless the potential benefit outweighs the possible risk to the fetus or infant, and only under close medical supervision.

To order Metamizol Hcs, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Metamizol Hcs belongs to the pyrazolone class, offering potent analgesic and antipyretic effects similar to strong NSAIDs but with a distinct safety profile. Unlike many NSAIDs, it has a lower risk of gastrointestinal ulceration but carries a rare risk of agranulocytosis, which must be weighed against alternatives.

Metamizol Hcs should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the product from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations to maintain its stability and sterility.

Metamizol Hcs is administered by a healthcare professional via intramuscular or intravenous injection. The route is chosen based on the clinical situation, and the injection should be performed using aseptic technique in a suitable clinical setting.

The most serious risks include agranulocytosis, a potentially life‑threatening drop in white blood cells, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, anaphylactic shock, and hepatotoxicity. Prompt recognition of symptoms and immediate medical attention are essential if these events occur.

Metamizol Hcs should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to pyrazolones, a history of blood dyscrasias, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and in individuals where the risk of agranulocytosis outweighs the therapeutic benefit. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only if clearly indicated.
