Phenazone (also known as antipyrine) is a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic formerly used for the relief of pain and fever. It is a pyrazolone derivative. Its use today is rare in many countries, having been largely replaced by safer and more effective agents, though it remains a classic model drug in pharmacokinetics studies due to well-established metabolic pathways.
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported for healthy adult volunteers (mixed sex, typical age 20-40 years) after a single oral dose.
