Metamizole sodium, also known as dipyrone, is a non-opioid analgesic, antipyretic, and spasmolytic drug used for the relief of severe pain and fever. It is typically employed as a second-line medication when other non-opioid analgesics are insufficient. While widely used in some countries, it has been withdrawn or restricted in several due to risks of agranulocytosis.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for healthy adult population. No specific published data for the pharmacokinetics of metamizole combinations (excl. psycholeptics; ATC N02BB52); parameters for metamizole sodium alone extrapolated for oral administration.
