About this active substance

The combination of metamizole sodium + caffeine + drotaverine is used to relieve moderate to severe pain, especially pain associated with smooth muscle spasms, such as biliary colic, renal colic, or menstrual pain. This combination provides rapid and effective pain relief by combining analgesic, antispasmodic, and stimulant effects.

- Metamizole sodium is an analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
- Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant, enhancing the effectiveness of the analgesic and reducing fatigue associated with pain.
- Drotaverine is an antispasmodic that relaxes smooth muscles, effectively reducing pain caused by spasms.

This combination is indicated for the treatment of acute pain, such as migraines, tension headaches, colic, or menstrual pain.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, low blood pressure, palpitations, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, agranulocytosis (a decrease in white blood cells) or severe hypersensitivity reactions may occur. It is important to take this medication as prescribed by a doctor, and long-term use should be avoided.
