| 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. |
