What is Metamizole (Dipyrone)?
Active Ingredients: Metamizole Sodium
Metamizole (Dipyrone) Injection is an analgesic drug used to relieve severe pain and reduce fever in dogs, horses, and livestock like cows, goats, sheep, and pigs. It is an effective treatment for a high fever caused by infections, such as Eperythrozoon, toxoplasmosis, circovirus, and infectious pleurisy.
Due to its antispasmodic properties, it can also be used to treat gastrointestinal, biliary, or urinary colic.
Metamizole Sodium belongs to the family of medicines called ampyrone sulfonates. It displays strong antipyretic, spasmolytic, and analgesic properties and weak anti-inflammatory action. Metamizole is thought to work by inhibiting central cyclooxygenase-3 and activating the cannabinoid and opioidergic system.
