Analgin - instructions for pregnancy ... And not only

Analgin (international name - metamizol sodium) refers to the pharmacotherapeutic group of analgesics and antipyretics, that is, it is a symptomatic analgesic and antipyretic agent. He does not cure the cause of pain, but relieves pain syndrome. Other trade names for analgin are baralgin, benalgin, spasmalgon, tempalgin, novalgin, dipiro, aptalgin-teva, pentalgin, sedal-M, sedalgin-neo.

Among the indications for its use: pain of various origins (headache, toothache, neuralgia, sciatica, myositis, pain during menstruation), febrile conditions with a sharp rise in body temperature, flu, rheumatism. The analgesic effect is felt quite quickly due to the fact that the analgin is perfectly soluble and is immediately absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.

Then the components of the drug under the influence of gastric juice are converted into metabolites (in this case, derivatives of amino-antipyrine), which are not biodegradable and are excreted mainly by the kidneys (red color of the urine is possible), and in breast-feeding mothers - with milk. In addition, analgine metabolites are able to cross the blood-brain and hematoplacental barriers.

And although little is known about the behavior and persistence of metabolic products of analgin (metamizole sodium) in the environment, but European researchers at high concentrations found them ... In wastewater.

Analgin can cause allergies in the form of skin rashes, swelling of the facial skin and mucous pharynx, as well as in the form of anaphylactic shock.

Side effects of analgin on the blood: thrombocytopenia, granulocytopenia, leukopenia, anemia, agranulocytosis.

Side effects of analgin on the urinary system: interstitial nephritis, oliguria, proteinuria and a decrease in the volume of urine.

Side effects of analgin on the biliary system (gallbladder and bile ducts): hepatitis.

Side effects of analgin on the respiratory system: there may be attacks of bronchial spasm with a tendency to bronchospasm.

Analgin in pregnancy: the consequences

Some recent studies conducted under the auspices of WHO led to the conclusion that the risk of harmful side effects of metamizole (analgin) and its analogs is too large compared to its therapeutic effect. First of all, when a woman takes analgin in the early stages of pregnancy. Since taking this medication, which passes through the placenta, can lead not only to anaphylaxis or such a dangerous pathology as agranulocytosis, but also to infantile leukemia.

In addition to suppressing hemopoiesis (hematopoietic system) of the future mother, analgin disrupts the normal functioning of her kidneys, and this negatively affects the development of the systems and organs of the unborn child and can cause various deviations.

So neither tablets of analgin, nor injections of analgin during pregnancy, nor analgin with dimedrolum during pregnancy can not be used!

By the way, in connection with the risk of agranulocytosis, analgin is banned in almost 40 countries of the world, including in Sweden, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, Syria, Yemen and Zimbabwe.

In Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Portugal and Spain, analgin is dispensed in pharmacies only on prescription.

Now you know almost everything about analgin. And you can give the correct answer to the question whether it is possible to drink analgin during pregnancy.
