  • Metamizole sodium monohydrate
    500 mg.

Description

Metamizole is a pyrazolone non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its mode of action is similar to that of other NSAIDs and involves the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis via cyclooxygenase. In contrast to other NSAIDs, metamizole also has antispasmodic activity. After intramuscular injection metamizole is rapidly absorbed, reaching maximum blood levels after 1 to 2 hours. Metamizole and its metabolites are predominantly excreted in urine (85%) and to a lesser degree (15%) in faeces. A clinical effect is typically observed within 30 minutes after intramuscular injection.

Indications

Castralgin is indicated for relief of pain associated with various forms of colic of various etiologies and other spastic conditions of the abdominal organs, for acute and chronic arthritis, serositis, rheumatic conditions of muscles and joints, neuritis, neuralgia, tendovaginitis and other diseases involving high fever and/or inflammation processes in calves, cattle, swine and dogs.

Hypersensitivity to the active ingredient.
Administration to animals with seriously impaired renal and/or hepatic functions.
