Spasmalgon®
When treating children and patients receiving cytostatic drugs, treatment with the drug should be carried out only under the supervision of a physician.
An increased risk of developing hypersensitivity reactions to metamizole sodium, which is part of the drug, is caused by the following conditions:
- bronchial asthma, especially in combination with polypous rhinosinusitis;
- chronic urticaria;
- alcohol intolerance (increased sensitivity to alcohol), against the background of which, even when taking a small amount of certain alcoholic beverages, patients experience sneezing, lacrimation and severe redness of the face. Alcohol intolerance may indicate previously unidentified aspirin asthma syndrome;
- intolerance or hypersensitivity to dyes (for example, tartrazine) or preservatives (for example, benzoate).
Before using the drug, it is necessary to conduct a thorough interview with the patient. If a risk of developing an anaphylactoid reaction is detected, use of the drug is possible only after a full assessment of the risk/benefit ratio.
If the drug is used in such patients, strict medical monitoring of their condition is necessary and the availability of means to provide them with emergency assistance in the event of the development of anaphylactic/anaphylactoid reactions is required.
Predisposed patients may experience anaphylactic shock, so patients with asthma or atopy should use the drug with caution.
Life-threatening skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been described with the use of metamizole sodium. If symptoms of these diseases appear (such as a progressive skin rash, often with blisters or lesions of the mucous membrane), treatment with the drug should be stopped immediately and should not be restarted.
During therapy with metamizole-containing drugs, agranulocytosis may develop. It lasts at least a week, does not depend on the dose, can be severe, life-threatening and even lead to the death of the patient. In this regard, if symptoms possibly associated with neutropenia appear (fever, chills, sore throat, difficulty swallowing, stomatitis, erosive and ulcerative lesions of the oral cavity, vaginitis or proctitis, a decrease in the number of neutrophils in peripheral blood - less than 1500/mm3), it is necessary to stop treatment and consult a doctor.
If the patient receives antibiotic therapy, then the typical manifestations of agranulocytosis may be minimally expressed. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is significantly increased, while lymph node enlargement is mild or absent.
Typical symptoms of thrombocytopenia are an increased tendency to bleeding and the appearance of petechiae on the skin and mucous membranes.
In case of pancytopenia, treatment should be stopped immediately; complete blood count parameters should be monitored until they return to normal.
All patients should be aware that if symptoms of a pathological change in the blood (for example, general malaise, infection, persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, pale skin) appear while using the drug, they should immediately consult a doctor.
Administration of a metamizole-containing drug may cause individual hypotensive reactions. These reactions may be dose dependent and occur more often after parenteral administration.
To avoid the development of severe hypotensive reactions, you should adhere to the following recommendations:
- blood pressure, heart rate and breathing should be monitored;
- patients with existing hypotension, decreased circulating blood volume, dehydration, hemodynamic instability or with the initial stage of circulatory failure require normalization of hemodynamics;
- Caution should be used when treating patients with high body temperature.
In patients who should avoid lowering blood pressure (for example, with severe ischemic heart disease or cerebral stenosis), therapy should be carried out only with careful hemodynamic monitoring.
During treatment with the drug you should refrain from drinking alcohol.
It is unacceptable to use the drug to relieve acute abdominal pain (until the cause is determined).
In patients with impaired liver or kidney function, it is recommended to avoid the use of the drug in high doses due to a decrease in the rate of elimination of the drug.

Interaction
Spasmalgon and non-narcotic analgesics, when taken simultaneously, can lead to increased toxic effects of the drugs. Allopurinol , COCs, tricyclic antidepressants disrupt the metabolism of metamizole in the liver, resulting in increased toxicity. Inducers of microsomal liver enzymes reduce the effectiveness of metamizole. Tranquilizers and sedatives increase the severity of the analgesic effect. The simultaneous use of cyclosporine and spasmalgon reduces the concentration of the former in the blood. Spasmalgon enhances the effect of ethanol. Concomitant use with phenothiazine derivatives increases body temperature. Cytostatics and thiamazole increase the risk of developing leukopenia. The effectiveness of the drug is increased by H2-histamine receptor blockers, codeine , propranolol .
