Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Metamizole sodium - the active component of Analgin Avexim - has an analgesic, antipyretic and weak anti-inflammatory effect.
Being a pyrazolone derivative, the substance non-selectively blocks cyclooxygenase and helps to reduce the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid. It also prevents the conduction of extra- and proprioceptive pain impulses. It has a weakly expressed anti-inflammatory property, which causes a slight effect on water-salt metabolism (water and sodium retention) and the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.
Metamizole sodium has an antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of the biliary and urinary tract.
The time required for the development of the effect of the drug after oral administration is from 20 to 40 minutes.
Pharmacokinetics
Metamizole sodium is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract quickly and well, which leads to the development of a rapid clinical effect. The maximum plasma concentration is reached 1–1.5 hours after oral administration.
The substance passes into breast milk when used in therapeutic doses.
Metamizole sodium is hydrolyzed in the intestinal walls, with the formation of 4-methyl-amino-antipyrine - an active metabolite, which is further metabolized into 4-formyl-amino-antipyrine and other metabolites. Protein binding of the active metabolite occurs at a level of 50-60%. Excretion of metabolites is carried out by the kidneys. Also metabolites are excreted in breast milk.
