Like all medicines, metamizole (dipyrone) can cause side effects although not everybody gets them.
The frequency of side effects is classified into:
Very common: affect 1 out of 1-10 patients
Common: affect 1 out of 10-100 patients
Uncommon: affect 1 out of 100-1.000 patients
Rare: affect 1 out of 1.000-10.000 patients
Very Rare: affect less than 1 in 10,000 patients
Incidence not known: Can not be established the true incidence from the available data
Metamizole rarely causes allergic reactions, which in very rare cases can be serious and life-threatening.
This can occur even if you have already used on other occasions metamizole without any complication; usually, occur within the first hour after administration.
The milder allergic reactions are usually manifest as symptoms of skin and mucous membranes (eg, itching, burning, redness, hives, swelling), shortness of breath and, less often, gastrointestinal discomfort. These mild reactions may progress to severe forms with generalized urticaria, swelling of feet, hands, lips, throat and respiratory tract (angioedema), severe bronchospasm, heart rhythm disturbances, a decrease in blood pressure (sometimes preceded by an increase in blood pressure)
and circulatory shock.
In patients with asthma induced by analgesics, the intolerance reactions usually are manifested as asthma attacks.
Uncommonly, have been reported drug rashes. In rare cases with maculopapular skin reactions, and in very rare cases there have been produced skin reactions in which vesicles or blisters appear (Stevens-Johnson syndrome or Lyell syndrome).
May occur rare reactions of decreased blood pressure.
On rare occasions, there has been a decreased number of white blood cell count (leukopenia) and very rarely decreased platelets count in the blood (thrombocytopenia). In these cases, inflammatory mucosal lesions, sore throat, and fever may occur.
In very rare cases have been reported kidney problems with reduction or elimination of urine output, increased the amount of protein excreted in the urine and kidney inflammation (interstitial nephritis).
This list does not include all adverse reactions associated with the use of metamizole (dipyrone), both well established as those that are under consideration or confirmation. In case you feel unwell, should immediately consult with the doctor who prescribed this medicine.
If you notice any side effects not listed in this website or in the leaflet accompanying the package, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
If any of the side effects gets serious, tell your doctor or pharmacist.
