Interactions with other drugs

With one-hour stagnation of the drug, which depresses the central nervous system, it is possible to enhance the sedative effect and depressive effect on the respiratory center. It enhances the effect of ethanol on psychomotor reactions. Acute exposure to similar phenothiazines can lead to the development of severe hyperthermia. With one-hour administration of cyclosporine, the concentration of cyclosporine in the blood decreases. Metamizole sodium, oral hypoglycemic drugs, indirect anticoagulants, glucocorticosteroids and indomethacin, which increase their activity. Phenylbutazone, barbiturates and other inducers of microsomal liver enzymes are found to immediately reduce the effectiveness of metamizole sodium. Tricyclic antidepressants, oral contraceptives, and alopurinol interfere with the metabolism of metamizole sodium in the liver and promote its toxicity.

Special instructions for use

In case of trivial (> 1 week) liver disease, it is necessary to control the peripheral blood picture and the functional state of the liver.
