Took metamizole for 2 days due to very severe pain in the knee joint. The pain did not completely subside, but was better than with ibuprofen. After the second dose, sweating in the middle of the night. Discontinued medication immediately due to known severe side effects.
Provided much longer-lasting pain relief and fever reduction than comparable amounts of ibuprofen.
Due to the high quantities, the only side effects over a short period of time were diarrhoea, which is absolutely fine.
Vomiting, circulatory weakness, headache, facial flushing and swelling, palpitations
I had a lumbago that put me completely out of action.The pain was unbearable until I tried metamizol.Within a short time I felt significant relief and was able to move again without wincing in pain. It was really amazing how quickly and effectively the medication worked. I was able to resume my daily activities much quicker than I would have thought possible. This medication was a real lifesaver for me in this acute pain situation.
I have been taking metamizole for a week now because of moderately intense pain in my arm due to a BSV in my cervical spine. Better tolerated than ibuprofen as far as the stomach is concerned. However, I feel slightly confused about 1 hour after taking 1,000 mg (less doesn’t work at all), my skin on my face burns and the effect wears off quickly.
Unfortunately, metamizole did not help me very well. It hardly relieved my pain. Even 1000mg hardly brought any pain relief. I then switched to ibuprofen, which helped me better although it is weaker.
I take 4 to 8 metamizole a day because of severe pain in my cervical spine and shoulder area. This reduces the pain, but it never goes away completely. Since then, I have gained around 5 lbs despite having little appetite. The medication also affects my libido and digestion.
I tried various painkillers and also used metamizol. Although it did its job, I find the price too high compared to other medicines. There are cheaper alternatives that work in a similar way. I personally have better experiences with tramadol
I took Metamizol for both my back pain and fever. Whilst it was great for the pain, I wasn’t entirely convinced by the effect on fever. The plus point is that I had no side effects.
I had a terrible toothache and nothing helped. After taking Metamizol, I felt a clear improvement. It worked really quickly and I could finally breathe again. A lifesaver in this acute situation!
Compared to other painkillers such as NSAIDs, metamizole is easier on my stomach and less likely to cause gastrointestinal problems. But it led to a serious reduction in white blood cells and then to infections.
I took Metamizole after a minor knee injury. It helped to alleviate the pain and made the recovery more bearable.
