Pharmacological effect
Antispasmodic - a combined analgesic with pronounced antispasmodic activity. The composition of the drug Spazmalgon includes three active ingredients - metamizole sodium, pitofenone hydrochloride and fenpiverinium bromide. The mechanism of action of the drug and its pharmacological effects are based on the pharmacological properties of the active components in its composition. Metamizole sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug derived from pyrazolone. Metamizole has a pronounced analgesic effect, has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect. The mechanism of action of metamizole sodium is associated with its ability to inhibit the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase, as a result of which the metabolism of arachidonic acid is disturbed and the synthesis of proinflammatory prostaglandins, prostacyclins and thromboxane is reduced. Metamizole sodium belongs to the group of non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and equally inhibits the activity of both isoforms of the cyclooxygenase enzyme - cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2. Owing to a decrease in the number of prostaglandins in the inflammatory focus, a decrease in the sensitivity of the chemoreceptors of the endings of afferent neurons of pain sensitivity to bradykinin and histamine is noted. In addition, a decrease in the number of prostaglandins in the focus of inflammation leads to a decrease in the production of endogenous biologically active substances involved in the inflammatory response. Thus, metamizole sodium has an analgesic effect by reducing the activity of the inflammatory process and reducing the effect of inflammatory mediators on painful endings. The antipyretic effect of the drug is associated with a decrease in the number of prostaglandins in the center of thermoregulation in the hypothalamus. Pitofenone hydrochloride is a derivative of piperidine, and has antispasmodic myotropic activity. The drug has papaverine-like effect, causes a decrease in tone and relaxation of smooth muscles.Pitofenone hydrochloride contributes to the elimination of pain caused by spasm of the smooth muscles of the internal organs. Fenpiverinium bromide is a drug of the M-holinoblokatorov group that contains quaternary nitrogen in its structure. The drug relieves spasm of the smooth muscle layer of internal organs, reduces the tone and reduces the motility of the stomach and intestines, relaxes the smooth muscles of the urinary and biliary tract. The pharmacologically active substances that make up the Spasmalgon preparation mutually enhance the therapeutic effect of each other. metamizole sodium, because at the moment reliable data on the pharmacokinetics of pitofenone hydrochloride and fenpiverinium bromide is absent. When administered orally, metamizole sodium is well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. In the intestinal walls, the drug is hydrolyzed to form a pharmacologically active substance, the peak concentration of the active substance in the blood plasma is noted 30-120 minutes after oral administration. When parenterally administered, the bioavailability of the drug is about 85%. The active substance is partially bound to plasma proteins. Metabolized in the liver to form pharmacologically active metabolites. Excreted mainly by the kidneys in the form of metabolites, a small part is excreted by the liver. About 3% of the drug is excreted from the body as unchanged metamizol. The amount of the drug that is biotransformed individually for each patient and depends on many factors, including the genetically determined type of acetylation. Patients suffering from cirrhosis of the liver have a change in the clearance indicators of metamizol.

Excellent!
I have been taking Spazmolgon for many years.
In my experience, it works wonders for the following types of pain:
- severe menstrual cramps
- really bad hangover
- back pain, including pinched nerve and sciatica
- shoulder and neck pain
- migraine.
It has NO sedative effect so it's safe to take during the day. When Tylenol and Ibuprofen fail, Spazmolgon helped me, as muscle pain is my daily experience unfortunately. I usually take 1, rarely two pills a day because 1 takes care of aforementioned areas of pain on levels 7 and under.
I highly recommend it!
