Analgin has a large number of side effects, in particular, it can increase bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, so it should not be taken for abdominal pain. This was told to Gazeta.Ru by Arutyun Vardanyan, a physician at the Doctor Aleksandrovsky Medical Center and a member of the European and Russian Respiratory Societies.
Analgin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). They are widely used as painkillers, antipyretics and anti-inflammatory agents.
“Analgin is used only in Russia and Germany, and in English-speaking countries, due to the risk of developing myelosuppression (a condition that leads to a decrease in bone marrow activity) with long-term use, it has not received widespread use. In addition, under no circumstances should you take NSAIDs, including analgin, for abdominal pain if its cause is internal bleeding; taking analgin will only worsen the situation, intensifying it,” the doctor said.
In addition, analgin has other side effects. For example, it can affect the gastrointestinal tract, aggravating gastric ulcer or causing dyspepsia. Dyspepsia syndrome is defined as a feeling of pain or discomfort in the epigastric region closer to the midline.
“Analgin also affects the cardiovascular system. When taken, it may exacerbate arterial hypertension (increased blood pressure). It can also cause thrombocytopenia, a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of platelets, which is accompanied by increased bleeding and problems with stopping bleeding. Analgin can also cause renal failure due to narrowing of the renal vessels,” the doctor concluded.
