Clinical & Cultural Notes
- Not approved in the US because of a rare risk of agranulocytosis; available over the counter across most of Latin America. Patients may have taken it for years without thinking of it as a prescription drug.
- For combination products, verify the country, exact formulation, active ingredients, and strength on the package before recording metamizole exposure.
- Can cause severe hypotension when given IV, which is a common route in Latin American hospitals.
