Metamizole, also known as dipyrone, is a popular analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug used in human and veterinary medicine for pain relief, fever relief, and spasm relief. It is not approved for use in the United States. Metamizole is a pyrazolone derivative and belongs to the group of nonacid nonopioids. It is considered to be a potent analgesic, and is commonly used to treat pain (postoperative, colic, cancer, and migraine). However, it has been associated with life-threatening blood disorders and is banned in some countries. Metamizole is not the same as ibuprofen or paracetamol, although it has similar effects in relieving pain and fever. Metamizole is most commonly administered orally or through intravenous infusion.
Aceclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to relieve pain and inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It is an analog of diclofenac and was patented in 1983 and approved for medical use in 1992. Aceclofenac works by inhibiting certain enzymes responsible for the formation of prostaglandin, which helps in relieving pain and reducing swelling. Long-term and high-dose usage of Aceclofenac can potentially cause kidney-related side effects. Aceclofenac is not the same as Ibuprofen or acetaminophen. It has marked anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and has been demonstrated to be an effective and superior analgesic in the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain.
Thiocolchicoside is a muscle relaxant with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, used in the treatment of orthopedic, traumatic, and rheumatologic disorders. Its mechanism of action is unclear, but it is believed to act via antagonism of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, as well as GABAA and glycine receptors. It is safe for adolescents and adults, but caution should be exercised in patients with certain medical conditions. Its combination with Aceclofenac is used to reduce and relieve pain due to muscle spasms associated with various conditions. Thiocolchicoside has long been used as a muscle relaxant, despite a lack of proven efficacy beyond the placebo effect. There are some known side effects of thiocolchicoside, but it is generally considered safe when used as directed under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
