Description
Baralgin is a potent spasmoanalgesic-antipyretic with an antipyretic effect. It acts quickly, literally after 15-20 minutes the toothache goes away and does not return for 4 hours.
This effect is achieved due to the fact that it is absorbed throughout the gastrointestinal tract. It blocks receptors that transmit nerve impulses, thereby eliminating spasm of smooth muscles.
Thanks to the correct composition, it also has a mild anti-inflammatory effect, affecting the retention of salts and water in the body.
Description of the drug
Baralgin is a strong analgesic and antispasmodic.
It effectively reduces body temperature, stopping the process of inflammation, soothing painful symptoms. Baralgin goes on sale in the form of tablets and ampoules for injection. The pharmaceutical composition of the drug has a complex effect on the body, suppressing the manifestations of the disease and increasing a person’s pain threshold.
The drug formula includes the following ingredients:
- Analgin (metamizole sodium) is a non-steroidal drug, an analgesic from the pyrazolone group
- Pitophenone hydrochloride – containing 3 components with anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, myotropic and analgesic effects
- Phenpiverinium bromide is a combined substance with the same effect as the previous ingredient
Anesthetic components accumulate in the blood and, reaching the required concentration, effectively suppress the sensitivity of receptors, the functions of which are responsible for the conduction of nerve impulses (pain signals) to the brain.
Unlike pure analgin, the analgesic effect of baralgin occurs faster and lasts longer
The effect of analgin is significantly enhanced by the remaining components of the medicinal formula, so the analgesic effect is very pronounced. Within 20-25 minutes the patient has the required concentration of active components in the blood and feels their effect, which lasts up to 4 hours.
Attention! Baralgin cannot relieve acute, debilitating toothache. The instructions contain a list of conditions that can be affected by the drug. All of them involve moderate pain.
Therefore, with aching pain, inflammation of the gums and increased sensitivity of the teeth, Baralgin will be able to provide effective assistance to the patient. But if a person is suffering from deep caries, pulpitis or gumboil, the drug will only alleviate the condition, but will not completely relieve the acute pain.
Compound
The main active ingredient is metamizole sodium, known to most as analgin.
Its effect is enhanced several times by combination with pitofenone hydrochloride and fenpiverinium bromide.
Baralgin is produced in:
- Tablets of 20 or 50 pieces per package (dosage 500 mg).
- Ampoules 5 ml for injection, 5 pieces per package (dosage 500 mg/ml).
Description of the medicine
Baralgin is a potent antispasmodic analgesic, reduces fever in the body, and stops the inflammatory process. The medicine is produced in tablet and ampoule versions. The medicinal formula has a complex effect on the body, relieving the symptoms of the disease and reducing sensitivity to pain. The effect of the drug formula is achieved by reducing the functionality of certain receptors responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain.
The concentration of analgesic components in the blood is achieved through the composition of the following medicinal substances:
- analgin;
- pitofenone hydrochloride;
- fenpiverinium bromide.
The active formula of metamizole sodium (analgin) is enhanced by the combination of the above components, which leads to a powerful analgesic effect. After 20 minutes, there is a sufficient amount of medicinal substances in the patient’s blood to achieve the desired result, which lasts about four hours.
Compared to analgin, baralgin does not irritate the gastrointestinal tract due to the analgesic components contained in the tablet. Baralgin is often used for stomach pain, as well as for relieving pain impulses during radiculitis, headaches and migraines.
In practice, tablets are more often used because intramuscular injections are quite painful. To reduce discomfort when administering the drug intramuscularly, the ampoule is heated to a temperature of 36.6 C. Intravenous administration of the drug is used only in emergency cases.
Important! Baralgin should not be used without medical supervision for more than three days. Single dose of baralgin - maximum two capsules (1000 mg)
The daily dose is a maximum of 6 capsules. It is recommended to take the medicine with plenty of water.

Children (solution) are prescribed at a dose of 50-100 mg per 10 kg. A single dose can be used up to three times a day. Before administering the solution, it must be warmed to body temperature.
For children under 12 months of age, injection is carried out only into the muscle (body weight should be from 5 to 9 kg).
It is important to understand whether Baralgin can be used during pregnancy. The use of this drug is contraindicated during pregnancy, since the active substances tend to penetrate through soft tissue and affect the development of the fetus. This is especially dangerous in the first trimester.
The use of the drug in the last months of pregnancy is contraindicated, since the drug tends to reduce the defense of the immune system, which can lead to various diseases. In the second trimester, Baralgin is prescribed with caution. Self-administration of the drug is prohibited!
Side effects
Like any pharmaceutical drug, Baralgin has its side effects. They are mainly associated with allergic reactions to the components. The most dangerous are anaphylactic shock and Quincke's edema, but such manifestations are extremely rare.

Reviews
Oleg, 32 years old
I have been using Baralgin for a very long time; for me it is a medicine that is always in my home medicine cabinet. Of course, I don’t take it all the time, but only if I need to cope with a severe headache or toothache. Her medicine relieves her almost instantly!
Elena, 26 years old
I suffered from abdominal pain for six months until I went to see a general practitioner, who advised me to take Baralgin tablets. They were inexpensive at the pharmacy, so I was skeptical about their analgesic function. But the pharmacist saleswoman convinced me that this remedy is one of the best for spasms. I bought it and finally got rid of my stomach pain. The only side effect I noticed was a decrease in blood pressure.
Elizaveta, 35 years old
Baralgin quickly helps with toothache and headaches. It happens that you need to urgently go about your business, but the pain torments you, then I take one tablet and it all goes away. Of course, I don’t drink it every day, as side effects are possible.
