But the injectable form is designed for situations where oral treatment is not considered appropriate, in particular for severe acute pain requiring parenteral treatment. Therefore, it is up to a healthcare professional to decide if this medicine is right for you.

What is Nolotil? How does it work?

Nolotil contains the drug metamizole, used to relieve pain and reduce fever. It can start to have an effect fairly quickly after it is given. According to official technical information, the effect usually occurs approximately 30 minutes after parenteral administration.

But the right dose depends on your age, your weight, your symptoms and your medical condition. Patients should observe the particular directions of their doctor or other qualified health care professional.

Important Safety Information

Nolotil 5 ml is useful in relieving pain and fever but can also have serious side effects. A serious danger is agranulocytosis, a dangerous reduction in some white blood cells that can lead to serious or life-threatening infections.

If you develop symptoms such as fever, chills, sore throat, or painful sores in the mouth, nose, throat, genital area or anal area during treatment, seek urgent medical advice. Agammaglobulinemia due to metamizole or similar drugs is not to be taken again by people who have had it.

Administration & Dosage:

Nolotil 5 ml is an injectable preparation and should not be self-administered by the patient, except where specifically instructed to do so by a qualified healthcare professional and the relevant medical setting permits. Official information states that the dosing should be the lowest dose that controls pain or fever.

The healthcare professional also considers the patient’s individual situation when determining a dose. That means you should not take a different dose, or take it more often, than your doctor tells you to.
