Alternative to Novalgin (Metamizol)

Hello

My mother 92 years and 45kg (she also has renal insufficiency) receives 40 drops

of Novalgin in the morning and evening.

I notice that she has increased fatigue. This happens in waves. 30 tired then

briefly awake and tired again. This is how it goes.

What is your opinion on this.Can it be due to the Novalgin, do you have

alternatives. She is receiving the Novalgin for knee pain.

Thanks for your support

The best people to talk about this is a pharmacist as they are the experts about drugs, the side effects and alternatives. They usually know more than many doctors.

Hello Cyberbarn

Thank you very much for your answer.

Yes you are right. We contacted organizations and also specialist.

But wanted to have a 360° opinion.

Take care and keep safe
