. In addition to the above effects, Analgin reduces high fever in infectious and inflammatory diseases. When it is used together with other analgesics, the effect is mutually enhanced. In addition, sedatives and tranquilizers increase the analgesic effect of metamizole sodium.
Is it possible to drink the product while breastfeeding?
The official instructions for use of Analgin classify it as a prohibited drug during lactation due to high toxicity and the risk of allergies, including anaphylactic shock in a woman or child. 85% of infants whose mothers used the drug experienced negative manifestations on the skin in the form of spots, rashes, and peeling. Analgin negatively affects the composition of the blood, the functioning of the liver and kidneys.
Analgin is a painkiller that can cause serious problems in the body of a nursing mother and her child.
If acute pain occurs that is difficult to endure, and there is nothing in the home medicine cabinet except Analgin, then a single dose of the tablet is allowed. The daily dose for a nursing mother should not exceed 1 g (2 tablets). It is better to take the medicine immediately after feeding. The next time it is recommended to put the baby to the breast after 3-4 hours, when the concentration of the drug in the blood is the lowest. If possible, you should seek help from a doctor as soon as possible to find out the causes of pain.
If you take the drug for a long time as prescribed by a doctor, you need to stop breastfeeding. If you need to take Analgin for a week, it is important to monitor the condition of your blood and liver.
Ibuprofen and Paracetamol, as well as drugs based on these substances, are considered safer, medications that have a mild effect on the body of mother and child and do not cause side effects:
- Nurofen;
- Ibuklin;
- Cefekon D;
- Calpol;
- Efferalgan;
- Panadol and others

If possible, it is better to use traditional methods instead of chemicals. For example, for toothache, you can rinse your mouth with herbal decoctions (chamomile, sage) or saline solution. Headaches can be relieved in the following ways:
- temple massage;
- contrast shower;
- sweet tea based on medicinal herbs (mint, lemon balm);
- relaxation and rest.
In Germany, Analgin drugs are sold only with a doctor's prescription.
Contraindications and side effects
A very small percentage of patients consider it necessary to read the instructions for the medicine. Most people easily throw it away. And it is not included with the blister of 10 tablets at all. What is important to know about contraindications and side effects of the popular analgesic:
- It is unacceptable to take Analgin for acute abdominal pain until its causes are identified;
- possible inhibition of the hematopoietic system;
- in case of renal impairment, doses should be reduced, since the elimination of the drug from the body may slow down;
- patients with heart disease are advised to take analgesics under strict supervision;
- Allergy sufferers are at risk of developing anaphylactic shock;
- Analgin should not be taken during breastfeeding.
Danger for nursing mothers
One of the possible consequences is drug allergies. During the period of breastfeeding, it is especially necessary for the mother to avoid drugs that can provoke it.
According to medical observations, after repeated use of Analgin, nursing mothers or their children showed signs of urticaria, rash, Quincke's edema, asthma attacks, peeling of the skin [3, p. 855].
The most severe allergic reaction that can lead to death in a patient is anaphylactic shock [3, 855], which is manifested by the following symptoms:
- pale skin;
- cyanosis of mucous membranes;
- cold sweat;
- swelling of the face and throat;
- labored breathing;
- a sharp drop in pressure;
- heart rhythm failure.
You should immediately call an ambulance if the mother or child develops similar symptoms after feeding. Only a medical professional can provide qualified assistance, for example, by injecting adrenaline intramuscularly.
Another possible complication after taking Analgin by a nursing mother is problems with the kidneys and liver. Disorders of the respiratory system develop much less frequently: difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness due to lack of oxygen. [13]
Expert opinion
Sokolova L. S.
Pediatrician of the highest category
In a situation where the mother, for one reason or another, has acute, unbearable pain, and there is nothing at hand except Analgin, one tablet (500 mg) is allowed. In this case, you need to first feed the baby and then take the medicine. The next feeding can be done only after 3-4 hours, so that the concentration of metamizole in the blood and milk decreases. At the first opportunity, a woman should consult a doctor to eliminate the causes of pain.
Composition of the drug
The main active ingredient of Analgin is metamizole sodium. This substance passes into breast milk, so even a small dose may cause health problems for the baby.

Reviews about the drug
Paracetamol, Nurofen and Spazmalgon (drank half). But it’s better not to need analgin, of all painkillers it is the most harmful... It’s generally better to take it at a high temperature as an ambulance and that’s all.
