藥效學

1. Bendazole: Bendazole has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It blocks cyclooxygenase, which leads to a decrease in the formation of prostaglandins responsible for inflammation and pain. This helps reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
2. Metamizole sodium (analgin): Metamizole sodium has anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic effects. It reduces the formation of prostaglandins, which leads to reduced pain and inflammation.
3. Papaverine hydrochloride: Papaverine is a myotropic antispasmodic. It relaxes the smooth muscles of blood vessels, the gastrointestinal tract and other organs, which helps relieve spasms and improve blood circulation.
4. Phenobarbital: Phenobarbital is a barbiturate that has sedative and anticonvulsant effects. It reduces the excitability of the central nervous system, which can help relieve nervous tension and improve sleep quality.

The combination of these components allows the drug to have a wide spectrum of action and be used to relieve various types of pain and spasms.

劑量和管理

1. For Adults: The usual dose for adults is 1-2 tablets (or capsules) of Andipal up to 3 times daily. For greater pain or spasm relief, your doctor may recommend increasing the dosage to 2 tablets (or capsules) per dose. The maximum daily dose usually does not exceed 6 tablets (or capsules).

3. For elderly patients: For elderly patients, it is usually recommended to start with a lower dosage due to possible increased sensitivity to the drug and increased risk of side effects.
4. Dosage: Tablets (or capsules) should be taken orally with a glass of water. The injection solution is administered intramuscularly or intravenously only by a doctor or medical specialist.
5. Duration of treatment: The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor depending on the nature and severity of the disease. Andipal is usually used short-term to relieve symptoms.

在懷孕期間使用 Andipala

1. Metamizole sodium:

   • Metamizole sodium is not recommended for use during pregnancy due to limited safety data and a possible risk of agranulocytosis (low granulocyte count in the blood), a serious side effect. Studies suggest that metamizole use in the first trimester may increase the risk of congenital anomalies (Dathe et al., 2017).

2. Phenobarbital:

   • Phenobarbital, used as an anticonvulsant, may cause developmental delays and changes in neuroendocrine function in offspring. Animal studies have shown that phenobarbital may impair reproductive function and delay the onset of puberty in offspring exposed to phenobarbital prenatally (Gupta & Yaffe, 1981).
   • Phenobarbital can also reduce the production of gonadotropic hormones, which is important for maintaining pregnancy, and can lead to termination of pregnancy (Patil & Rao, 1982).

3. Papaverine hydrochloride:

   • There is insufficient data on the effect of papaverine hydrochloride on pregnancy. However, it is known to relax smooth muscles and may affect the uterus. The use of papaverine should be carefully justified by a doctor.

4. Bendazole:

   • Bendazole has immunomodulatory and vasodilating properties. There is insufficient data on its safety during pregnancy, which requires caution when using it.

2. Severe hepatic or renal impairment: Because the drug is metabolized and eliminated primarily through the liver and kidneys, patients with severe impairment of these organs may be at risk for accumulation of active metabolites or other metabolic byproducts.
3. Hypertension: The drug should be used with caution in patients with hypertension due to the possible effect on blood pressure.
4. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The use of Andipal during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be discussed with your doctor, since its safety in these cases may not have been sufficiently studied.
