Despite the presence of a children's form, many parents doubt the necessity of giving analgin to children. Many have heard that the drug has an adverse effect on the functioning of the heart muscle. It really is. This medication is strong enough, and therefore jokes with him are bad. In no case should you take it without the appointment of a doctor, and even more so engage in self-medication and uncontrolled treatment of the child. Only a doctor can prescribe analgin. What to replace in case of individual intolerance, he will also determine. In addition, based on the patient’s condition, the specialist will determine the dosage of the medicine, prescribe the duration of treatment and the type of drug that is most suitable for a particular person: tablets or injections.
It is important to know and remember if a child has something sick: a head or tooth, and there is a desire to give him pain medication, then it should not be analgin, but something else, preferably prescribed by the doctor to this particular baby. Due to many complications and contraindications, analgin only a doctor can prescribe. If the drug is still prescribed, then, as a rule, for a very short period, until the pain passes. The doctor, at this time, will look for the cause of the pain syndrome, since analgin does not treat anything, but only drowns out the pain caused by any malfunctions in the body.
It is important to know that among the medicines manufactured by the pharmaceutical industry there is an alternative to this drug, therefore, if possible, it is better to replace it with other painkillers.
