"Analgin-quinine" in gynecology

Pain in women during menstruation, for example, with endometriosis, requires the use of various medications in tablet form. The action of the analgesic drug lasts three to four hours after taking the pill. Is "Analgin-Quinine" used for uterine contractions?
The drug is widely used in gynecology. This anesthetic helps to eliminate unpleasant symptoms without having a detrimental effect on the body.
Metamizole is a representative of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The spectrum of exposure is associated with a malfunction of prostaglandins in muscle tissues, which can enhance the sensitivity of painful nerve endings to pain mediators. The number of prostaglandins decreases and pain is inhibited, which is important for algodismenorrhea.
Quinine is an antimalarial drug, one of the effects of which is an increase in uterine contractions. This additional effect of the drug allows the use of "Analgin-quinine" in obstetrics, and not just to eliminate infectious diseases.
