If a child has a high temperature and this poses a danger to his health, you have to resort to emergency methods of dealing with fever, which include injections of several medications. The most common and frequently used combination by physicians is Analgin with Diphenhydramine. When should children be injected with it, in what proportion are such drugs usually used, and how to give an injection correctly?

Features of drugs

Analgin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Its solution is available in ampoules with a capacity of 1 ml, as well as 2 ml. The concentration of the active substance, represented by metamizole sodium, in such a solution is 25% or 50%. One package contains 5 or 10 ampoules. Their composition includes only the active substance and sterile water.

Analgin can be administered both intravenously and into muscle tissue, but intravenous administration is carried out only in a hospital setting. Doing an intravenous injection of such a drug at home is unacceptable. In addition to the injection form, Analgin is available in suppositories with different dosages and tablets.

The active substance in the solution for injection Diphenhydramine is represented by diphenhydramine. It is an antihistamine drug that affects the H1 receptors that are sensitive to histamine. Ampoules contain 1 ml of solution, and the active compound is presented at a concentration of 10 mg. They are sold in cardboard packs of 10 pieces. Diphenhydramine is also available in tablet form, 50 mg diphenhydramine per tablet.

The drug is intended for both intramuscular and intravenous injections. At the same time, the introduction into a vein, as for Analgin, should be strictly under the supervision of physicians, therefore, such injections are prescribed only in hospitals. At home, the drug is allowed to inject only into the muscles.

Why are they assigned together?

Used in combination, Diphenhydramine and Analgin enhance the therapeutic effect of each other. Since these drugs, administered at the same time, very quickly help with high temperature, this mixture is called lytic. Analgin in the composition of such a mixture has not only an antipyretic, but also an analgesic effect.

As for Diphenhydramine, its task is to eliminate puffiness and relax smooth muscles. In addition, this medication has a sedative effect and prevents an allergic reaction to the administration of a mixture of drugs.

The effect of the injection is observed 10-15 minutes after intramuscular injection of drugs. The effect of the injection lasts up to 4 hours in most patients. The main indication for the use of this combination of drugs is the risk of high fever to children. The injection is often given at very high rates (above 39 degrees) and an increased risk of seizures.

From what age can you?

The instruction allows the use of Analgin in babies older than three months, but at an early age this medication is prescribed strictly according to the indications and control of physicians. Giving an injection to a child younger than 2-3 years old on your own is dangerous. If the injection is given to a child under one year old, it should only be administered intramuscularly.

A solution of Dimedrol is allowed in pediatrics from 1 year. If it is necessary to give an injection to children 3-12 months old, the drug is replaced by Suprastin, since a solution of this antihistamine drug can be administered intramuscularly to infants older than one month.

When should you not inject?

An injection of a lytic mixture is contraindicated:

• with intolerance to any component;
• with problems with hematopoiesis;
• with serious liver diseases;
• with renal failure;
• in case of bronchospasm;
• with diabetes.

It is also forbidden to inject with acute pain in the abdomen, if the diagnosis has not yet been determined (elimination of pain may prevent the correct determination of their cause and worsen the child's condition).

The use of an injection requires caution and medical supervision if a small patient has an injury, bronchial asthma, allergies, and hypotension. If there is even the slightest risk to the health of the baby, you should abandon Analgin and choose a safer antipyretic drug for children, for example, Paracetamol.

Side effect

An injection of Analgin together with Diphenhydramine is capable of:

• greatly lower body temperature for a long period;
• provoke an allergic reaction;
• reduce blood pressure;
• cause fainting;
• disrupt the digestive tract;
• worsen the production of leukocytes, which in some cases leads to agranulocytosis.

An overdose of drugs causes shortness of breath, abdominal pain, drowsiness, convulsions, hemorrhages and other dangerous symptoms. Often, a child with an overdose of Analgin with Diphenhydramine needs to be hospitalized in order to maintain vital functions in the hospital.

Dosage

If the child is not yet 8 years old, the dose of Analgin for him is best calculated by weight. To determine the daily amount of such a medicine, the child's weight in kilograms is multiplied by 5 or 10. This calculation accurately determines the amount of metamizole sodium in milligrams that is acceptable for a particular baby.

The resulting amount is divided into 2-3 single doses. However, they should not exceed 100 mg for babies under the age of three and 200 mg for children aged three to eight years. For a child over 8 years old, a single dose of Analgin is 250-300 mg of its active substance, and at 14 years of age and older it rises to 500 mg.

The dosage of the solution for injection Diphenhydramine is determined by the age of the child:

• If the crumb is from 1 to 3 years old, then 0.5 ml of the drug is administered, but the dose, if necessary, can be increased to 1 ml of the drug.
• For children 4-6 years old, the dose of the solution for one injection is from 1 to 1.5 ml.
• At the age of 7 to 14 years, 1.5-3 ml of the drug is taken per injection.

How is an injection made?

For manipulation, you should take a sterile syringe with a long needle. The ampoule and the skin at the injection site must be disinfected, for example, lubricated with medical alcohol. Ampoules with medicines should be held in your hand for some time before opening so that the solution warms up a little.

The instruction does not recommend mixing Analgin with other drugs, therefore, for an injection, you should first draw this medication and inject it into the muscle, and then, leaving the needle in the body, draw Diphenhydramine into the same syringe and inject it through the same needle. However, in practice, simultaneous administration is often resorted to. Having opened the ampoules, each drug is drawn in turn into one syringe. It is usually advised to dial Analgin, and then dilute it with Diphenhydramine.

It is best to inject drugs into the muscle of the thigh or shoulder, so that the medicines are sure to get into the muscle tissue. If drugs are injected into or under the skin, it will cause irritation or an inflammatory reaction. For this reason, an injection in the gluteal region is less preferable, because the gluteal muscles are located quite deeply.

In this article, you can read the instructions for using the drug Analgin. Reviews of site visitors - consumers of this medicine, as well as opinions of doctors of specialists on the use of Analgin in their practice are presented. A big request to actively add your reviews about the drug: did the medicine help or not help get rid of the disease, what complications and side effects were observed, perhaps not declared by the manufacturer in the annotation. Analogues of Analgin in the presence of existing structural analogues. Use to treat pain and reduce fever in adults, children, and pregnancy and lactation. Combinations of analgin with other drugs (diphenhydramine, suprastin, aspirin, but shpa or drotaverine) for complex therapy.

Analgin- analgesic-antipyretic. Metamizole sodium (the active substance of the drug Analgin) is a pyrazolone derivative and has analgesic, antipyretic and weak anti-inflammatory effects, the mechanism of which is associated with inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis due to COX inhibition.

Analgin is banned for use in most countries of Western Europe, as an anesthetic and antipyretic agent due to the threat of agranulocytosis, and the main consumer of this drug has recently been Russia and the CIS countries.

Pharmacokinetics

After oral administration, metamizole sodium is rapidly hydrolyzed in gastric juice to form the active metabolite 4-methyl-amino-antipyrine, which, after absorption, is metabolized to 4-formyl-amino-antipyrine and other metabolites. After intravenous administration, metamizole sodium quickly becomes inaccessible for determination. Metabolites of metamizole sodium do not bind to plasma proteins. The largest part of the dose is excreted in the urine in the form of metabolites. Metabolites are excreted in breast milk.

Indications

• pain syndrome of various etiologies (including headache, neuralgia, arthralgia, myalgia, myositis, algomenorrhea, postoperative pain);
• renal and biliary colic (in combination with antispasmodics (but shpa or drotaverine));
• febrile conditions in infectious and inflammatory diseases.

Release forms

Tablets 500 mg.

Candles for rectal use for children 100 mg.

Solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration (injections in ampoules for injection) 50%.

Instructions for use and dosage

Inside or rectally, adults are prescribed 250-500 mg 2-3 times a day. The maximum single dose is 1 g, the daily dose is 3 g. Single doses for children aged 2-3 years are 50-100 mg; 4-5 years - 100-200 mg; 6-7 years - 200 mg; 8-14 years - 250-300 mg; the multiplicity of reception - 2-3 times a day.

Intramuscularly or intravenously slowly for adults - 250-500 mg 2-3 times a day. The maximum single dose is 1 g, the daily dose is 2 g. In children, it is used parenterally at a dose of 50-100 mg per 10 kg of body weight.

Side effect

• skin rash;
• angioedema;
• anaphylactic shock;
• leukopenia, agranulocytosis;
• infiltrates at the injection site (with intramuscular injection).

• hypersensitivity to pyrazolone derivatives.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Use with caution during pregnancy, especially in the 1st trimester and in the last 6 weeks.

special instructions

With prolonged use, it is necessary to control the picture of peripheral blood.

Metamizole sodium is used in combination with pitophenone and fenpiverinium bromide as an analgesic with antispasmodic action.

Use with caution in children in the first 3 months of life.

drug interaction

With simultaneous use with analgesics, antipyretics, with NSAIDs, mutual enhancement of toxic effects is possible.

With simultaneous use with inducers of microsomal liver enzymes, the effectiveness of metamizole sodium may decrease.

With simultaneous use, the activity of indirect anticoagulants, oral hypoglycemic drugs, GCS, indomethacin increases due to their displacement from the connection with blood proteins under the influence of metamizole sodium.

With simultaneous use with phenothiazine derivatives, severe hyperthermia is possible; with sedatives, anxiolytics - the analgesic effect of metamizole sodium is enhanced; with tricyclic antidepressants, oral contraceptives, allopurinol - the metabolism of metamizole sodium is disturbed and its toxicity increases; with caffeine - the effect of metamizole sodium is enhanced; with cyclosporine - the concentration of cyclosporine in the blood plasma decreases.

When metamizole sodium is used in combination with pitophenone hydrochloride (it has a direct myotropic effect on the smooth muscles of internal organs and causes its relaxation) and with fenpiverinium bromide (m-anticholinergic blocker), their pharmacological action is mutually enhanced, which is accompanied by a decrease in pain syndrome, relaxation of smooth muscles and decrease in elevated body temperature.

Analogues of the drug Analgin

Instructions for the medical use of the drug

Description of the pharmacological action

It inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase and reduces the formation of endoperoxides, PG, free radicals, inhibits lipid peroxidation.

Indications for use

Pain (headache, neuralgia, sciatica, myalgia) and febrile syndromes.

Release form

solution for injection 25%; ampoule 1 ml with ampoule knife, cardboard pack 10.
solution for injection 25%; ampoule 2 ml, cardboard pack 10.
solution for injection 25%; ampoule 2 ml with ampoule knife, cardboard pack 10.
solution for injection 50%; ampoule 2 ml with ampoule knife, cardboard pack 10.

Pharmacodynamics

It inhibits the activity of cyclooxygenase, reduces the formation of endoperoxides, bradykinins, some PGs, free radicals, and inhibits lipid peroxidation. It prevents the conduction of painful extra- and proprioceptive impulses along the Gaulle and Burdach bundles, increases the excitability threshold of the thalamic centers of pain sensitivity, and increases heat transfer.

Pharmacokinetics

When taken orally, it is rapidly and completely absorbed. In the intestinal wall, it is hydrolyzed to form an active metabolite - unchanged metamizole is absent in the blood (only after intravenous administration, its insignificant concentrations are found in plasma). The level of binding of the active metabolite to proteins is 50-60%. Destroyed in the liver. Excretion passes through the kidneys.

The action develops in 20-40 minutes and reaches a maximum after 2 hours.

Use during pregnancy

Contraindicated in pregnancy (especially in the first trimester and in the last 6 weeks). At the time of treatment should stop breastfeeding.

Contraindications for use

Hypersensitivity, oppression of hematopoiesis (agranulocytosis, cytostatic or infectious neutropenia), severe violations of the liver or kidneys, prostaglandin bronchial asthma, hereditary hemolytic anemia associated with deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, pregnancy, lactation.

Side effects

Granulocytopenia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, hemorrhages, hypotension, interstitial nephritis, allergic reactions (including Stevens-Johnson, Lyell syndromes, bronchospasm, anaphylactic shock).

Dosage and administration

In / m or / in (with severe pain) - 1-2 ml of a 50% solution 2-3 times a day, the maximum dose is 2 g / day. Inside, after meals - 0.25-0.5 g 2-3 times a day.

Overdose

Symptoms: with prolonged use of the drug (more than 7 days) in high doses - nausea, vomiting, gastralgia, oliguria, hypothermia, decreased blood pressure, tachycardia, shortness of breath, tinnitus, drowsiness, delirium, impaired consciousness, agranulocytosis, hemorrhagic syndrome, acute renal and / or liver failure, convulsions, paralysis of the respiratory muscles.

Treatment: induce vomiting, do gastric lavage, take saline laxatives, activated charcoal. In the conditions of a medical institution - carrying out forced diuresis, hemodialysis, with the development of a convulsive syndrome - in / in the introduction of diazepam and barbiturates.

Interactions with other drugs

The effect is enhanced by barbiturates, codeine, caffeine, H2-antihistamines, propranolol (slows down inactivation). Sarcolysin and thiamazole increase the likelihood of developing leukopenia. Sedatives and tranquilizers enhance the analgesic effect of metamizole sodium. Tricyclic antidepressants, oral contraceptives, allopurinol disrupt metabolism and increase toxicity. Simultaneous use with other antipyretic analgesics, NSAIDs can lead to mutual enhancement of toxic effects, with chlorpromazine or other phenothiazine derivatives - to the development of severe hyperthermia. Myelotoxic drugs increase the manifestation of hematotoxicity of metamizole sodium. Phenylbutazone and other inducers of microsomal liver enzymes weaken the action.

Metamizole sodium, displacing from the connection with blood proteins, increases the activity of oral hypoglycemic drugs, indirect anticoagulants, GC, indomethacin. Enhances the sedative effect of alcohol. Reduces the concentration of cyclosporine in plasma. Radiopaque agents, colloidal blood substitutes and penicillin should not be used during treatment with metamizole sodium. Due to the high likelihood of pharmaceutical incompatibility, it cannot be mixed with other drugs in the same syringe.

Precautions for use

Hypersensitivity reactions may develop in patients suffering from bronchial asthma and hay fever.

With prolonged use (more than 7 days), it is necessary to control the picture of peripheral blood.

Do not use to relieve acute pain in the abdomen (until the causes are clarified).

In the treatment of children under 5 years of age and patients receiving cytostatic agents, taking metamizole sodium should be carried out only under the supervision of a physician.

Special care is required when prescribing to patients who abuse alcoholic beverages.

For children and adolescents under 18 years of age, use only as directed by a doctor.

Storage conditions

List B.: In a dry, dark place.

Injections are a much faster way for a drug to get into the body. The medicine in the form of a solution after the injection immediately enters the bloodstream, bypassing the long way through the esophagus, therefore, in especially severe cases or acute exacerbations, doctors prescribe injections. Most often this concerns medicines for pain relief or fever reduction. An example is Analgin in ampoules.

In contact with

pharmachologic effect

Analgin is an analgesic that is included in the group of anti-inflammatory drugs and is used to reduce fever, as well as relieve acute pain. It is usually prescribed to reduce pain and stop inflammation in the body. This is not a drug or a steroid, so it can be safely used if there are no obvious contraindications.

Available as:

• tablets;
• solution for injection;
• anal suppositories.

The most popular form of administration is tablets, but injections are much more effective, which are often prescribed for inflammation and acute colds.

Their speed of action is due to the speed at which the drug enters the bloodstream.

Injections are made into a muscle or vein.

Analgin's solution - colorless, sealed in glass ampoules and stored in a package with individual cells (usually up to 10 pcs.), which also contains an instruction leaflet.

• metamizole sodium (in 1 ml - 500 mg);
• purified water.

It's important to know! When ingested, the drug is rapidly absorbed and broken down in the liver into active and auxiliary substances.

Metamizole sodium stops pain impulses and makes a person's pain threshold higher, so that he stops feeling pain altogether. At the same time, it relieves inflammation and lowers body temperature. How long does an analgin injection work? The therapeutic effect begins half an hour to forty minutes after the injection, and the maximum effect is achieved after 1.5–2 hours. The remains of the product are excreted by the kidneys within 3-8 hours after the injection.

Application

Instructions for use clearly lists all requirements, indications and risk groups of the drug.

There is also an order of introduction:

1. Prepare everything you need.
2. Disinfect hands.

5. Draw up the required amount of medicine with a syringe.
6. Release the air from the syringe.
7. Wipe the place where the injection is made with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol (most often it is the buttock or thigh).
8. With a sharp movement, drive the needle into the muscle and gradually inject the medicine inside.

You should be aware that in ampoules, the instructions for use indicate the need for slow administration of the drug, usually 500 mg of the solution is administered in less than a minute. If you enter it faster, then there will be side effects.

Indications

The solution for injection is prescribed by doctors for such problems:

• fever
• acute or chronic pain syndrome after infectious and inflammatory diseases;
• renal or hepatic colic;
• pain in muscles and joints;
• pain with neuralgia, sciatica, trauma, burns or after surgery.

The medicine also helps with migraines and toothaches.

Contraindications

The medicine has serious contraindications, therefore, before use, you should carefully read their list and do not use the medicine if even one of them is present.

Important! Do not try to treat yourself and prescribe a drug without knowing why - this can cause serious side effects and lead to health problems.

Contraindications are as follows:

• renal failure and pyelonephritis;
• problems with the function of hematopoiesis;
• liver failure;
• anemia;
• bronchospasm in history;
• optic neuritis;
• allergic reactions in the past to anti-inflammatory compounds;
• myasthenia gravis with muscle weakness;
• individual intolerance to the components of the drug.

Analgin-Darnitsa is not recommended for women in position or breastfeeding, also for children under 4 months and weighing less than 5 kg. Patients with bronchitis, urticaria, rhinitis and eye diseases should also use the medicine with extreme caution. In the presence of bronchospasm, along with injections, you should also have means for inhalation.

Dosage

Analgin in solution is administered intramuscularly, and in case of severe pain - intravenously. It should be noted that the temperature of the suspension should correspond to body temperature, and the rate of injection into the body should not exceed 1 ml per minute. It is best to give an injection to a patient who is lying and at this time to control his pressure and heartbeat.

It's important to know! If the drug is administered too quickly, the patient's blood pressure may drop sharply and go into shock.

No more than 2 g of the substance should enter the body per day, while only 1 g can be administered per injection.

The dosage for adults and children is different:

• children from 1-15 years old - 5-10 mg per 1 kg of weight no more than 3 times a day;
• adults - 250-500 mg up to 3 times a day.

For children maximum dose of the substance per day - 1.5 g, you should also know that up to 1 year old children can be given medication, but under the supervision and with the permission of the attending physician, no longer than three days.

Is it possible to drink analgin in liquid form. Yes, you can, usually in this form it is given to children to quickly bring down the temperature.

In this case, you need to know the daily rate of the active substance and correctly calculate how much you can drink (25% solution: 1 ml - 250 mg of the substance, 50% solution: 1 ml 500 mg).

It is not worth diluting the drug, but since it is very bitter, an exception can be made for children - dilute the drug with water in a ratio of 1: 2. One ampoule of a 50% solution is equal to 2 tablets in terms of the amount of active substance.

Side effects

With the rapid introduction of the drug, as well as in the presence of obvious contraindications, some side effects may develop:

• there will be thrombocytopenia or agranulocytosis in the hematopoietic system;
• there will be serious malfunctions in the work of the kidneys and proteinuria or anuria will occur;
• blood pressure drops sharply;
• allergic reactions (rash, swelling, spasms) will occur.

If you do not follow the dosage medicine, the body temperature can rise sharply, vomiting and heart palpitations begin, while the pressure drops sharply and the person begins to suffocate. You can start to lose consciousness, your head will become heavy, and your thoughts will be confused, there will be tinnitus. A serious consequence will be disturbances in the functioning of the liver and kidneys, as well as paralysis of the respiratory muscles.

To cope with the consequences of an overdose, the patient will need to wash the stomach, induce vomiting and undergo hemodialysis. The doctor should prescribe the appropriate drugs to stop the effects of an overdose.

Conclusion

Analgin in ampoules is extremely effective in acute pain or chronic syndrome, which is why it is so often prescribed by doctors. But it should be remembered that it only soothes the pain, but does not treat the underlying cause of the disease. After stopping the pain syndrome, you should undergo a comprehensive examination and identify the true cause of the pain, which must be treated.

Analgin is a drug that has analgesic properties. This drug has not only a pain reduction syndrome, but also helps to reduce the temperature at elevated values. An early drug such as analgin was used for both adults and children. Today, the opinions of experts are divided, as there are fears that the drug is not safe for the child's body. Is it possible to give analgin to children at a temperature, as well as the features of its use, we will find out in more detail.

Can children give analgin?

Instructions for use due to the fact that a drug such as analgin, a child can be given starting from 3 months. There are many different opinions about whether analgin is possible for children. Some specialists argue that it is possible to give analgin to a child only if there are serious indications, while other doctors recommend using the remedy only after the baby is one year old.

It's important to know! Despite the fact that there are many different opinions about whether analgin can be given to children, it must be understood that its composition has a negative effect on the body. It is possible to give a medicine to a child only if there are appropriate indications for this.

Having figured out the question of whether the drug can be used for children, it should be noted that babies older than 1 year old use the drug in the form of rectal suppositories. Analgin tablets are given to children over the age of 5 years. It is at this age that the child is able to swallow a pill. Injections or liquid analgin can be given to children from a temperature that exceeds the mark on the thermometer above 39-40 degrees.

In what cases is it forbidden to give analgin to children

Before giving the baby analgin at a high temperature, you should make sure that there are no contraindications. Contraindications include:

• bronchospasm;
• blood diseases;
• kidney failure;
• hereditary hemolytic anemia;
• "aspirin" asthma;
• in the presence of acute pain in the abdomen, especially before the diagnosis.

Before using the used drug, you should read the description in the instructions for use. Particular attention should be paid when the patient has signs of allergic reactions. If analgin for children from temperature causes side symptoms, then it is necessary to abandon its further use.

Features of the effect of the drug

Analgin for children can be used in exceptional cases when it is necessary to bring down the temperature of the child. The main active ingredient of analgin is the component metamizole sodium. Thanks to this component, pain impulses are eliminated, which increases the level of demand for the drug. Often analgin in tablets is used in the development of dental, headache, muscle and other types of pain. Specialists prescribe this medication after operations, as well as for burns, wounds and injuries.

In addition to all of the above, it is important to note that analgin brings down the temperature. This is due to the antipyretic effect that is characteristic of the drug. It follows from this that with an increase in temperature above 39-40 degrees, they resort to the use of the medication in question for one purpose, in order to reduce severe fever. Common causes of fever are:

• viral diseases;
• childhood infectious diseases;
• bacterial types of ailments;
• teething;
• response of the body to vaccination;
• allergic reaction.

To reduce the temperature, it is enough to take the drug inside. After taking the active substance is quickly absorbed by the body, so the first signs of improvement are observed after 20-30 minutes. If an injection of analgin is given, then a positive effect is observed after 10-15 minutes. How long does the drug bring down the temperature in children? Often there is a decrease in intense heat for a period of 4 to 6 hours.

Forms of release of the drug

It was mentioned above that the drug is available in three different versions:

1. Tablets. They are round and white shells that are placed in jars or blisters of 10 pieces. One tablet contains 500 mg of metamizole. In addition, the auxiliary components of analgin tablets are: talc, calcium stearate, povidone.
2. Rectal suppositories. Suppositories have a bullet-shaped form, which are painted white with a yellow tint. Suppositories are packed in 5 pieces per blister. The pack contains 10 candles. The dosage of suppositories is of two types: 100 and 250 mg.
3. In ampoules for injections. The concentration of the active substance in the ampoules is 25% and 50%. At the same time, ampoules are produced in 1 ml and 2 ml. Analgin in ampoules is used for intramuscular and intravenous administration if indicated.

It's important to know! How and when to use analgin for children, you need to check with a specialist.

Children's dosage of analgin

How to give analgin to children of different ages? If there are appropriate indications, as well as high temperature in children, it is required to resort to the use of medication. The dosage of analgin for children at high temperature in the form of injections is calculated by the weight of the baby. In this case, it is necessary to multiply the body weight of the crumbs by 5-10 mg of the drug. The resulting value is the daily rate of the drug. The resulting value should be divided by 2-3 times intramuscular injection per day.

At 3 years old, the daily dosage of the drug is 50-100 mg, at 4-6 years old - 100-200 mg, and over the age of 7-8 years - 200 mg. In this way, the daily dosage of analgin from temperature for children is calculated. Until the age of three, the dosage of the drug is calculated according to the above analogy. Children from 13 years of age are prescribed 250-300 mg of the drug per day, and over 14-15 years old, doctors set the dosage of this medication to 500 mg.

Does analgin in the form of rectal suppositories bring down the temperature? This form of medication not only reduces fever, but is also recommended for use in children over the age of three months.
