According to the last summary of product characteristics approved in Serbia (2017), Baralgetas was indicated only for short-term use in severe cramping pain when other non-opioid painkillers had not been effective. All information on this page comes from the official documents listed in the sources.

What was Baralgetas used for?
According to the summary of product characteristics, Baralgetas was intended only for short-term use, when treatment with other non-opioid painkillers had failed, in:
- severe acute pain due to spasm of smooth muscle – cramps in the digestive tract, biliary and renal colic
- severe pain with spasms in gynaecological surgery

Dosing was determined by a doctor; this page does not give recommendations for using a medicine that is no longer on the market.
Important safety information from the official documents
- The medicine must not be used in case of hypersensitivity to pyrazolones (metamizole, propyphenazone, etc.) or pyrazolidine derivatives, asthma or hives caused by painkillers, impaired bone marrow function or blood disorders, acute intermittent porphyria, or congenital glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
- Very rarely, metamizole can cause agranulocytosis – a severe, life-threatening drop in white blood cells.
- The medicine can cause a drop in blood pressure (hypotensive reaction).
- The tablets contained lactose and sodium.
What is available in Serbia?
There is no registered medicine in Serbia with the combination of metamizole, pitofenone and fenpiverinium. Medicines with metamizole alone and other painkillers and antispasmodics exist, but they are not the same combination and are dispensed with a doctor's advice or prescription. Severe cramping abdominal pain and biliary or renal colic require a medical examination.
| Option | What it is | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Medical examination | finding the cause of cramping pain | essential for colic, severe pain or pain with fever |
| Registered painkillers and antispasmodics | medicines with a different composition | choice and dose according to the advice of a doctor or pharmacist |
| Products for menstrual complaints | food supplements | not a medicine; may be a complement for milder complaints |
When to seek medical help immediately?
- high fever, sore throat or mouth ulcers after taking metamizole (a possible sign of agranulocytosis)
- swelling of the face, lips or throat, difficulty breathing, hives
- dizziness, fainting or cold sweat (drop in blood pressure)
- severe abdominal pain that does not ease, with vomiting or yellowing of the skin
Pharmacist's advice
If you used Baralgetas in the past for painful periods or colic, tell your doctor or pharmacist whether you have ever had a reaction to metamizole or other painkillers – this is essential for choosing new treatment.
Recurrent severe menstrual pain needs a gynaecological examination, not just a stronger painkiller.
