Measures to minimise serious outcomes of known side effect with painkiller metamizole

On 18 September 2024, the CMDh endorsed the measures recommended by EMA’s safety committee, PRAC, to minimise the serious outcomes of agranulocytosis, a known side effect caused by the painkiller metamizole.

Agranulocytosis involves a sudden and sharp decrease in granulocytes, a type of white blood cell, that can lead to serious or even fatal infections.

The committee recommended that healthcare professionals must inform patients to stop taking these medicines and seek immediate medical attention if they develop symptoms of agranulocytosis.

These include fever, chills, sore throat and painful sores on the moist, inner body surfaces (mucosa), especially in the mouth, nose and throat or in the genital or anal regions.

Patients must remain alert for these symptoms both during and shortly after stopping treatment.

The PRAC concluded that the benefits of metamizole medicines continue to outweigh the risks.
