Taking other medicines:

Metamizole sodium monohydrate contained in the product, like aminophenazone can displace oral anticoagulants, oral antidiabetics, phenytoin and sulfonamides from the protein binding.
Metamizole sodium monohydrate increases the metabolism of cyclosporine, which leads to a reduction of its concentration in the blood serum.
