USE
Antipyretic and analgesic for fever, headache, joint pain, neuralgia, dysmenorrhea and active rheumatism. Aminopyrine is a pyrazolone non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with strong antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic effects. However, due to serious adverse reactions, such as agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia and so on. Therefore, the clinical application has been decreasing and gradually phasing out. Aminopyrine can also be used as an analytical reagent for the determination of lanthanum, cerium, bromine, cadmium, chlorine, cobalt, ketone, cyanide, gold, iron iodic acid, lead, nickel, nitric acid, nitrite, bismuth, nitrogen oxides, Palladium, platinum, silver and zinc.
