E-drug: Banning metamisole in Moldova (7) ------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Natalia The Australian Therapeutics Guidelines: Analgesic, would be a good reference for you. It is produced by a non-profit independent group called Therapeutic Guidelines Inc. It covers the range of analgesics used in Australia and describes their different roles. There is a great chapter called Getting to Know Your Drugs. We don't use injectable analgesics except in hospital-type settings and we have never used dipyrone/metamizole and have managed quite well. As mentioned by Leo Offerhaus, naproxen and similar NSAIDs are found useful in Australia To access the Analgesic Guidelines you can contact "Mary Hemming" \ Best wishes Beverley Beverley Snell International Health Unit Macfarlane Burnet Institute for Medical Research & Public Health P O Box 254 Fairfield Vic Australia 3078 Telephone 613 9282 2115 / 9282 2275 Fax 613 9482 3123 Time zone: 11 hours ahead of GMT. email \ -- To send a message to E-Drug, write to: e-drug@usa.healthnet.org To subscribe or unsubscribe, write to: majordomo@usa.healthnet.org in the body of the message type: subscribe e-drug OR unsubscribe e-drug To contact a person, send a message to: owner-e-drug@usa.healthnet.org Information and archives: [http://www.healthnet.org/programs/edrug.html](http://www.healthnet.org/programs/edrug.html)
