Below are answers to the most common questions about Spasmalgon.

Can I Take Spasmalgon During My Period?

Yes, Spasmalgon helps with menstrual cramps. If you experience spasms, pain, and general discomfort during menstruation, a doctor may recommend taking Spasmalgon. The suggested daily dose is up to 3 tablets unless your healthcare provider prescribes a different regimen.

How Fast Does Spasmalgon Work?

Spasmalgon usually starts working within 20–30 minutes, and its peak effect occurs between 1 and 1.5 hours. That’s why many people choose Spasmalgon for headache relief, especially in cases of migraines or tension-related pain.

Is Spasmalgon Safe During Pregnancy?

Spasmalgon is not recommended for pregnant women. It’s especially unsafe during early pregnancy and after the 34th week. If a doctor prescribes it, the potential benefits must significantly outweigh any risks.

When Should I Take Spasmalgon: Before or After Meals?

Take Spasmalgon after meals, and drink plenty of water to reduce irritation of the digestive tract. The typical dosage is 1–2 tablets per intake, and the dose can be repeated after 6–8 hours if needed. Do not exceed 6 tablets per day.

What’s Better: No-Spa or Spasmalgon?

Both No-Spa and Spasmalgon have antispasmodic effects. No-Spa contains drotaverine and works purely as a muscle relaxant without painkilling properties. Spasmalgon has both a muscle relaxant and analgesic effect, making it more suitable for intense pain.

What’s Better: Renalgan or Spasmalgon?

Renalgan and Spasmalgon share a similar active component—metamizole sodium. Renalgan is often used for kidney colic or urinary tract pain. Spasmalgon is more commonly taken for headaches, abdominal spasms, and menstrual discomfort. If you're looking specifically for spasmalgon for headache, this option may be better suited.

Although Spasmalgon is not a hypotensive agent, it may lower blood pressure slightly in cases where vascular spasms cause headaches. This is due to its effect on smooth muscle relaxation.

If you're experiencing spasms, also check out medications for stomach pain or anti-inflammatory products depending on the source of your discomfort.

Always follow your doctor’s recommendations for Spasmalgon dosage. The amount may vary depending on your condition. It’s especially important for people with chronic illnesses to seek medical advice before starting treatment.
