Analgin: the great deceiver
"The head (teeth, back, stomach, etc.) hurts, I will save no ..."-" Take a pill analgin! How many times have we heard and uttered these words yourself? This year analgin - translated from the Greek "bezbolin - hero of the day. He turns 90 years old. Age seems to be respectable, it's time settle down and quietly live out his days behind the other, young and zealous agents. But why is the history of this ancient medicine still causes so much emotion and controversy, even among doctors?
Enemy and friend number one
Pain - perhaps the most paradoxical manifestation of life. On the one hand, it is absolutely necessary as a signal of illness, injury, mental troubles. On the other - humanity since time immemorial is making an incredible lot of effort to get rid of it. A myriad of drugs of different mechanism of action. Yes, in the end, the same opium and cocaine were created as pain killers and only then became god knows what.
Traditional medicine all over the world has in its arsenal of pain. Various baths and massages, scents and sounds, poultices and lotions, acupuncture and moxibustion, meditation and yoga, prayer, and trance. Modern medicine has added its technology - the intersection of the nerve along which the pain impulse, implantation into the body of special pumps, which are regularly injected into a human dose of medication, the impact of the laser, weak currents, light ... And all the pain lives.
Doubtful character
At first, nothing in analgin alarming. In older references to talk about it just something like "possible idiosyncrasy." But gradually accumulating information about what salvation "bezbolin 'cause unwanted side effects. The most terrible of them - agranulocytosis, ie a decrease in blood leukocytes and granulocytes. This white blood cells that protect our body against all external and internal enemies. Agranulocytosis appears as a terrible sore throat - ulcers in the throat and mouth, fever and severe malaise.
May arise, and various allergic reactions - from the banal to the common cold syndrome, Lyell, in which a man literally goes all the skin. Chance of anaphylactic shock, which kills in seconds.
By 1970, information on adverse events accumulated so much that the risk of death if it is applied calculated at 7%. World Health Organization recommended to abandon the outdated drugs. And many countries listened. By 1990, metamizol sodium ceased to be used in medicine about 40 countries, and many spur of the moment and have stopped production. Although there is still some places it in pharmacies on prescription only.
Genetic myths
Guarding against the criticism, the producers have found an armor-piercing analgin argument. At scientific conferences were telling me that different people react to analgin differently. Due to differences in the gene that is responsible for allergic reactions. They say the Europeans 'soft' variants of the gene have up to 17%, so they banned analgin, but among the Bulgarians are only 3%, and among the Russians and did only 0.1. So we are not afraid of any allergies.
- There is no scientific evidence to this effect does not exist - has destroyed all our dreams professor Pavel Vorobiev.
