The removal of metamizol-based products in US was completely about money and to promote Tylenol. Check pubmed for peer-reviewed journals comparing their safety profile. Tylenol/Advil, etc. are way more dangerous, involved in an alarming number of hospitalizations. The dosage of metamizol (dipyrone) in Neosaldina is safe enough. Those reports of agranulocytosis are nowhere near epidemiologically representative. It's a pity we don't have the same autonomy to choose here in US. Suffering from a migraine right now and can't take anything OTC here or my ulcers would cause way too much pain :(

Metamizol is banned in US and UK. A 66 yr old Irish man died when prescribed the drug while travelling in Spain; it seriously depleted his white blood cells. Be careful when taking something from another country. However, I wish more drugs were over the counter in US.

Re: Glen (# 13) 
Glen, you got it right for migraine sufferers! During my 10 yrs in Brazil it alleviated my pain much better, with little to no side effects, than any of the medication prescribed to me on the US. Helped with muscle spasms too! When we travel to Brasil to visit in-laws I always bring some back.
