Introduction
Phloroglucinol can generally be administered by intramuscular injection and is effective in relieving pain caused by smooth muscle spasms. In addition, phloroglucinol should not be used concomitantly with metamizole, as it may cause thrombophlebitis, nor should it be combined with morphine or its derivatives, due to the risk of inducing spasms. Therefore, medications must always be used correctly under the guidance of a physician.
Phloroglucinol can generally be administered by intramuscular injection and is highly effective in relieving pain caused by smooth muscle spasms.
Phloroglucinol is an organic compound and belongs to the class of gastrointestinal antispasmodic drugs. It acts on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and urogenital system. When pain arises due to smooth muscle spasm, phloroglucinol can be used for treatment, providing excellent relief from spastic pain. Phloroglucinol can be administered via either intramuscular or intravenous injection. Compared with other analgesics, this drug rarely causes side effects such as hypotension or arrhythmia. It has a rapid onset of action and fast metabolism, making it a very safe medication—even pregnant women experiencing uterine spasms and associated pain can use it. It is commonly used to treat acute spasmodic conditions such as ureteral colic, renal colic, and gynecological spasms.
In addition, phloroglucinol should not be used concomitantly with metamizole, as this may lead to thrombophlebitis. It should also not be combined with morphine or its derivatives, as these may induce spasms. Therefore, medication use must be based on individual circumstances and strictly follow medical guidance for proper application.
