The components of the drug are well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract.
Metamizol sodium: in the intestinal wall hydrolyses to form an active metabolite, 4-methyl-amino-antipyrine, which in turn is metabolized to 4-formyl-amino-antipyrine and other metabolites. The level of binding of the active metabolite with proteins is 50-60%. Excretion of metabolites passes through the kidneys. In addition, metabolites are excreted in breast milk.
Naproxen: bioavailability is 95%. It binds to blood proteins. The half-life is 12-15 hours. It is excreted in the urine mainly in the form of a metabolite (dimethylnaproxen), in small amounts - with bile.
Caffeine: well absorbed in the intestine, half-life -5h (sometimes - up to 10 hours). It is excreted mainly by kidneys in the form of metabolites, about 10% - in unchanged form.
Codeine: slightly binds to plasma proteins. It is subject to biotransformation in the liver (10% by demethylation passes into morphine). Excreted by the kidneys (5-15% - unchanged).
Phenobarbital: bioavailability is 80%. In plasma it binds to proteins by 50%, it penetrates well through the placenta. Biotransformatsya in the liver. The main metabolite does not have pharmacological activity. It is excreted by the kidneys, including 20-25% - unchanged.
