Intramuscular administration of dipyrone for relief of pain is not recommended.However, if medical circumstances require such administration, all due precautions should be exercised to permit reasonable clinical observation. As an antipyretic: Optalgin injection by intramuscular administration is indicated to lower temperature in life-threatening situations, when this cannot be achieved by other means. Hyperthermic patients in critical condition may also be treated in non-hospital environment, under close medical supervision.
