Apart from these, this drug has shown positive results when prescribed for the treatment of Reiter's syndrome, Bartter syndrome and Paget's disease. Antalgin may also be prescribed for patients that are suffering from pseudogout, pericarditis, dysmenorrheal, bursitis or tendonitis. This drug is also effective for the management of such affections as nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, hemicrania continua, paroxysmal hemicrania and migraine, but it may also be used in the management of symptoms such as pain and fever associated with malignancies.

Blood pressure should be measured in order to check for hypertension. As part of the regular testing, blood cell counts, serum electrolyte measurements of the sodium, chloride and potassium and assessment of renal and liver functions should be performed, especially in the case of patients that are being administered Antalgin in combination with a potassium-sparing diuretic or an ACE inhibitor; this is useful in order to detect or prevent development of kidney failure or hyperkalemia.
