Neuralgin and Neuralgin Rx two different medicines
Neuralgin and Neuralgin Rx are two different medicines, containing different ingredients. Neuralgin Rx should be redirected to Metamizole, not Neuralgin – can someone responsible for the redirection change that please?

Neuralgin consists of Acetaminophen (Paracetamol), Aspirin, Caffeine but Neuralgin Rx consists of Caffeine, Metamizole, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Hydrochloride), Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride). One source in English is http://www.medicatione.com/ and in German language http://www.apotheken-umschau.de/do/extern/medfinder/medikament-arzneimittel-information-Neuralgin-Tabletten-AABHEB.html.

I became interested in this because my Indonesian wife treated a severe headache with Neuralgin Rx in Indonesia, and I've read on the package that it contains Metamizole (called Methampyrone) together with B1, B6, B12 and caffeine. Neuralgin Rx is sold over the counter in Indonesia, but doctors there recommends it for only short term use because of the Metamizole side effects. In Sweden, where she lives now, Metamizole, sold as Novalgine, was withdrawn from the market 1999 because of serious blood side effects (Sweden has never had medicines named Neuralgin or Neuralgin Rx). But I once bought the more harmless Neuralgin OTC in Germany to treat moderate joint pain. So it is Neuralgin Rx which contains Metamizole should be redirected to Metamizole, not Neuralgin.--Caspiax 12:03, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
