    • Medicines that have an anticoagulant effect (that is, thinning the blood / preventing it from clotting, e.g. acetylsalicylic acid, warfarin, ticlopidine)
    • Medicines that lower high blood pressure (ACE inhibitors such as captopril, beta blockers such as atenolol-containing medicines, angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as losartan)
  • Some other medicines may also affect, or be affected by, treatment with this medicine. You should therefore always seek the advice of your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine with other medicines.
  • The effect of the drugs or groups of drugs listed below can be influenced by simultaneous treatment with this drug.

    • Tacrolimus: There is a risk of damaging your kidneys.
    • Potassium-sparing water tablets (certain diuretics): If taken at the same time, the potassium level in the blood may increase.
    • Sulphonylureas (used to lower blood sugar): Although interactions between ibuprofen and sulphonylureas, unlike other NSAIDs, have not yet been described, your blood sugar levels should be checked as a precaution when taking them at the same time.
    • Anticoagulants: There have been individual reports of interactions between ibuprofen and anticoagulants. In the case of simultaneous treatment, it is recommended to check the coagulation status.
• Consumption with alcohol
  • Avoid drinking alcohol while using this medicine, as side effects, especially those affecting the gastrointestinal tract or the central nervous system, will be aggravated.

EUDORLIN extra ibuprofen pain tablets Patient information

• Warnings and Precautions
  • Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
  • Side effects can be reduced by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time necessary to control symptoms.
  • Ask a doctor for advice before taking this medicine if you have any of the following conditions.
  • Safety in the gastrointestinal tract
    • Concomitant use of this medicinal product with other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including drugs called COX-2 inhibitors (cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors), should be avoided.
    • Elderly patients
      • Older people are more likely to experience side effects after using NSAIDs, especially bleeding and perforation in the stomach and intestines, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, particularly careful medical supervision is required in the elderly.
    • Bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, ulcers and perforations
      • Bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract, ulcers, and perforations, including fatal results, have been reported during treatment with all NSAIDs. They occurred with or without prior warning symptoms or a history of serious gastrointestinal events at any time during therapy.
      • The risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcer, and perforation is higher with increasing NSAID doses, in patients with a history of ulcer, particularly those with bleeding or perforation complications, and in the elderly. These patients should start treatment with the lowest dose available. For these patients as well as for patients who require concomitant therapy with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or other drugs that can increase the risk of gastrointestinal diseases, a combination therapy with drugs that protect the gastric mucosa (e.g. misoprostol or Proton pump inhibitors) should be considered.
      • If you have a history of gastrointestinal side effects, especially if you are older, you should report any unusual abdominal symptoms (especially gastrointestinal bleeding), especially at the beginning of therapy.
      • Caution is advised if you are also receiving medicines that may increase the risk of ulcers or bleeding, such as: B. oral corticosteroids, anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which are used, among other things, to treat depressive moods, or platelet aggregation inhibitors such as ASA.
      • If you develop gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration while taking the medicine, treatment should be discontinued.
      • NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) as their condition may worsen.
  • Effects on the cardiovascular system
    • Anti-inflammatory / pain relievers like ibuprofen may be associated with a slightly increased risk of heart attack or stroke, especially when used in high doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment.
    • You should discuss your treatment with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine, if you
      • have a heart disease including heart failure (heart failure) and angina (chest pain) or have a heart attack, bypass surgery, peripheral arterial disease (blood flow problems in the legs or feet due to narrowed or blocked arteries) or any type of stroke (including mini-stroke or transitory ischemic attack, "TIA"),
      • Have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or a history of heart disease or stroke, or if you are a smoker.
  • Skin reactions
    • Serious skin reactions with redness and blistering, some fatal, have been reported very rarely with NSAID therapy (exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis / Lyell syndrome).
    • The highest risk of such reactions appears to be at the start of therapy, as these reactions occurred in the majority of cases in the first month of treatment. At the first signs of skin rashes, mucosal defects or other signs of a hypersensitivity reaction, this medicinal product should be discontinued and a doctor should be consulted immediately.
  • Other notes
    • This medicinal product should only be used after careful consideration of the risk-benefit ratio
      • in certain autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed collagenosis). There is an increased risk of developing symptoms of non-infectious meningitis (aseptic meningitis).
    • Particularly careful medical supervision is required
      • a history of gastrointestinal disorders or chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease)
      • if you have high blood pressure or heart failure
      • with impaired kidney or liver function
      • immediately after major surgical interventions
      • if you have allergies (e.g. skin reactions to other drugs, asthma, hay fever), chronic swelling of the nasal mucous membrane or chronic respiratory diseases that narrow the airways
    • Severe acute hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. anaphylactic shock) are very rarely observed. At the first signs of a severe hypersensitivity reaction after taking this medicine, stop taking it immediately and seek medical advice.
    • The active substance in this medicine, ibuprofen, may temporarily inhibit the function of blood platelets (platelet aggregation). Patients with bleeding disorders should therefore be carefully monitored.
    • If medicinal products containing ibuprofen are used at the same time, the anticoagulant effect of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (preventing blood clots from forming) may be impaired. In this case, you should therefore not use ibuprofen-containing medicinal products without your doctor's express advice.
    • If you are taking medicines to inhibit blood clotting or to lower blood sugar at the same time, blood clotting or blood sugar levels should be checked as a precaution.
    • If the drug is administered for a long time, regular monitoring of the liver values, kidney function and blood count is required.
    • Consult your doctor or dentist if you take it before surgery.
    • Prolonged use of any type of pain reliever for headaches can make them worse. If this is the case or is suspected, medical advice should be sought and treatment should be discontinued. The diagnosis of Medication Overuse Headache (MOH) should be suspected in patients who experience frequent or daily headaches despite (or perhaps because of) taking regular headache medicines.
    • In general, the habitual use of painkillers, especially when combining several pain relievers, can lead to permanent kidney damage with the risk of kidney failure (analgesic nephropathy).
    • The use of this medicine should be avoided during chickenpox (varicella) infection.
  • Children and adolescents
    • There is a risk of kidney problems in children and adolescents who are dehydrated.

     

• Driving and using machines
  • As central nervous side effects such as tiredness and dizziness can occur when using this medicinal product in higher doses, the ability to react can be changed in individual cases and the ability to actively drive and operate machines can be impaired. This applies even more in combination with alcohol. You can then no longer react quickly and purposefully enough to unexpected and sudden events. In this case, do not drive a car or any other vehicle! Do not use any tools or machines! Do not work without a safe grip!
