- Digoxin (medicine to strengthen the heart),

- Acetylsalicylic acid and other anti-inflammatory pain relievers, including so-called cyclooxygenase inhibitors (COX-2 inhibitors [non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs / anti-inflammatory drugs]), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (drugs used to treat depressive moods) and cortisone preparations: there is an increased risk of blood ulcers (glucocortic drugs) Gastrointestinal tract.

EUDORLIN migraine film-coated tablets Patient information
-
Warnings and Precautions
- Side effects can be reduced by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest time necessary to control symptoms.
-
Safety in the gastrointestinal tract
- Concomitant use with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including so-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 of 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 during treatment, the treatment should be stopped immediately and a doctor should be contacted.
- 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
- Medicines like this may be associated with a slightly increased risk of heart attack ("myocardial infarction") or stroke. Any risk is more likely with high doses and longer treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment (see "Dosage" category for maximum duration) !
- If you have heart problems or a history of stroke, or think you may be at risk for these conditions (e.g. if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol or are a smoker), you should talk to your doctor or Pharmacist talking.
-
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 sign of skin rashes, mucosal defects or other signs of a hypersensitivity reaction, the drug should be discontinued and a doctor should be consulted immediately.
-
Other notes
- Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
- The medicinal product should only be used after carefully weighing the risk-benefit ratio in certain autoimmune diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus and mixed connective tissue disease).
-
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 it, you must stop taking the drug immediately and consult a doctor.
- Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in the drug, can 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 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
- Please note the information under the "Contraindication" category.
- There is a risk of kidney problems in children and adolescents who are dehydrated.
