Contents of the pack and further information

1. What is Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA and what is it used for

This medicine contains acetylsalicylic acid, which at low doses belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are small blood cells that produce blood clotting and are involved in thrombosis. When a blood clot forms in an artery, it stops blood flow and cuts off oxygen supply. When this happens in the heart, it can cause a heart attack or angina; in the brain, it can cause a stroke.

Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA is taken to reduce the risk of thrombus formation and consequently prevent:

  • heart attacks
  • strokes
  • cardiovascular problems in patients with stable or unstable angina (a type of chest pain).

Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA is also used to prevent thrombus formation after certain types of heart surgery to widen or unblock blood vessels.

This medicine is not recommended for emergency cases. It can only be used as a preventive treatment.

2. What you need to know before you take Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA

Do not take Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA:

  • if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to acetylsalicylic acid or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • if you are allergic to other salicylates or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are often used for arthritis or rheumatism and pain
  • if you have had an asthma attack or swelling of some parts of the body, e.g. face, lips, throat or tongue (angioedema) after taking salicylates or NSAIDs
  • if you currently have or have ever had a stomach or small intestine ulcer or any other type of bleeding such as a stroke
  • if you have ever had a problem with your blood not clotting properly
  • if you have severe liver or kidney problems
  • if you are in the last three months of pregnancy, you should not use doses higher than 100 mg per day (see section "Pregnancy and breastfeeding")
  • if you are taking a medicine called methotrexate (e.g. to treat cancer or rheumatoid arthritis) in doses higher than 15 mg per week

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA, inform your doctor:

  • if you have kidney, liver or heart problems
  • if you have or have ever had stomach or small intestine problems
  • if you have high blood pressure
  • if you are asthmatic, have hay fever, nasal polyps or other chronic respiratory diseases; acetylsalicylic acid may induce an asthma attack
  • if you have ever had gout
  • if you have heavy menstrual periods

You should consult a doctor immediately if your symptoms worsen or if you experience serious or unexpected side effects, e.g. unusual bleeding symptoms, severe skin reactions or any other sign of severe allergy (see section "Possible side effects").

Inform your doctor if you have scheduled surgery (even minor surgery, such as tooth extraction) as acetylsalicylic acid is an anticoagulant, and there may be an increased risk of bleeding.

Acetylsalicylic acid can cause Reye's syndrome when administered to children. Reye's syndrome is a very rare disease that affects the brain and liver and can be life-threatening. For this reason, Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA should not be given to children under 16 years of age, unless indicated by a doctor.

You should be careful not to become dehydrated (you may feel thirsty and have a dry mouth) as using acetylsalicylic acid at the same time may cause kidney function to deteriorate.

This medicine is not suitable for relieving pain or reducing fever.

If you are in any of the above cases, or if you are not sure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment with Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA 100 mg.

Taking Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA with other medicines

Inform your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking, have recently taken or may take any other medicines.

The effect of treatment may be influenced if acetylsalicylic acid is taken at the same time as other medicines used to:

  • prevent blood clots (e.g. warfarin, heparin, clopidogrel)
  • prevent organ rejection after transplantation (cyclosporin, tacrolimus)
  • treat high blood pressure (e.g. diuretics and ACE inhibitors)
  • regulate heart rhythm (digoxin)
  • treat manic-depressive disorder (lithium)
  • relieve pain and inflammation (e.g. NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, or steroids)
  • treat gout (e.g. probenecid)
  • treat epilepsy (valproate, phenytoin)
  • treat glaucoma (acetazolamide)
  • treat cancer or rheumatoid arthritis (methotrexate; in doses less than 15 mg per week)
  • treat diabetes (e.g. glibenclamide)
  • treat depression (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as sertraline or paroxetine)
  • are used as hormone replacement therapy when adrenal or pituitary glands have been destroyed or removed, or medicines to treat inflammation, including rheumatic and inflammatory bowel diseases (corticosteroids)
  • if administered concomitantly with metamizole, it may reduce the effect of acetylsalicylic acid to decrease platelet aggregation (antiplatelet) and therefore should be used with caution in patients taking it to protect the heart (cardioprotector)

Taking Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA with alcohol

Drinking alcohol may possibly increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and prolong bleeding time.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you continue or start treatment with Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA during pregnancy, following your doctor's instructions, use Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA as indicated by your doctor and do not use a dose higher than recommended.

Pregnancy - last trimester

Do not take Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA at doses higher than 100 mg per day if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus or cause problems during delivery. It may cause kidney and heart problems in the fetus. It may affect your and your baby's tendency to bleed, and delay or prolong delivery more than expected.

If you take Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA at low doses (up to 100 mg per day), you will need strict obstetric monitoring as indicated by your doctor.

Pregnancy - first and second trimester

You should not take Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is absolutely necessary and as indicated by your doctor. If you need treatment during this period or while trying to become pregnant, you should take the minimum dose for the shortest possible time. From the 20th week of pregnancy, if taken for more than a few days, Acetylsalicylic Acid TEVA may cause kidney problems in your fetus, which may lead to low levels of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby (oligohydramnios) or narrowing of a blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) in the baby's heart. If you need treatment during a period longer than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional monitoring.
