1. What is Airtal and what is it used for
Airtal contains aceclofenac, which has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antirheumatic properties.
Your doctor will prescribe this medicine for the treatment of inflammatory and painful conditions such as lower back pain (lumbalgia), toothache (odontalgia), and joint pain (periarthritis of the shoulder and extra-articular rheumatism). Airtal is also indicated for the chronic treatment of pain and inflammation associated with chronic joint conditions: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
2. What you need to know before you take Airtal
It is important to use the smallest dose that relieves your pain and do not take this medicine for longer than necessary to control your symptoms.
Do not take Airtal
- If you are in the third trimester of pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding.
- If you are allergic to aceclofenac or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- If acetylsalicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have caused you asthma, rhinitis, urticaria, or other allergic reactions.
- If you have had a stomach or duodenal ulcer or have suffered a perforation of the digestive tract.
- If you have bleeding or coagulation problems (you bleed easily).
- If you have severe kidney problems.
- If you have severe liver problems.
- If you have established heart disease and/or cerebrovascular disease, for example, if you have had a heart attack, stroke, transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or blockages in the blood vessels of the heart or brain, or have had surgery to remove a blockage or perform a coronary bypass.
- If you have had problems with blood circulation (peripheral arterial disease).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to take this medicine:
- If you have had or developed an ulcer, bleeding, or perforation in the stomach or duodenum, which may be manifested by severe and persistent abdominal pain and/or black stools, or even without previous warning symptoms.
This risk is higher when using high doses and prolonged treatments, in patients with a history of peptic ulcers, and in elderly patients. In these cases, your doctor will consider the possibility of associating a stomach protective medication.
Elderly patients suffer from a higher incidence of adverse effects, specifically gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation (in some cases fatal).
- If you have any liver disease.
- If you have kidney problems.
- If you have heart problems or have had a stroke.
- If you smoke.
- If you have diabetes.
- If you have angina, blood clots, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high triglycerides.
This medicine may be associated with an increased risk of heart attacks ("myocardial infarctions"). Adverse effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment.
Also, this medicine may cause fluid retention, especially in patients with heart failure and/or high blood pressure (hypertension).
- If you have blood disorders.
- If you are taking medications that alter blood coagulation, such as oral anticoagulants like warfarin, or antiplatelet agents like acetylsalicylic acid, tell your doctor. You should also discuss the use of other medications that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as corticosteroids and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
- If you have Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, as this medicine may worsen these conditions.
- If you are recovering from major surgery.
- If you have had or still have bronchial asthma.
- In case of chickenpox, you should avoid using this medicine because, in rare cases, severe skin infections can occur.
- Hypersensitivity reactions may occur, and very rarely, severe allergic reactions (see section 4. Possible side effects). The risk is higher during the first month of treatment. Stop treatment immediately if you experience any symptoms of skin rash, mucosal lesions, or other signs of hypersensitivity.
Consult your doctor, even if any of the above circumstances have occurred to you in the past.

You should not take Airtal during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is absolutely necessary and your doctor advises you to do so. If you need treatment during this period or while trying to become pregnant, you should use the lowest dose for the shortest possible time. If you take this medicine for more than a few days from the 20th week of pregnancy, it may cause kidney problems in your unborn baby, which can 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 for more than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional monitoring.
For women of childbearing age, it should be noted that this medicine has been associated with a decrease in fertility.
