1. What Cleboril is and what it is used for
Cleboril contains cleboprida and belongs to a group of medicines called prokinetics, which regulate gastrointestinal motility.
Cleboril is indicated for:
- Symptomatic treatment of functional gastrointestinal motility disorders in adults and adolescents.
- Symptomatic treatment of postoperative or chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in adults and adolescents.
2. What you need to know before you take Cleboril
Do not take Cleboril:
- If you are allergic to cleboprida or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- If you have bleeding, obstruction or perforation of the gastrointestinal tract, as stimulation of gastric motility may be harmful.
- If you suffer from abnormal and involuntary movements (tardive dyskinesia) that appear in people being treated with a type of medicine called neuroleptics.
- If you suffer from seizures (epilepsy).
- If you suffer from Parkinson's disease or other extrapyramidal disorders (which cause alterations in muscle tone, posture, and the appearance of involuntary movements).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Cleboril:
- If you have severe liver or kidney disease (severe hepatic or renal insufficiency), as it may increase the effect of this medicine.
- If you have certain tumors, such as breast tumors or prolactin-secreting pituitary adenoma, because it may increase the level of a hormone called prolactin in the blood.
- In children, adolescents, and the elderly, the use of doses higher than recommended may increase the possibility of extrapyramidal reactions (alterations in muscle tone, posture, and the appearance of involuntary movements).
Children and adolescents
This medicine must not be used in children under 12 years of age. In newborns, cases of acquired methemoglobinemia (a blood disorder that affects the ability to transport oxygen) due to orthopramides (the group of medicines to which Cleboril belongs) have been described.
Other medicines and Cleboril
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.
It is especially important that you tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:
- Phenothiazines, butyrophenones, and other antidopaminergic medicines (used to treat certain mental illnesses) as Cleboril may increase the effect of these medicines on the central nervous system.
- Digoxin (used to treat heart conditions) and cimetidine (used in situations where it is necessary to decrease acid production by the stomach) as Cleboril decreases their effects.
- Hypnotics (medicines that improve sleep initiation and duration), anxiolytics (reduce anxiety), or narcotics (used to treat moderate or severe pain) as Cleboril may potentiate their sedative effects.
- Anticholinergics (such as atropine, used to relieve stomach cramps or spasms, to treat Parkinson's disease, or to prevent travel sickness) or narcotic analgesics (opioids) because they neutralize the action of Cleboril on gastrointestinal motility.
- MAOIs (used to treat depression), as their use with Cleboril may increase the risk of adverse effects.
Taking Cleboril with alcohol
Avoid taking alcohol while being treated with Cleboril, as it may potentiate its sedative effects.
