1. What is Nefopam Jelfa and what is it used for

Nefopam is a non-narcotic analgesic weaker than morphine but stronger than acetylsalicylic acid. It is a strong inhibitor of serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake. At higher doses, nefopam also exhibits anticholinergic, antihistamine, and local anesthetic effects.

Indications

  • Mild and moderate acute pain, e.g., postoperative pain.
  • Moderate chronic pain, e.g., pain in cancer patients.

2. Important information before taking Nefopam Jelfa

When not to take Nefopam Jelfa

  • if you are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (certain antidepressants) or have taken them in the last two weeks.

Warnings and precautions

Before taking Nefopam Jelfa, discuss it with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse. Be particularly careful when taking this medicine if you have:

  • liver or kidney disease (except in cases of severe kidney failure, no dose adjustment is necessary),
  • are elderly (start with a lower dose due to the increased risk of side effects, such as hallucinations, disorientation),
  • have an enlarged prostate and difficulty urinating.

Nefopam may cause:

  • pink discoloration of urine, which is not a sign of hematuria (red blood cells in urine) or kidney damage,
  • asymptomatic increase in aminotransferase activity (liver function should be monitored during long-term treatment).

Children and adolescents

Do not use in children under 12 years old.

Nefopam Jelfa and other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking, have recently taken, or might take. Concomitant use of nefopam with certain antidepressants (monoamine oxidase inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants) may cause serious consequences: hyperthermia, malignant hypertension, tachycardia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Nefopam may enhance the effects of anticholinergic or sympathomimetic medicines, increasing their side effects. Nefopam used with paracetamol may increase the risk of liver damage. Do not use Nefopam Jelfa with:

  • sedatives,
  • antihistamines (anti-allergic medicines), although interactions have not been proven.

Reserpine (used to treat hypertension) may reduce the analgesic effect of nefopam.

Nefopam Jelfa with food, drink, and alcohol

See also section 3. No interaction with alcohol has been proven, but you should not drink alcohol while taking nefopam.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. Use during pregnancyDue to the uncertain safety of using this medicine during pregnancy, nefopam should only be used if absolutely necessary and when no other medicine can be used. Use during breastfeedingNefopam passes into breast milk, so you should not take this medicine while breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

Nefopam may cause both stimulation and euphoria, as well as a sedative effect. Therefore, patients taking nefopam should not drive or operate machinery.

3. How to take Nefopam Jelfa

In case of overdose, seizures, excitement, hallucinations, tachycardia, increased body temperature, excessive sweating, and cardiac arrhythmias may occur. In such a situation, seek medical help immediately. Emergency treatment for overdose involves laying the patient on their side, ensuring a clear airway. If the patient is conscious, induce vomiting by giving 1-2 glasses of warm salt water (2 teaspoons of salt in a glass of water). This method is only applicable to adults and children over 12 years old.
