if the patient has a bleeding disorder,

Warnings and precautions

Before starting to use Nipas, the patient should discuss it with their dental surgeon.
Particular caution should be exercised in patients taking anticoagulant medicines.

Nipas and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
Acetylsalicylic acid is an antagonist of vitamin K, weakening its effect and potentially causing hypoprothrombinemia, reducing blood clotting.
Nipas can be used in combination with antibiotics or sulfonamides.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding, thinks they may be pregnant, or plans to have a child, they should consult their doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.
Pregnancy
Nipas should not be used in the third trimester of pregnancy. It should be used with caution in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy.
Breastfeeding
It is not recommended to breastfeed during long-term treatment with high doses of acetylsalicylic acid. Short-term use or single doses of the medicine do not pose a risk to the breastfed infant.

Driving and operating machinery

Nipas used as recommended does not affect psychophysical fitness, the ability to drive vehicles, or operate machinery.

Nipas contains propyl parahydroxybenzoate

The medicine may cause allergic reactions (possible late reactions).

Nipas contains lactose monohydrate

If the patient has previously been diagnosed with intolerance to some sugars, they should consult their doctor before taking the medicine.

3. How to use Nipas

Nipas is intended for use only by dental surgeons.
After initial rinsing of the alveolar socket with warm 3% sodium bicarbonate solution or 0.9% sodium chloride solution (physiological saline solution), without prior scraping, 1 to 3 tablets are placed in the alveolar socket. Then, the alveolar socket is covered with a tampon for 20 minutes. After this time, the tablets swell and dissolve, covering the nerve endings and protecting the alveolar socket walls from saliva.
