1. What is Zahron ASA and what is it used for

Zahron ASA contains two active substances - rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid.

  • Rosuvastatin belongs to a group of substances called statins, which are lipid-regulating medicines used to lower the level of lipids (fats) such as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when a low-fat diet and lifestyle changes on their own have not been enough. Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can cause narrowing of the blood vessels in the heart, leading to coronary artery disease. If you are at risk of having another heart attack, rosuvastatin can also be used to reduce this risk, even if your cholesterol level is normal. You should keep to a standard cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this medicine.
  • Acetylsalicylic acid in low doses belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are small blood cells that cause blood to clot and participate in thrombosis. When a blood clot forms in an artery, it can block the flow of blood and cut off the supply of oxygen. If this happens in the heart, it can cause a heart attack or angina. These two active substances taken together reduce the risk of having another heart attack if you have had a heart attack or if you have had episodes of chest pain (unstable angina). Zahron ASA is indicated for patients who are already taking rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid in these doses. Instead of taking rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid as separate tablets, the patient receives one capsule of Zahron ASA containing both ingredients at the same strength as previously used.

2. Important information before taking Zahron ASA

When not to take Zahron ASA:

  • If you are allergic to rosuvastatin, acetylsalicylic acid, any other salicylates or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you have been diagnosed with hypersensitivity to peanuts or soya (see below).
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you become pregnant while taking Zahron ASA, you should stop taking it immediately and inform your doctor. Women should avoid becoming pregnant while taking Zahron ASA by using appropriate contraception.
  • If you have liver disease.
  • If you have severe kidney disease.
  • If you have had repeated or unexplained muscle pain, muscle problems in you or your family, or muscle problems while taking other cholesterol-lowering medicines.
  • If you are taking a combination of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (used to treat a viral infection of the liver called hepatitis C).
  • If you are taking a medicine called ciclosporin (used, for example, after organ transplantation).
  • If you have had an asthma attack or swelling of some parts of the body (e.g. face, lips, throat or tongue) after taking salicylates or NSAIDs.
  • If you have had stomach or duodenal ulcers or any other bleeding, such as a stroke.
  • If you have had bleeding disorders.
  • If you have gout.
  • If you have uncontrolled heart failure.
  • If you are taking a medicine called methotrexate (e.g. for cancer or rheumatoid arthritis) at doses greater than 15 mg per week.
  • If you have had a severe skin rash or peeling and blistering of the skin and mucous membranes after taking Zahron ASA or other similar medicines.

Warnings and precautions

You should discuss the use of Zahron ASA with your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment

  • If you have kidney problems.
  • If you have liver problems.
  • If you have had repeated or unexplained muscle pain, muscle problems in you or your family, or muscle problems while taking other cholesterol-lowering medicines. You should tell your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, especially if you feel unwell or have a fever. You should also tell your doctor if you experience persistent muscle weakness.
  • If you regularly drink large amounts of alcohol.
  • If your thyroid gland does not work properly.
  • If you are taking other medicines, called fibrates, to lower your cholesterol level. You should carefully read the leaflet, even if you have taken other cholesterol-lowering medicines before.
  • If you are taking medicines for HIV infection, e.g. ritonavir with lopinavir and/or atazanavir, see "Zahron ASA with other medicines".
  • If you are taking or have taken in the last 7 days a medicine containing fusidic acid (used to treat bacterial infections) orally or by injection; taking Zahron ASA with fusidic acid may lead to serious muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis); see "Zahron ASA with other medicines".
  • It is possible that the risk of side effects affecting the muscles may be higher when daptomycin is taken during treatment with Zahron ASA. Your doctor will decide whether to stop daptomycin or temporarily discontinue Zahron ASA.

and

  • If you have severe respiratory failure.
  • If you are over 70 years old.
  • If you are of Asian origin (i.e. Japan, China, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea and India). Your doctor will choose an appropriate starting dose of Zahron ASA for you.
  • If you currently have or have had stomach or duodenal ulcers or bleeding (gastrointestinal bleeding).
  • If you are taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at the same time, such as ibuprofen and naproxen (painkillers, antipyretics or anti-inflammatory drugs).
  • If you have high blood pressure.
  • If you have asthma, hay fever, nasal polyps or other chronic respiratory diseases; acetylsalicylic acid may cause an asthma attack.
  • In case of hypersensitivity (allergy) to other painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, other anti-rheumatic drugs or other allergens.
  • If you have other allergies (e.g. skin reactions, itching).
  • If you are taking other anticoagulant medicines (e.g. coumarin derivatives, heparin - except for low-dose heparin).
  • In case of impaired kidney function or reduced blood flow to the heart and blood vessels (e.g. kidney vessel disease, heart muscle weakness, reduced blood volume, major surgery, blood poisoning or increased bleeding): acetylsalicylic acid may further increase the risk of kidney function disorders and acute kidney failure.
  • If you have heavy menstrual bleeding.
  • If you have or have had myasthenia (a disease that causes general muscle weakness, including in some cases muscles involved in breathing) or ocular myasthenia (a disease that causes muscle weakness in the eyes), as statins may sometimes exacerbate the symptoms of the disease or lead to the development of myasthenia (see section 4).

You should immediately consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen or if you experience severe or unexpected side effects, e.g. unusual bleeding symptoms, severe skin reactions or any other symptoms of severe allergy (see "Possible side effects").
Metamizole (a substance with analgesic and antipyretic effects) may reduce the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation (clumping of blood cells and formation of a clot) if these medicines are taken at the same time. Therefore, caution should be exercised when taking metamizole in patients receiving low-dose acetylsalicylic acid for heart protection.
In a small number of people, statins may affect the liver. This is identified by a simple blood test that detects elevated liver enzyme activity. For this reason, your doctor will usually recommend that you have this blood test (liver function test) before and during treatment with Zahron ASA.
During treatment with this medicine, your doctor will closely monitor your condition if you have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes. The risk of developing diabetes is likely if you have high blood sugar and fat levels, are overweight and have high blood pressure.
You should be careful not to become dehydrated (you may feel thirsty with dry mouth) as taking acetylsalicylic acid at the same time may worsen kidney function.
You should inform your doctor if you are planning to have surgery (even minor, e.g. tooth extraction), as acetylsalicylic acid thins the blood and may increase the risk of bleeding.
Acetylsalicylic acid may cause Reye's syndrome when given to children. Reye's syndrome is a very rare disease that affects the brain and liver and can be fatal. Therefore, Zahron ASA should not be given to children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
In patients with severe glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: acetylsalicylic acid may cause accelerated breakdown or breakdown of red blood cells or a certain form of anemia. This risk may be caused by factors such as high doses, fever or acute infections.
Low doses of acetylsalicylic acid reduce the excretion of uric acid. This may cause a gout attack in patients at risk.
In case of injury or trauma, bleeding may take a little longer than usual. This is due to the effect of acetylsalicylic acid. Minor injuries and trauma (e.g. during shaving) are usually not significant. If you experience unusual bleeding (in an unusual location or lasting longer than usual), you should contact your doctor.
With the use of rosuvastatin, serious skin reactions have been reported, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). If you experience any of the symptoms described in section 4, you should stop taking Zahron ASA and contact your doctor immediately.
Medicines containing acetylsalicylic acid should not be taken for a long time or in high doses without consulting a doctor.

Children and adolescents

Zahron ASA should not be used in children and adolescents.

Zahron ASA with other medicines

You should tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking now or have taken recently, as well as any medicines you plan to take.
Zahron ASA may affect other medicines or other medicines may affect it:

  • fibrates (such as gemfibrozil, fenofibrate) or other medicines used to lower cholesterol levels (such as ezetimibe),
  • antacids (used to neutralize stomach acid),
  • oral contraceptives (the pill),
  • hormone replacement therapy,
  • fostamatinib (used to treat low platelet count),
  • febuxostat (used to treat and prevent high levels of uric acid in the blood),
  • teriflunomide (used to treat multiple sclerosis),
  • regorafenib (used to treat cancer),
  • darolutamide (used to treat cancer),
  • kampatynib (used to treat cancer),
  • any of the following medicines used to treat viral infections, including HIV or hepatitis C, taken alone or in combination with other medicines (see "Warnings and precautions"): ritonavir, lopinavir, atazanavir, sofosbuvir, voxilaprevir, ombitasvir, paritaprevir, dasabuvir, velpatasvir, grazoprevir, elbasvir, glecaprevir, pibrentasvir,
  • roksadustat (used to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease),
  • daptomycin (an antibiotic, see "Warnings and precautions"),
  • tafamidis (used to treat a disease called transthyretin amyloidosis),
  • itraconazole (antifungal medicines),
  • erythromycin, clarithromycin (antibiotics),
  • medicines that thin the blood and prevent blood clots (e.g. warfarin, heparin, coumarin, ticagrelor, clopidogrel, ticlopidine): acetylsalicylic acid may increase the risk of bleeding if taken before medicines that dissolve blood clots or thin the blood. Therefore, if such treatment is to be used, attention should be paid to signs of external or internal bleeding (e.g. bruising),
  • organ rejection after transplantation (ciclosporin, tacrolimus),
  • high blood pressure (e.g. diuretics and ACE inhibitors),
  • heart rate regulation (digoxin),
  • bipolar disorder (lithium),
  • painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs/anti-inflammatory drugs) and anti-rheumatic drugs containing salicylic acid: increased risk of bleeding and stomach ulcers.
  • gout (e.g. probenecid, benzbromarone),
  • glaucoma (acetazolamide),
  • cancer or rheumatoid arthritis (methotrexate; at doses less than 15 mg per week),
  • medicines that lower blood sugar levels (anti-diabetic medicines) such as insulin, tolbutamide, glibenclamide (sulfonylurea derivatives) in combination with acetylsalicylic acid in higher doses - may lead to decreased blood sugar levels.
  • depression (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as sertraline or paroxetine).
  • medicines used as hormone replacement therapy in case of adrenal or pituitary gland damage or removal (except for products used on the skin or cortisol replacement therapy for Addison's disease) or for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, including rheumatic diseases and inflammatory bowel disease (corticosteroids). Concomitant use increases the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
  • seizures (valproic acid).
  • medicines that increase urine production (diuretics: e.g. aldosterone antagonists, such as spironolactone and canrenone, loop diuretics, e.g. furosemide).
  • Alcohol: increases the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding.

If you need to take fusidic acid orally to treat a bacterial infection, you will need to temporarily stop taking Zahron ASA. Your doctor will tell you when you can safely restart taking this medicine. Taking Zahron ASA with fusidic acid may rarely lead to weakness, tenderness or pain in the muscles (rhabdomyolysis). More information on rhabdomyolysis is provided in section 4.

Taking Zahron ASA with food and drink
