1. What is Actromadol and what is it used for

Actromadol contains naproxen sodium as its active ingredient, a substance that belongs to the group of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and acts by reducing pain and fever.

Actromadolis indicated for adults aged 18 to 65 years, for symptomatic relief of occasional mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, dental pain, menstrual pain, muscle pain (spasms) or back pain (lumbago), as well as in febrile states.

Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen or do not improve after 3 days for fever or 5 days for pain.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Actromadol

Do not take Actromadol:

  • if you are allergic to naproxen or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6),
  • if you currently have or have had more than one episode of stomach or intestinal ulcers or bleeding,
    • if you have had a previous stomach or duodenal hemorrhage or have experienced a perforation of the digestive system while taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug,
  • if you have had allergic reactions of an asthmatic type (difficulty breathing, choking, bronchospasm, and in some cases coughing or ringing in the ears) or urticaria when taking anti-inflammatory medications, aspirin, or other analgesics,
  • if you have asthma,
  • if you have nasal polyps,
  • if you have severe kidney, liver, and/or heart diseases (renal, hepatic, and/or cardiac insufficiency),
  • if you are in your third trimester of pregnancy.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Actromadol.

It is essential to use the smallest dose that relieves pain and not to take this medication for longer than necessary to control your symptoms.

Be especially careful if:

  • You have had or develop a stomach or duodenal ulcer, bleeding, or perforation, which may manifest as intense or persistent abdominal pain and/or black stools, or even without previous warning symptoms.
  • This risk is higher when using high doses and prolonged treatments, especially in patients with a history of peptic ulcers and the elderly. In these cases, your doctor may consider associating a stomach protector medication.

Inform your doctor:

  • If you are taking medications that alter blood coagulation or increase the risk of ulcers, such as oral anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents like aspirin. You should also mention the use of other medications that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as corticosteroids and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.
  • If you have Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, as Actromadol-type medications may worsen these conditions.
  • If you have high blood pressure, reduced kidney, heart, or liver function, or coagulation disorders.
  • If you have or have had rhinitis or urticaria.
  • If you are in the first or second trimester of pregnancy.

Severe skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (Lyell syndrome), and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), have been reported in association with Actromadol. Stop taking Actromadol and consult your doctor immediately if you observe any symptoms related to severe skin reactions described in section 4.

Cardiovascular precautions

Medications like Actromadol may be associated with a moderate increase in the risk of heart attacks or strokes. This risk is more likely to occur when using high doses and prolonged treatments. Do not exceed the recommended dose or treatment duration (1 660 mg naproxen sodium tablet per day for a maximum of 5 days).

If you have heart problems, a history of strokes, or think you may be at risk for these conditions (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or smoking), consult this treatment with your doctor or pharmacist.

These types of medications may also cause fluid retention, especially in patients with heart problems (heart failure) and/or high blood pressure.

Avoid concurrent use with alcohol.

Children and adolescents

Do not administer this medication to children and adolescents under 18 years old.

Actromadol with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication.

This is especially important in the case of:

  • other analgesics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (medications used to treat pain, fever, and/or inflammation),
  • some antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, as it increases the risk of bleeding,
  • anticoagulants (medications used to "thin" the blood and prevent the formation of clots) like warfarin,
  • medications used to prevent transplant rejection (ciclosporin and tacrolimus),
  • corticosteroids, as it may potentiate the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding,
  • diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and angiotensin II receptor antagonists (for the treatment of high blood pressure or hypertension),
  • lithium (used in some psychiatric disorders),
  • methotrexate (medication used to treat cancer, rheumatoid arthritis).
  • low-dose aspirin (used to prevent blood clots).

Actromadol with food, drinks, and alcohol

Take this medication with meals or with milk.

Do not administer this medication with alcohol to avoid damaging the stomach.

If you regularly consume alcohol (three or more alcoholic beverages – beer, wine, liquor, etc. – per day), taking Actromadol may cause stomach bleeding.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Pregnancy

Do not take Actromadol if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus or cause problems during delivery.

This medication may cause kidney and heart problems in the fetus. It may affect your bleeding tendency and that of your baby, causing a possible delay in delivery or prolonging it beyond the expected time.

Due to the association of naproxen-containing medications with an increased risk of congenital anomalies/abortions, do not take Actromadol during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. If you need treatment during this period or while trying to become pregnant, the dose will be limited to the lowest possible for the shortest duration.

If you take Actromadol for several days from the 20th week of pregnancy, it may cause kidney problems in the fetus that could lead to low amniotic fluid levels (oligohydramnios) or narrowing of a blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) in the baby's heart. If you need treatment for several days, your doctor may recommend additional follow-up.

Breastfeeding

Women in the lactation period should consult their doctor before using this medication, as naproxen passes into breast milk.

Fertility

For fertile patients, it is essential to consider that medications containing naproxen have been associated with a decrease in the ability to conceive.

Driving and operating machinery

Use with caution in patients whose activity requires attention and who have observed fatigue, dizziness, vertigo, insomnia, or visual disturbances during treatment with this medication.
