1. What is Diltix and what is it used for

Diltix contains the active ingredient ibuprofen. Ibuprofen belongs

to the group of medicines called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

This medicine is used for the treatment of pain and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Ibuprofen is indicated for adults and adolescents weighing 50 kg or more (15 years or older) and is used for symptomatic treatment of pain and inflammation in arthritic diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis), degenerative arthritic conditions (e.g. osteoarthritis) and in non-rheumatic inflammation and painful inflammation after soft tissue injuries.

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

Do not take Diltix

  • If you are allergic to ibuprofen or any of the other ingredients in this medicine (listed in section 6). Allergic reactions may include: swelling of the eyelids, lips, tongue, or throat.
  • If you have ever had an allergic reaction (such as bronchospasm (tightening of the muscles in the lungs that can cause asthma and shortness of breath), asthma attacks, nasal discharge, nasal inflammation, skin reactions, or sudden swelling) after taking aspirin or other similar pain-relieving medicines (NSAIDs).
  • If you have bleeding or blood clotting disorders.
  • If you have an active or recurrent stomach or duodenal ulcer (peptic ulcer) or bleeding (two or more episodes of ulceration proven or bleeding).
  • If you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation associated with previous treatment with NSAIDs.
  • If you have a current or past history of cerebral or other active bleeding.
  • If you have severe liver, kidney, or heart failure.
  • If you have severe dehydration (caused by vomiting, diarrhea, or inadequate fluid intake).
  • If you are in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take ibuprofen.


Adverse reactions are minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest period of time.

You should consult your treatment with your doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen if:

  • You have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, sometimes known as lupus) or a connective tissue disease (autoimmune diseases that affect the connective tissue).
  • You have or have had gastrointestinal disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease)as your condition may worsen.
  • You have hereditary disorders in blood formation (e.g. intermittent acute porphyria).
  • You have reduced liver or kidney function.
  • After undergoing major surgery.
  • There may be allergic reactions with this medicine.
  • If you have hay fever, nasal polyps, or chronic obstructive respiratory diseases, there is an increased risk of allergic reactions. These allergic reactions may present as asthma attacks (known as analgesic asthma). Quincke's edema or urticaria.
  • You are dehydrated.
  • If you have an infection:see the heading "Infections" later.

Effects on the gastrointestinal tract
The combined use of ibuprofen with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including those called COX-2 inhibitors (COX-2 inhibitors), should be avoided.

Bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract, ulcers, and perforation
Cases of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforation,(which may be fatal) have been reported during treatment with NSAIDs.At any time during the same, with or without previous warning symptoms and with or without previous history of severe gastrointestinal events.

The risk of experiencing gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, and perforation is higher with increasing doses of NSAIDs and is higher in patients with a history of ulcers, especially with complications of bleeding or perforation (see section 2 "Do not take Diltix") and in elderly patients. These patients should start treatment with the lowest available dose.

For these patients, as well as for patients who require additional treatment with low doses of aspirin or other medications that may increase the risk of gastrointestinal problems,your doctor may consider associating a stomach-protecting medication (such as misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors).

Elderly patients have a higher frequency of adverse reactions to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), especially bleeding and perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and shouldconsult with your doctor, particularly at the beginning of therapy.

Caution should be exercised if also taking other medications that may increase the risk of ulcers or bleeding, for example, oral corticosteroids, anticoagulants (anticoagulants) such as warfarin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (used to treat psychiatric disorders, including depression) or platelet aggregation inhibitors such as aspirin (see section 2 "Other medicines and Diltix").

You should discontinue treatment and consult a doctor if you develop gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers during treatment with ibuprofen.

Effects on the cardiovascular system

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen may be associated with a small increase in the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke, especially when used in high doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose or treatment duration.


You should discuss your treatment with your doctor or pharmacist before taking ibuprofen if:

  • You have heart problems, including heart failure, angina (chest pain), or if you have had a heart attack, coronary bypass surgery, peripheral artery disease (problems with circulation in the legs or feet due to narrowing or blockage of the arteries), or any type of stroke (including a "mini-stroke" or transient ischemic attack "TIA").
  • You have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, a family history of heart disease or stroke, or if you are a smoker.

Ibuprofen has been reported to cause signs of allergic reaction to this medicine, such as respiratory problems, swelling of the face and neck region (angioedema), and chest pain. Stop using ibuprofen immediately and contact your doctor or emergency medical services if you observe any of these signs.

Skin reactions
Severe skin reactions, such as exfoliative dermatitis, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS syndrome), generalized acute pustular psoriasis, have been reported in association with ibuprofen treatment. Discontinue treatment with ibuprofen and seek medical attention immediately if you notice any of the symptoms related to these severe skin reactions described in section 4.

If you have chickenpox, it is advisable to avoid using ibuprofen.

Infections

Ibuprofenmay mask the signs of an infection, such as fever and pain. Therefore, it is possible thatibuprofenmay delay the appropriate treatment of the infection, which may increase the risk of complications. This has been observed in pneumonia caused by bacteria and in bacterial skin infections related to chickenpox. If you take this medicine while you have an infection and the symptoms of the infection persist or worsen, consult a doctor without delay.

Other warnings
In rare cases, severe hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. anaphylactic shock) have been observed. If you experience the first signs of a hypersensitivity reaction after taking ibuprofen, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor. The necessary medical measures, in line with the symptoms, should be initiated by specialized personnel.

Ibuprofen may inhibit the aggregation and function of platelets (platelet aggregation) in a reversible manner. Therefore, patients with bleeding disorders should be carefully monitored.

During prolonged use of ibuprofen, regular monitoring of liver function, kidney function, and blood counts is required.

If you take ibuprofen before surgery, you should consult your doctor or dentist.

The long-term use of any type of analgesic for headache may exacerbate it. If you observe or suspect this situation, you should consult a doctor and discontinue treatment.
In general, the habitual use of different types of analgesics may lead to the development of severe kidney problemswith a risk of renal insufficiency (analgesic nephropathy). This risk may be increased in conditions of physical exertion associated with salt loss and dehydration. Therefore, it should be avoided.

The risk of renal insufficiency increases in dehydrated patients, elderly patients, and those taking diuretics and ACE inhibitors

Patients who experience eye problems during treatment with ibuprofen should discontinue therapy and undergo eye examinations.

Elderly patients
Elderly patients have a higher risk of experiencing adverse effects after using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), especially bleeding and perforation of the gastrointestinal tract, which may be potentially fatal in some cases. For this reason, close medical supervision is required in elderly patients.

Children and adolescents
There is a risk of renal insufficiency in dehydrated adolescents.

Other medicines and Diltix

Inform your doctor or pharmacist that you are using or have used recently or may need to use any other medication.

Ibuprofen may affect or be affected by other medications. For example:

  • Digoxin, phenytoin, and lithium: The combined use of ibuprofen and digoxin (usedfor heart failure), phenytoin (used to treat seizures/epilepsy) or lithium (used to treat, for example, depression) may increase the concentration of these medications in the blood. Monitoring of serum levels of lithium is required. Monitoring of serum levels of digoxin and phenytoin is recommended.
  • Anticoagulants (to dilute the blood/prevent blood clots, for example, aspirin, warfarin, ticlopidine). NSAIDs may increase the effects of anticoagulants such as warfarin.
  • Diuretics and blood pressure medications:
    for example, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. The combined administration of ibuprofen and diuretics that save potassium (medicines used to increase urine elimination) may lead to an increase in potassium levels in the blood. Therefore, monitoring of these levels is recommended.
  • Medications that lower high blood pressure(ACE inhibitors such as captopril, beta-blockers such as atenolol, and angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as losartan): ibuprofen may reduce the effect of ACE inhibitors (used to treat heart failure and hypertension) on blood pressure. Additionally, during combined use, there is a higher risk of renal dysfunction.
  • Colestiramine (a medication used to reduce cholesterol) in combination with ibuprofen may reduce the absorption of ibuprofen in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the clinical significance is unknown.
  • Other analgesics: The combined use of ibuprofen with other anti-inflammatory and analgesic NSAIDs, including COX-2 inhibitors (for example, celecoxib), may increase the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.
  • Platelet aggregation inhibitors and certain antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors/SSRIs) may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Metotrexate: Administration of ibuprofen within 24 hours before or after administration of metotrexate (usedto treat cancer and inflammatory diseases) may cause an increase in metotrexate concentrations and an increase in its side effects.
  • Ciclosporin and tacrolimus may damage the kidneys.
    Probenecid or sulfinpirazona: Medications containing probenecid or sulfinpirazona (used in patients with gout) may delay the excretion of ibuprofen. This may cause ibuprofen to accumulate in the body, with an increase in its side effects.
  • Sulfonilureas: During combined use of ibuprofen and sulfonilureas (medications used to treat diabetes), monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended.
  • Zidovudine: There is evidence of a higher risk of hemarthrosis (accumulation of blood in the joints) and bruising (hematomas) in HIV-positive patients with hemophilia who use zidovudine (antiviral medication) with ibuprofen.
  • Quinolone antibiotics: The risk of seizures (attacks) may increase when quinolone antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin, are taken with ibuprofen at the same time.
  • Aminoglucosides: The combined use of ibuprofen with aminoglucosides (a type of antibiotic) with NSAIDs may decrease the elimination of aminoglucosides.
  • Voriconazol and fluconazol (CYP2C9 inhibitors) used for fungal infections, as the effect of ibuprofen may increase. Consider reducing the dose of ibuprofen, particularly when administering a high dose of ibuprofen with voriconazol or fluconazol.
  • Ginkgo biloba (a herbal medication) may increase the risk of bleeding with NSAIDs.
  • Mifepristone: The combined use of mifepristone with other anti-inflammatory and analgesic NSAIDs (i.e. ibuprofen) may reduce the effect of mifepristone.
  • Ritonavir: Combined use with ritonavir (an antiviral medication used to treat HIV) may increase the plasma concentrations of analgesic NSAIDs.
  • Alcohol, bisphosphonates, and oxpentifilina (pentoxifilina): The combined use of ibuprofen with alcohol, bisphosphonates (used for osteoporosis) or pentoxifilina (for peripheral arterial circulatory problems) may increase gastrointestinal side effects and the risk of bleeding and ulcers.
  • Baclofeno (a muscle relaxant) due to the high toxicity of baclofeno.
  • Corticosteroids (used to treat inflammation) due to the increased risk of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding.
  • Other medications may also affect or be affected by treatment with ibuprofen. Therefore, you should always consult your doctor or pharmacist before using ibuprofen with other medications.

Taking Diltix with alcohol

The adverse reactions of ibuprofen may be increased with the consumption of alcohol, especially those affecting the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract. You should not drink alcohol while taking ibuprofen.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

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

Pregnancy

Inform your doctor if you become pregnant while taking ibuprofen.

Do not take ibuprofen if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus or cause problems during delivery.Ibuprofen may cause kidney and heart problems in your fetus. It may affect your tendency and that of your baby to bleed and delay or prolong delivery.

Do not take ibuprofen during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is clearly necessary and as indicated by your doctor. If you need treatment during this period or while trying to become pregnant, you should take the minimum dose for the shortest possible time. From week 20 of pregnancy, ibuprofen may cause kidney problems in your fetus if taken for more than a few days, which may cause low amniotic fluid levels surrounding the baby (oligohydramnios) or narrowing of a blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) in the baby's heart. If you need treatment for more than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional monitoring.

Breastfeeding

Only small amounts of ibuprofen pass into breast milk, and, in general, it is not necessary to stop breastfeedingif used at the recommended dose and for the shortest possible time for fever and pain. However, if you need longer treatment or higher doses, you should consider stopping breastfeeding.

Fertility
Ibuprofenmay affect fertility in women. You should inform your doctor if you plan to become pregnant or if you have difficulty becoming pregnant.

Driving and operating machinery

Ibuprofen generally has a negligible or insignificant influenceon the ability to drive and operate machinery. However, if you experience adverse effects such as fatigue and dizziness, your reaction time may be affected, so do not drive or operate machinery. Alcohol consumption increases the risk of these adverse effects.

Diltix contains lactose

If your doctor has told you that you have intolerance to certain sugars, consult with them before taking this medicine.

Diltix contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmolof sodium (23 mg) per tablet; it is essentially "sodium-free".
