• fever of any cause.

2. What you need to know before you are given Inyesprin

• If you are under 16 years old, unless explicitly prescribed by a doctor, as the use of lysine acetylsalicylate is related to the onset of Reye's syndrome, a very rare but serious disease.
• In case of active, chronic, or recurrent peptic ulcer.
• In case of asthma and/or nasal polyps associated with asthma that are induced or worsened by acetylsalicylic acid, acetylsalicylates, or substances with similar activity, especially non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
• If you have a hemorrhagic disease.
• If you are at risk of bleeding.
• In case of hemophilia or other blood coagulation disorders.
• If you have severe kidney and/or liver disease (severe renal and/or hepatic insufficiency).
• If you have severe heart disease (uncontrolled severe heart failure).
• If you have had gastroduodenal ulcer and are being treated with medications for blood circulation (oral anticoagulants) and are prescribed acetylsalicylic acid to treat inflammation, pain, or fever.

If you are not sure if you should start taking this medicine, consult your doctor.

Warnings and precautionsConsult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Inyesprin:

• If you have a type of anemia due to a hereditary disease that occurs due to a deficiency of an enzyme called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD).
• In case of renal and/or hepatic insufficiency.
• If you have asthma, as the onset of an asthma attack in some patients may be related to an allergy to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or acetylsalicylic acid, and in this case, this medicine would be contraindicated (see "Do not use this medicine").
• In cases of abundant uterine bleeding, any menstrual alteration, as well as if you are using an intrauterine device (IUD).

• If you have a history of gastric or duodenal ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding, or gastritis.
• Gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcer, or perforation may occur at any time during treatment, without necessarily having previous symptoms or history. The risk of this happening is higher in elderly patients, people with low body weight, or patients being treated with medications for blood circulation (anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents). In case of gastrointestinal bleeding, treatment should be interrupted immediately.

• If you have or have had rhinitis or urticaria.
• If you have hypertension (high blood pressure).

• Before possible surgical interventions (e.g., tooth extraction), you should inform your doctor or dentist that you are using this medicine, as there is a risk of bleeding and it is advisable to suspend its administration one week before the intervention.
• If you are prone to gout, you should be aware that acetylsalicylic acid at low doses reduces the elimination of uric acid in the urine and may trigger a gout attack.
• Reye's syndrome is a very rare, potentially fatal disease that has been observed in children and adolescents with signs of viral infection (particularly chickenpox and flu-like episodes) taking acetylsalicylic acid. Consequently, acetylsalicylic acid should only be administered to children and adolescents in this situation following medical advice, when other measures have failed. In case of persistent vomiting, disorders of consciousness, or abnormal behavior, treatment should be interrupted.
• Continuous use of pain medications can cause headaches; if this happens to you, consult your doctor.
• Regular use of pain medications, especially if a combination of these is used, can cause permanent kidney damage, with a risk of renal failure.
• In case of use with other medications, it should be ruled out that acetylsalicylic acid is part of the composition of these medications, in order to avoid any risk of overdose.
• If during treatment you start to have ringing in your ears, hear worse, or feel dizzy, you should consult your doctor immediately, as these could be signs of overdose. In the case of children, the doctor will perform blood tests, especially at the start of treatment.
• Consult your doctor again if the pain persists for more than 10 days, the fever for more than 3 days, or if it worsens or other symptoms appear.
• If you are being treated with medications that may increase the risk of bleeding (corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, a type of medication used to treat depression called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antiplatelet agents, or anticoagulants). In these cases, you should consult your doctor, who will decide if you can use Inyesprin with these medications. Suspend treatment and go to the doctor immediately if your stools become black and viscous, you vomit blood, your blood pressure drops, you have cold sweats, abdominal pain, or you feel dizzy.
• This medicine should not be used intravenously in children.
• It is not recommended to use this medicine during breastfeeding (see "Breastfeeding").

Interference with diagnostic tests

Children and adolescents

This medicine should not be used intravenously in children.

Reye's syndrome is a very rare, potentially fatal disease that has been observed in children and adolescents with signs of viral infection (particularly chickenpox and flu-like episodes) taking acetylsalicylic acid.

In case of persistent vomiting, disorders of consciousness, or abnormal behavior, treatment should be interrupted.

In children under 1 month, the administration of acetylsalicylic acid is only justified in certain situations and under medical prescription.

In children, it is recommended to monitor salicylate levels, especially at the start of treatment.

Use in elderly patients
