1. What is Velyntra and what is it used for

This medicine contains two active substances: tramadol hydrochloride and celecoxib.

Tramadol is a pain reliever belonging to the group of opioids that acts on the central nervous system. It relieves pain by acting on specific nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

Celecoxib is a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory belonging to a class of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Velyntra is used for the short-term symptomatic treatment of moderate to severe acute somatic pain in adults, such as post-operative pain (e.g., orthopedic and traumatologic surgery, or after dental surgical procedures) or musculoskeletal pain (muscle, ligament, tendon, and joint injuries).

2. What you need to know before you take Velyntra

Do not take Velyntra

  • if you are allergic to tramadol hydrochloride, celecoxib, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if you have acute intoxication caused by alcohol, sleeping pills, pain relievers, or other psychotropic medicines (medicines that affect mood and emotions);
  • if you are also taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) (medicines used to treat depression) or if you have taken them in the last two weeks before starting treatment with this medicine;
  • if you have been diagnosed with epilepsy and your seizures are not adequately controlled with your treatment;
  • as a substitute medication for the treatment of withdrawal syndrome;
  • if you have had an allergic reaction to any medication in the group called "sulfonamides" (e.g., some antibiotics used to treat infections);
  • if you currently have a stomach or intestinal ulcer, or bleeding in your stomach or intestines;
  • if you have previously experienced any of the following symptoms after taking acetylsalicylic acid or any other anti-inflammatory and pain reliever (NSAID): asthma, nasal polyps, severe nasal congestion, or allergic reactions such as skin rash with itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing, or wheezing;
  • if you are pregnant. If you can become pregnant during treatment, you should consult your doctor about the use of contraceptive methods;
  • if you are breastfeeding;
  • if you have severe liver disease;
  • if you have severe kidney disease;
  • if you have inflammatory bowel disease such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease;
  • if you have heart failure, diagnosed ischemic heart disease, or cerebrovascular disease, e.g., you have been diagnosed with a heart attack, stroke, or transient ischemic attack (temporary reduction in blood flow to the brain; also known as "mini-stroke"), angina pectoris, or obstruction of blood vessels to the heart or brain;
  • if you have or have had circulation problems (peripheral arterial disease) or if you have undergone surgery on the arteries in your legs.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Velyntra:

  • if you think you are addicted to other pain relievers (opioids);
  • if you have disorders of consciousness (if you feel like you are going to faint);
  • if you have cold sweats, pallor, rapid pulse, rapid breathing, dizziness... (possible symptoms and signs of shock, among others);
  • if you have been informed by a healthcare professional that the pressure inside your skull is higher than normal. This can occur after a head injury or when suffering from diseases that affect the brain, such as a brain tumor;
  • if you have difficulty breathing;
  • if you tend to suffer from epilepsy or have seizures, because the risk of these seizures may increase;
  • if you suffer from depression and are taking antidepressants, as some may interact with tramadol (see "Other medicines and Velyntra");
  • if you have any liver or kidney disease;
  • if you have or have had a stomach or intestinal ulcer or bleeding;
  • if you are taking acetylsalicylic acid (even at low doses as a cardiac protector);
  • if you are taking antiplatelet therapies (e.g., clopidogrel, dipyridamole);
  • if you are receiving medications to reduce blood coagulation (e.g., acenocoumarol, anticoagulants analogous to acenocoumarol or new oral anticoagulants, e.g., apixaban);
  • if you are receiving corticosteroid medications (e.g., prednisone);
  • if you are taking this medicine at the same time as other non-acetylsalicylic NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or diclofenac. The concomitant use of these medications should be avoided;
  • if you are a smoker, have diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol;
  • if your heart, liver, or kidneys do not function properly, your doctor may want to monitor you regularly;
  • if you have fluid retention (e.g., swollen feet or ankles);
  • if you are dehydrated, for example, due to vomiting, diarrhea, or the use of diuretics (used to treat excess fluid in the body);
  • if you have had a severe allergic reaction or a severe skin reaction to any medication;
  • if you feel unwell due to an infection or think you have an infection, as taking this medicine may mask fever or other signs of infection and inflammation;
  • if you are over 65 years old, your doctor will want to monitor you regularly.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any of the following symptoms while taking this medicine:

  • Extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or low blood pressure. These may indicate that you have adrenal insufficiency (low cortisol levels). If you have these symptoms, contact your doctor, who will decide if you need to take hormonal supplements.

Respiratory disorders related to sleep

This medicine may cause respiratory disorders related to sleep, such as sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) and sleep-related hypoxemia (low oxygen levels in the blood). Symptoms may include pauses in breathing during sleep, nighttime awakenings due to lack of breathing, difficulty maintaining sleep, or excessive daytime sleepiness. If you or someone else observes these symptoms, contact your doctor.

There is a lower risk that you may experience a serotonin syndrome that may appear after taking tramadol in combination with certain antidepressants or tramadol monotherapy. Consult a doctor immediately if you present any of the symptoms linked to this serious syndrome (see section 4 "Possible side effects").

Seizures have been reported mainly when administering high doses of tramadol.

Tolerance, dependence, and addiction

This medicine contains tramadol, which is an opioid medicine. Repeated use of opioids can make the medicine less effective (the body gets used to it, which is known as pharmacological tolerance). Repeated use of this medicine can also lead to dependence, abuse, and addiction, which could result in a potentially fatal overdose. The risk of these side effects may be greater with a higher dose and longer use.

Dependence or addiction can cause a feeling of lack of control over the amount of medicine you need to use or how often you need to use it.

The risk of dependence or addiction varies from person to person. The risk of becoming dependent on or addicted to this medicine may be greater if:

  • You or any member of your family have abused alcohol or experienced dependence on it, prescription medicines, or illegal drugs ("addiction").
  • You are a smoker.
  • You have had problems with your mood (depression, anxiety, or personality disorder) or have been treated by a psychiatrist for other mental illnesses.

If you observe any of the following symptoms while using this medicine, it could be a sign of dependence or addiction:

  • You need to use the medicine for a longer period than indicated by your doctor.
  • You need to use a higher dose than recommended.
  • You are using the medicine for reasons other than those prescribed, for example, "to feel calm" or "to help you sleep".
  • You have made repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop using the medicine or control its use.
  • You feel unwell when you stop using the medicine, and you feel better once you take it again ("withdrawal effects").

If you notice any of these signs, consult your doctor to determine the best treatment approach for you, when it is appropriate to stop the medicine, and how to do it safely (see section 3, if you stop treatment with Velyntra).

You may also experience withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking this medicine. Your doctor will inform you how long you should take this medicine, when you should stop taking it, and how to do it safely. Inform your doctor if any of these problems occur during treatment with this medicine or if they occurred in the past.

Tramadol is transformed by an enzyme in the liver. Some people have a variation of this enzyme, and this can affect each person differently. In some people, sufficient pain relief may not be achieved, while others are more likely to experience serious side effects. If you notice any of the following side effects, you should stop taking this medicine and consult a doctor immediately: slow or shallow breathing, confusion, drowsiness, constricted pupils, general malaise, or vomiting, constipation, loss of appetite.

Like other NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen or diclofenac), celecoxib (a component of this medicine) may increase your blood pressure, so your doctor may perform periodic blood pressure checks.

Some cases of severe liver reactions have been reported with celecoxib, including severe liver inflammation, liver damage, liver failure (some with a fatal outcome or requiring liver transplantation). Most severe liver reactions occurred in the first month of treatment.

Children and adolescents

This medicine has not been studied in children or adolescents. Therefore, its safety and efficacy have not been established, and the medicine should not be used in children or adolescents.

Tramadol is not recommended in children with respiratory problems, as symptoms of tramadol toxicity may worsen in these patients.

Other medicines and Velyntra

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription. Some medicines should not be taken together, and others may require a dose adjustment if taken together.

Do not take this medicine with:

  • Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or 2 weeks before and after taking these medicines. MAOIs are medicines for the treatment of depression.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any of the following medicines:

  • Other pain relievers such as morphine and codeine (also used as a cough medicine), or alcohol.
  • Sedatives or sleeping pills (e.g., benzodiazepines).
  • Medicines that may cause seizures (attacks), such as certain antidepressants or antipsychotics.
  • Antidepressants. Velyntra may interact with these medicines, and you may experience a serotonin syndrome (see section 4 "Possible side effects").
  • Anticoagulants (e.g., acenocoumarol, apixaban).
  • Dextromethorphan (used to treat cough).
  • ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II antagonists, beta-blockers, and diuretics (used to control high blood pressure and heart disorders).
  • Fluconazole, ketoconazole, rifampicin, isoniazid, and erythromycin (used to treat fungal and bacterial infections).
  • Lithium (used to treat some types of depression).
  • Other medicines used to treat depression, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, or irregular heart rhythm (quinidine, paroxetine, fluoxetine, sertraline, amitriptyline).
  • Neuroleptics (used to treat some mental disorders).
  • Methotrexate (used in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and leukemia).
  • Barbiturates (used to treat epilepsy/convulsions and some sleep disorders).
  • Cyclosporine and tacrolimus (used to suppress the immune system, e.g., after transplants).
  • Ritonavir (treatment of patients infected with HIV-1 in combination with other medicines).
  • Gabapentin or pregabalin to treat epilepsy or pain due to nerve problems (neuropathic pain).

The effect and duration of pain relief of the treatment may be reduced if you take medicines that contain:

  • Carbamazepine (for epileptic seizures).
  • Ondansetron (to prevent nausea).

This medicine can be taken with low doses of acetylsalicylic acid (75 mg daily or less). Ask your doctor for advice before taking both medicines together.

Taking Velyntra with food and alcohol

This medicine can be taken with or without food. Do not drink alcohol during treatment with this medicine, as it may increase side effects, especially those affecting the nervous system and digestive system. For instructions on how to take this medicine, see section 3.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

The use of this medicine is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

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

Tramadol (a component of this medicine) is excreted in breast milk.

Celecoxib (a component of this medicine) may make it more difficult to become pregnant. You should inform your doctor if you plan to become pregnant or if you are having difficulty becoming pregnant.

Driving and using machines

This medicine may cause drowsiness, dizziness, and blurred vision, and therefore may affect your ability to drive and use machines. If you are affected, do not drive cars or any other type of vehicle, or use machines or electric tools until the symptoms disappear.

Velyntra contains mannitol and sodium

It may produce a mild laxative effect.

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet; this is, essentially "sodium-free".

3. How to take Velyntra

Follow the administration instructions for this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Before starting treatment and regularly during treatment, your doctor will also explain what you can expect from using Velyntra, when and for how long you should use it, when you should contact your doctor, and when you should stop using it (see also section 2).

For short-term use only.

Adults

The recommended dose is 2 tablets (corresponding to 88 mg of tramadol hydrochloride and 112 mg of celecoxib) every 12 hours.

Do not take more than 4 tablets (176 mg tramadol hydrochloride/224 mg celecoxib) in 24 hours. Your doctor will indicate how long you should follow the treatment.

Some patients may experience insufficient pain relief as the time for the next dose approaches. Talk to your doctor if the treatment does not control your pain.

Use in children and adolescents

The use of this medication is not recommended in children and adolescents.

Elderly patients

No dose adjustment is required in elderly patients.

Patients with severe liver or kidney disease (insufficiency)/patients on dialysis

If you have severe liver or kidney disease, you should not take this medication. If your insufficiency is mild or moderate, your doctor will decide if you can take this medication.

Method of administration

The tablets are administered orally.

You should swallow the tablets whole, with a sufficient amount of water. Do not divide, crush, or chew the tablets.

The tablets can be taken at any time of day, with or without food. However, try to take each dose at the same time every day.

If you take more Velyntra than you should

If you have taken an extra dose by mistake, it is unlikely to have negative effects. You should take the next dose as prescribed.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately, go to the emergency department of your nearest hospital, or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20. Please bring the medication packaging or this leaflet with you.

The symptoms of overdose of this medication are:

  • pupil contraction;
  • vomiting;
  • decrease in blood pressure;
  • increase in heart rate;
  • collapse;
  • decrease in level of consciousness to coma (deep unconsciousness);
  • epileptic seizures;
  • difficulty breathing that can lead to respiratory arrest. In this case, call a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department immediately!

Your doctor will treat the symptoms of overdose of this medication.

If you forget to take Velyntra

If you forget to take a dose of this medication, it is likely that the pain will return. Take the dose as soon as you remember, and then take the next doses at the same time as you were supposed to, as prescribed. Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses.

If you interrupt treatment with Velyntra

Pain is usually self-limiting and requires treatment for a few days or weeks. If you interrupt or finish treatment with this medication too early, it is likely that the pain will return. If you want to interrupt treatment due to undesirable effects, consult your doctor.

Sudden interruption of treatment with this medication can cause worsening of symptoms (see Section 3 "How to take Velyntra").

Generally, no subsequent adverse effects are expected after suspension of treatment with this medication.

However, in rare cases, patients who have been taking tramadol for some time may feel discomfort if they stop taking it suddenly. They may feel agitation, anxiety, nervousness, or tremors, confusion, hyperactivity, difficulty sleeping, and stomach or intestinal disorders. Rarely, people may suffer from panic attacks, hallucinations, delirium, paranoia, or feel a loss of identity.

They may experience unusual perceptions such as itching, tingling, and numbness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Very rarely, other unusual symptoms have been observed, such as confusion, delirium, feeling of being detached from oneself (depersonalization), change in perception of reality (derealization), and delusions of persecution (paranoia). Please consult your doctor if you experience any of these effects after stopping this medication.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
