  1. Contents of the pack and further information

1. What is Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma and what is it used for

This medicine contains acetylsalicylic acid, which at low doses belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are small blood cells that produce blood clotting and are involved in thrombosis. When a blood clot forms in an artery, it stops blood flow and cuts off oxygen supply. When this occurs in the heart, it can cause a heart attack or angina; in the brain, it can cause a stroke.

Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma is taken to reduce the risk of thrombus formation and thus prevent:

  • heart attacks
  • strokes
  • cardiovascular problems in patients with stable or unstable angina (a type of chest pain).

Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma is also used to prevent thrombus formation after certain types of cardiac surgery to widen or unblock blood vessels.

This medicine is not recommended for emergency cases. It can only be used as a preventive treatment.

2. What you need to know before taking Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma

Do not take Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma

  • if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to acetylsalicylic acid or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • if you are allergic to other salicylates or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs are often used for arthritis or rheumatism and pain
  • if you have had an asthma attack or swelling of some parts of the body, e.g. face, lips, throat or tongue (angioedema) after taking salicylates or NSAIDs
  • if you currently have or have ever had a stomach or intestinal ulcer or any other type of bleeding, such as a stroke
  • if you have ever had a problem with your blood not clotting properly
  • if you have severe liver or kidney problems
  • if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy; you should not take more than 100 mg per day (see section “Do not take Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma”)
  • if you are taking a medicine called methotrexate (e.g. to treat cancer or rheumatoid arthritis) in doses greater than 15 mg per week.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma, inform your doctor:

  • if you have kidney, liver or heart problems
  • if you have or have ever had stomach or intestinal problems
  • if you have high blood pressure
  • if you are asthmatic, have hay fever, nasal polyps or other chronic respiratory diseases; acetylsalicylic acid may induce an asthma attack
  • if you have ever had gout
  • if you have heavy menstrual periods

You should consult a doctor immediately if your symptoms worsen or if you experience serious or unexpected side effects, e.g. unusual bleeding symptoms, severe skin reactions or any other sign of severe allergy (see section “Possible side effects”).

Inform your doctor if you are scheduled to have surgery (even minor surgery, such as tooth extraction) as acetylsalicylic acid is an anticoagulant and may increase the risk of bleeding.

Acetylsalicylic acid may cause Reye's syndrome when administered to children. Reye's syndrome is a very rare disease that affects the brain and liver and can be life-threatening. For this reason, Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma should not be given to children under 16 years of age, unless prescribed by a doctor.

You should be careful not to become dehydrated (you may feel thirsty and have a dry mouth) as the use of acetylsalicylic acid at the same time may cause kidney function to deteriorate.

This medicine is not suitable for relieving pain or reducing fever.

If you are in any of the above situations, or if you are not sure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma 100 mg.

Taking Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma with other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking, have recently taken or may take any other medicines.

The effect of treatment may be influenced if acetylsalicylic acid is taken at the same time as other medicines used to:

  • prevent blood clots (e.g. warfarin, heparin, clopidogrel)
  • prevent organ rejection after transplantation (cyclosporin, tacrolimus)
  • treat high blood pressure (e.g. diuretics and ACE inhibitors)
  • regulate heart rhythm (digoxin)
  • treat manic-depressive disorder (lithium)
  • relieve pain and inflammation (e.g. NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, steroids or metamizole)
  • treat gout (e.g. probenecid)
  • treat epilepsy (valproate, phenytoin)
  • treat glaucoma (acetazolamide)
  • treat cancer or rheumatoid arthritis (methotrexate; in doses less than 15 mg per week)
  • treat diabetes (e.g. glibenclamide)
  • treat depression (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as sertraline or
  • paroxetine)
  • are used as hormone replacement therapy when the adrenal or pituitary glands have been destroyed or removed, or medicines to treat inflammation, including rheumatic and intestinal diseases (corticosteroids)

If administered together, metamizole (a substance to reduce pain and fever) may reduce the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation (blood cells stick together and form a blood clot). Therefore, this combination should be used with caution in patients taking low doses of acetylsalicylic acid as a cardioprotector.

Taking Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma with food and drinks

Drinking alcohol may possibly increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and prolong bleeding time.

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.

Pregnant women should not take acetylsalicylic acid during pregnancy unless their doctor advises them to do so. You should not take Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, unless your doctor advises you to do so and in that case the daily dose should not exceed 100 mg (see section “Do not take Acetylsalicylic Acid Kern Pharma”). Normal or high doses of this medicine during the last phase of pregnancy may cause serious complications in the mother or baby.

Breastfeeding women should not take acetylsalicylic acid unless their doctor advises them to do so.
