• Keep this package insert as you may need to read it again.
• If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
• This medicine has been prescribed only for you, and you should not give it to others even if they have the same symptoms as you, as it may harm them.

Contents of the package and additional information

Acetylsalicylic acid, at the present dose in this medication, belongs to a group of medications called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are blood components, smaller than red and white blood cells, that aggregate when blood clots. By preventing this aggregation, antiplatelet agents reduce the likelihood of blood clots (thrombi) forming.

Your doctor has prescribed Adiro 100 mg to prevent thrombi formation and reduce the risk of artery obstruction, as:

• You have previously experienced a myocardial infarction or angina pectoris.
• You have experienced a transient or permanent non-hemorrhagic ischemic stroke.
• You have undergone a surgical intervention, such as coronary angioplasty or coronary bypass surgery.

Do not take Adiro 100 mg

• if you are allergic to acetylsalicylic acid or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
• if you have or have had asthma, with or without nasal polyps, after taking acetylsalicylic acid.
• if you have had allergic reactions of the asthmatic type (difficulty breathing, choking, bronchospasm, and in some cases, coughing or wheezing) when taking anti-inflammatory medications, acetylsalicylic acid, other analgesics, as well as tartrazine.
• if you have or have had acute gastric ulcers or repeated gastric discomfort.
• if you have a history of bleeding or perforation of the stomach after treatment with Adiro 100 mg or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
• if you have hemophilia or other bleeding disorders that predispose you to internal bleeding.
• if you have severe kidney or liver disease (severe renal and/or hepatic insufficiency).
• if you are taking anticoagulant medications.
• if you have severe heart disease.
• if you are taking methotrexate.
• if you are under 16 years old, unless a doctor's explicit indication, as the use of acetylsalicylic acid is related to the appearance of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious disease.
• if you are in the last three months of pregnancy, do not use doses higher than 100 mg per day (see section "Pregnancy, lactation, and fertility").

Warnings and precautions

Inform your doctor before taking Adiro 100 mg if you are in any of the following situations:

• if you have recently undergone surgery, including dental surgery.
• if you are scheduled to undergo surgery, including dental surgery in the next seven days.
• if you are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, or other medications, as certain medications may interact with Adiro 100 mg and produce undesirable effects (see "Use of Adiro 100 mg with other medications").
• if you are taking corticosteroids.
• if you are taking antidepressants.
• if you are taking antiplatelet medications.
• if you have hypertension or have severe kidney, heart, or liver problems, or are taking anticoagulants.
• if you are allergic to other anti-inflammatory or antirheumatic medications.
• if you have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
• if you have rhinitis and/or urticaria.
• if you have had or are experiencing gout attacks.

Adiro 100 mg may cause bronchospasm, asthma attacks, or other hypersensitivity reactions. Risk factors include pre-existing asthma, hay fever, nasal polyps, or chronic respiratory insufficiency, as well as patients with other allergic manifestations, such as skin reactions, itching, or urticaria.

Use of Adiro 100 mg with other medications

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

Certain medications may interact with Adiro 100 mg, so they should not be used without consulting a doctor. This is especially important in the case of:

• Analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen, used to treat pain and/or muscle inflammation.
• Glucocorticoids, except for hydrocortisone used in Addison's disease, as they may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers.
• Diuretics.
• Some antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, as they may increase the risk of bleeding.

• Medications for coagulation (oral anticoagulants) as they may increase the risk of bleeding.
• Some medications for controlling hypertension.

• Medications for lowering blood sugar levels.

• Ciclosporin, used in transplants.
• Vancomycin, an antibiotic used in some infections.
• Interferon alfa.
• Lithium, used in some psychiatric diseases.

• Methotrexate, used to treat cancer and rheumatoid arthritis: increases the hepatotoxicity of methotrexate.
• Medications used to treat gout.
• Antacids.
• Digoxin, used in heart problems.
• Barbiturates, medications used as sedatives for sleep problems and to treat seizures.
• Zidovudine, used to treat HIV infections.
• Phenobarbital and valproic acid, medications for epilepsy.
• If administered together, metamizole (a substance to reduce pain and fever) may reduce the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation (blood cells come 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 Adiro 100 mg with food, drinks, and alcohol

Take this medication with a glass of water, preferably on an empty stomach, and at least 1 hour before meals.

If you regularly consume alcohol (three or more alcoholic beverages – beer, wine, liquor, etc. per day), taking Adiro 100 mg may cause stomach bleeding.

Pregnancy, lactation, and fertility

Pregnancy

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.

If you continue or start treatment with Adiro 100 mg during pregnancy, following your doctor's instructions, use Adiro 100 mg as directed by your doctor and do not use a dose higher than recommended.

Pregnancy – last trimester

Do not take Adiro at doses higher than 100 mg per day if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus or cause problems during delivery.It may cause kidney and heart problems in your fetus. It may affect your predisposition and that of your baby to bleed and delay or prolong delivery more than expected.

If you take Adiro at low doses (100 mg per day or lower doses), you need strict obstetric control as indicated by your doctor.

Pregnancy – first and second trimester

You should not take Adiro 100 mg during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is absolutely necessary and as your doctor indicates.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, if taken for more than a few days, Adiro 100 mg may cause kidney problems in your fetus, which may cause low levels of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby (oligohydramnios) or narrowing of a blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) in the baby's heart. If you need treatment for a period longer than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional controls.

Lactation

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.

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

Fertility

Based on the limited available data, human studies have not demonstrated a consistent effect of acetylsalicylic acid on fertility deterioration, and there is no conclusive evidence in animal studies.

No effects have been described.

Inform your doctor if you are taking this medication, as it may alter the results of any diagnostic tests (including blood, urine, etc.).
