This medication is a pain reliever belonging to the group of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Dexketoprofeno MABO-FARMA is used in adults for the short-term symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate acute pain, such as muscle pain or joint pain (for example, back pain, sprains, and acute trauma), menstrual pain, and dental pain.

-If you have had photoallergic or phototoxic reactions (a special form of skin redness or burns exposed to sunlight) during the use of ketoprofen (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) or fibrates (medications used to reduce blood lipid levels);

-If you have peptic ulcers, stomach or intestinal bleeding, or have had these conditions in the past;

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take dexketoprofen:

-If you are allergic or have had allergy problems in the past;

-If you have kidney, liver, or heart diseases (hypertension and/or heart failure), or have had these conditions in the past;

-If you are taking diuretics or have inadequate hydration and reduced blood volume due to excessive fluid loss (e.g., excessive urination, diarrhea, or vomiting);

-If you have heart problems, a history of strokes, or think you may be at risk for these conditions (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or smoking) consult this treatment with your doctor or pharmacist. Medications like Dexketoprofeno MABO-FARMA may be associated with a small increase in the risk of heart attacks ("myocardial infarction") or strokes ("cerebrovascular accident"). Any risk is more likely to occur when using high doses and prolonged treatments. Do not exceed the recommended dose or treatment duration;

-If you are an elderly patient, you may be more likely to experience adverse effects (see section 4). If these occur, consult your doctor immediately;

-If you are a woman with fertility problems (see section 2, "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility"));

-If you have a disorder in blood and blood cell production;

-If you have systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective tissue disease (autoimmune diseases affecting connective tissue);

-If you have had or have chronic inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease);

-If you have had or have stomach or intestinal disorders;

-If you have an infection; see the "Infections" heading below.

-If you are taking other medications that increase the risk of peptic ulcers or bleeding, for example, oral corticosteroids, some antidepressants (type ISRS, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), agents that prevent blood clot formation such as acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) or anticoagulants like warfarin. In these cases, consult your doctor before taking this medication: your doctor may prescribe an additional medication to protect your stomach (e.g., misoprostol or other medications that block stomach acid production).

Infections

Dexketoprofeno MABO-FARMA may mask the signs of an infection, such as fever and pain. Therefore, it is possible that this medication may delay the appropriate treatment of the infection, increasing the risk of complications. This has been observed in pneumonia caused by bacteria and skin infections related to varicella. If you take this medication while having an infection and the infection symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor without delay.

Avoid using this medication if you have varicella.

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

Taking Dexketoprofeno MABO-FARMA with food, drinks, and alcohol

Generally, it is recommended to take the medication with meals to reduce the possibility of causing stomach problems (see also section 3, "Administration form").

The use of NSAIDs in combination with alcohol may worsen the adverse reactions caused by the active ingredient.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

Do not take Dexketoprofeno MABO-FARMA if you are in the last three 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 bleeding and delay or prolong delivery more than expected. Do not take Dexketoprofeno MABO-FARMA during the first six 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, Dexketoprofeno MABO-FARMA 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). If you need treatment for more than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional checks.

If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication, as it may not be suitable for you.

Women planning to become pregnant or are pregnant should avoid using this medication. Treatment at any stage of pregnancy should only take place under the guidance of a doctor.

The use of this medication may affect fertility, so it is not recommended to use this medication while trying to conceive or while studying a fertility problem.

Driving and using machines

This medication may slightly affect your ability to drive and use machines, as it may cause drowsiness, dizziness, and blurred vision as adverse effects of treatment. If you notice these effects, do not use machines or drive until these symptoms disappear. Consult your doctor.

Dexketoprofeno MABO-FARMA contains sodium

This medication contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per tablets; that is, it is essentially "sodium-free".

Follow exactly the medication administration instructions contained in this leaflet or those indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. If in doubt, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

The necessary dose of the medication may vary depending on the type, intensity, and duration of pain.

The effective dose should be used for the shortest time necessary to alleviate symptoms. If you have an infection, consult a doctor immediately if symptoms (such as fever and pain) persist or worsen (see section 2).

The tablets can be divided into equal doses.

Adults aged 18 years and older

The recommended dose is generally 1 tablet (25 mg of dexketoprofen) every 8 hours, not exceeding 3 tablets per day (75 mg).

Older adults or those with renal or hepatic insufficiency

If you are an older adult, or have mild renal problems or mild to moderate hepatic problems, it is recommended to start treatment with a maximum of 2 tablets per day (50 mg of dexketoprofen).

In older adults, this initial dose can be increased subsequently in accordance with the general recommended dose (75 mg of dexketoprofen) if dexketoprofen has been well tolerated.

You should not use dexketoprofen if you have moderate or severe renal problems or severe hepatic problems. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.

Use in children and adolescents

This medication should not be used in children and adolescents (under 18 years).

Administration form

Take the tablets with an adequate amount of water.

The medication can be taken with or without food. Taking the medication with food helps to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal disturbances, however, if your pain is more intense and you need faster relief, take the tablet on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before any meal or ingestion of food) because it will be absorbed more easily (see section 2 "Dexketoprofen MABO-FARMA with food, drinks, and alcohol").

Treatment duration

Treatment should not exceed 4 days. If the pain persists after this period of time, worsens, or other symptoms appear, you should interrupt treatment and consult your doctor or pharmacist.

If you take more Dexketoprofen MABO-FARMA than you should:

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone 91.562.04.20, indicating the medication and the amount taken. It is recommended to bring the packaging and the leaflet of the medication to the healthcare professional.

If you forgot to take Dexketoprofen MABO-FARMA:

Do not take a double dose to compensate for the missed doses. Take the next dose when due (in accordance with section 3 “How to take Dexketoprofen MABO-FARMA”).

If you have doubts about the use of this medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
