6. Contents of the package and additional information

This medication is calledUroquinasa Syner Medica. The active ingredient is urokinase, an enzyme extracted from human urine that can act as a thrombolytic. This means that it can help dissolve blood clots that may form in:

• Catheters or intravenous cannulas (surgical tubes used to remove fluids or introduce fluids into the body)
• Lungs
• Deep veins

- Peripheral arteries (blood vessels away from the heart, such as in the legs).

No useUroquinasa Syner Medica

• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to urokinase or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
• If you have a bleeding in the stomach or intestines, or have had one recently.
• If you have any type of cancer with a risk of bleeding.
• If you have undergone a major surgical operation or have had a stroke recently.
• If you have recently suffered a trauma, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation or a thoracic or cerebral surgical operation (for example, in the last 2 months).
• If you have very high blood pressure.
• If you have abnormal blood coagulation or a very low platelet count.
• If you have vascular malformations, for example, a dilation (aneurysm).
• If you have a severe infection in the pancreas or heart, or any other severe infection.
• If you have severe liver or kidney failure.
• If you have recently given birth.

Warnings and precautions

Due to the increased risk of bleeding, special precautions will be taken with Uroquinasa Syner Medica if:

-You have a severe vascular disease, especially in the brain.

-You have a high risk of forming blood clots in the heart cavities, for example, in the case of abnormal heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation).

-You have blood coagulation abnormalities, including those due to severe nephropathy or hepatopathy.

-You have cavities in the lungs.

-You have urinary tract problems that could lead to bleeding (e.g., a urinary catheter).

-You have obstructed and infected blood vessels.

-You are elderly, especially if you are over 75 years old.

In all these circumstances, your doctor will decide whether to administer or not Uroquinasa Syner Medica.

If a severe bleeding occurs during treatment, Uroquinasa Syner Medica will be discontinued and you will be given medications to control the bleeding.

Uroquinasa Syner Medica is manufactured from human urine; certain measures are taken to prevent the transmission of infections to patients. However, despite these measures, when administering medications manufactured from human urine, the possibility of transmission of an infection cannot be completely ruled out.

Use of Uroquinasa Syner Medica with other medications

Inform your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any of the following medications, as the probability of bleeding may be increased by medications that counteract blood coagulation, such as:

• Heparin or other anticoagulants.
• Acid acetilsalicilic (aspirin), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Dipiridamol, dextranos (used to treat a decrease in circulating blood plasma volume).

Inform your doctor if you are taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (used to treat high blood pressure), as it may increase the probability of an allergic reaction.

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

Use in children

Uroquinasa Syner Medica can be used in children to dissolve blood clots in intravenous catheters or cannulas.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medication.

Uroquinasa Syner Medica should not be used during pregnancy or immediately after delivery unless your doctor recommends otherwise.

You should not breastfeed your child while being treated with Uroquinasa Syner Medica.

Excipients

This medication contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per vial, which is essentially "sodium-free".

Uroquinasa Syner Medica will be administered by a doctor or a nurse.

Before Uroquinasa Syner Medica is administered, it will be dissolved in a saline solution (a solution of salt and water). It should never be injected into a muscle or under the skin. The doctor will decide the amount and duration of treatment with Uroquinasa Syner Medica.

If you are being treated for:

A blocked catheter or intravascular cannula

Uroquinase may be injected at a concentration of 5,000 to 25,000 U.I. per ml directly into the catheter or cannula and wait between 20 and 60 minutes before removing the liquid. This may be repeated several times if necessary. A maximum of 250,000 U.I. of Uroquinasa Syner Medica may also be infused through a solution with 1,000-2,500 units per ml in the blocked tube over a period of 90 to 180 minutes.

Clots that block deep veins in the limbs

Initially, you may be given 4,400 U.I. of urokinase per kg of body weight in 15 ml of solvent via an injection into a vein over a period of 10 minutes. Subsequently, you will be given 4,400 UI/kg/hour for 12-24 hours.

Clots that block blood vessels in the lungs

Initially, you may be given 4,400 U.I. of urokinase per kg of body weight in 15 ml of solvent via an injection into a vein over a period of 10 minutes. Subsequently, you will be given 4,400 UI/kg/hour for 12 hours. Alternatively, the doctor may choose to administer 3 injections into the pulmonary artery at 24-hour intervals.

Clots that block an artery

Initially, you may be given a solution of 2,000 U.I. per ml directly into the clot at a rate of 4,000 U.I. per minute for 2 hours. The doctor will check for obstruction and may repeat this treatment up to 4 times until the clot is dissolved.
