  • Security in the gastrointestinal tract
    • A simultaneous application of the drug with other non-steroidal inflammatory inhibitors, including so-called COX-2 inhibitors (cyclooxigenase-2-inhibitors), should be avoided.
    • Side effects can be reduced by using the lowest effective dose via the shortest period required for symptom control.
  • Older patients:
    • In older patients, side effects occur more frequently after using NSAR, in particular bleeding and breakthroughs in the stomach and intestinal area, which may be life-threatening. Therefore, particularly careful medical monitoring is required in older patients.
    • Bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract, ulcers and breakthroughs (perforations):
      • Bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract, ulcers and perforations, also with a fatal outcome, were reported during treatment with all NSAIDs. They occurred with or without prior warning symptoms or serious events in the gastrointestinal tract in the prehistory at any time of therapy.
      • The risk of the occurrence of gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers and breakthroughs is higher with increasing NSAR dose, in patients with ulcers in the history, especially with the complications bleeding or breakthrough, and in older patients. These patients should begin treatment with the lowest available dose.
      • For these patients as well as for patients who need accompanying therapy with low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or other medicines that can increase the risk of gastrointestinal diseases, a combination therapy with gastric mucosa should protect drugs (e.g. misoprostol or Proton pump inhibitors).
      • If you have a history of side effects on the gastrointestinal tract, especially at older age, you should report any unusual symptoms in the abdomen (especially gastrointestinal bleeding), especially at the beginning of the therapy.
      • Caution is advisable if you get medicines that can increase the risk of ulcers or bleeding, such as: B. Oral corticosteroids, anti-blood clotting drugs such as warfarin, selective serotonin reuptakemer, which are used, among other things, to treat depressive moods, or platelet aggregation inhibitors such as ASA).

      • Heavy prints, diabetes or high cholesterol levels or heart diseases or strokes occur in their family history or when they are smokers.
  • Skin reactions
    • Under NSAR therapy, serious skin reactions with redness and bladder formation, some with a fatal outcome, were reported (exfediative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis/lyell syndrome). The highest risk of such reactions seems to exist at the beginning of therapy, since these reactions occurred in the majority of cases in the first month of treatment.

      • in allergies (e.g. skin reactions to other medicinal products, asthma, hay fever), chronic nasal mucosal swelling or chronic respiratory diseases narrowing.
      • Heavy acute over -recommended reactions (for example anaphylactic shock) are very rarely observed. At the first sign of a severe hypersensitivity reaction after taking/administration of the drug, the therapy must be canceled. The symptoms corresponding, medically required measures must be initiated by expert persons.
