acid\/caffeine&nbsp;<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Tiplo Citrus is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiplo Citrus contains the combination&nbsp;of acetylsalicylic acid&nbsp;and caffeine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiplo Citrus has an analgesic, antipyretic and anti-&nbsp;inflammatory&nbsp;effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Acetylsalicylic acid\u00a0relieves pain by counteracting the formation of special substances,\u00a0prostaglandins\u00a0.\u00a0The antipyretic effect is due to\u00a0acetylsalicylic acid\u00a0increasing the body&#8217;s heat output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Caffeine enhances the pain-relieving effect of&nbsp;acetylsalicylic acid&nbsp;.&nbsp;Caffeine also has an analgesic effect through its constricting effect on dilated blood vessels in the brain, e.g.&nbsp;in case of migraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caffeine also has an invigorating effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Tiplo Citrus gives a clear solution with water that is gentler on the stomach than regular solid tablets with&nbsp;acetylsalicylic acid&nbsp;.&nbsp;Tiplo Citrus starts working within 30 minutes.&nbsp;The effect is greatest after 1-2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This medicine is used for temporary mild to moderate pain conditions, e.g.&nbsp;headaches, including migraine headaches, toothaches, muscle and joint pains, menstrual pains and in case of fever in cold diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>You must speak to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 days for fever and&nbsp;migraine&nbsp;and 5 days for pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The combination of\u00a0acetylsalicylic acid\u00a0and caffeine found in Tiplo Citrus may also be approved to treat other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Tiplo Citrus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Tiplo Citrus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to&nbsp;acetylsalicylic acid&nbsp;, caffeine or

risks.&nbsp;Do not use different types of pain relievers at the same time without a doctor&#8217;s prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before using Tiplo Citrus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have&nbsp;asthma<\/li><li>if you have mild to moderate&nbsp;heart failure<\/li><li>if you have kidney disease or liver disease, especially

anti-inflammatory agents<\/li><li>if you are trying to get pregnant.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Due to the caffeine content, Tiplo Citrus can make it difficult to fall asleep if taken close to bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term use of painkillers for headaches can worsen the headache.&nbsp;If you have or think you have such a headache, you should seek medical advice and stop treatment.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Templo Citrus should not be used by children under 14 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Medicines containing&nbsp;acetylsalicylic acid&nbsp;should not be given to people under the age of 18 with a fever without consulting a doctor due to the risk of developing Reye&#8217;s syndrome, a rare but

tract.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Pregnancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnant women should not use Tiplo Citrus during the last three months of pregnancy.&nbsp;Ingestion of Tiplo Citrus should be avoided by women planning pregnancy or who are pregnant.&nbsp;Treatment during any part of the pregnancy must only take place after a doctor&#8217;s&nbsp;prescription&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br>Breast-feeding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acetylsalicylic acid&nbsp;and caffeine pass into breast milk but probably do not affect the breastfed baby.&nbsp;However, talk to your doctor if you use Tiplo Citrus more than occasionally during breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><br>Fertility<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiplo Citrus can, like many anti-inflammatory drugs (so-called&nbsp;NSAIDs&nbsp;), make it difficult to get pregnant and is therefore not recommended for women trying to get pregnant.&nbsp;The effect is temporary, i.e. it stops when you stop using these types of drugs.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving ability and use of machinery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In some people, Tiplo Citrus can impair the ability to react, e.g.&nbsp;due to&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;such as dizziness and fatigue.&nbsp;This should be considered at times when increased attention is required, e.g.&nbsp;when driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>You yourself are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects\u00a0.\u00a0Descriptio of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0Discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tiplo Citrus contains sodium, sucrose and sodium benzoate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains 345 mg of&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;(the main ingredient in common salt\/table salt) per&nbsp;effervescent tablet&nbsp;.&nbsp;This corresponds to 17.3% of the maximum recommended daily intake of&nbsp;sodium&nbsp;for adults.&nbsp;Consult a doctor or pharmacist about your need for Tiplo or more&nbsp;effervescent tablets&nbsp;daily for a longer period, especially if you have been prescribed a low-salt diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an intolerance to certain sugars, you should consult your doctor before taking this medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains 0.15 mg of sodium besoate per&nbsp;effervescent tablet&nbsp;.<br><a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Tiplo

tablets&nbsp;at a time do not provide a better pain-relieving effect.&nbsp;Contact the doctor if the symptoms worsen or do not improve within 3 days for fever and&nbsp;migraine&nbsp;and within 5 days for pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Use for children<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiplo Citrus should not be given to children under 14 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Warning<\/strong>&nbsp;:
