Citrus &#8211; Acetylsalicylic acid\/caffeine uses, dose and side effects"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>500 mg\/50 mg&nbsp;effervescent tablet<br>acetylsalicylic acid\/caffeine<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Treo Citrus is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treo Citrus contains a combination\u00a0of aspirin\u00a0and caffeine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treo Citrus has pain-relieving, fever-reducing, and anti-inflammatory\u00a0effects.\u00a0Acetylsalicylic acid\u00a0relieves pain by counteracting the formation of special substances,\u00a0prostaglandins.\u00a0The antipyretic effect is due to\u00a0acetylsalicylic acid\u00a0increasing the body&#8217;s heat output.\u00a0Caffeine enhances the pain-relieving effect of\u00a0acetylsalicylic acid.\u00a0Caffeine also has an analgesic effect through its constricting effect on dilated blood vessels in the brain, e.g.\u00a0in the case of\u00a0migraine.\u00a0Caffeine also has an invigorating effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With water, Treo Citrus gives a clear solution that is gentler on the stomach than regular solid tablets with\u00a0acetylsalicylic acid.\u00a0Treo Citrus starts working within 30 minutes.\u00a0The effect is greatest after 1-2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine is used for temporary mild to moderate pain conditions, e.g.\u00a0headaches, migraine headaches, toothaches, muscle, and joint pains, menstrual pains, and in cases of fever in <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/cold\/\">cold<\/a> diseases.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before using Treo Citrus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Treo Citrus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to\u00a0acetylsalicylic acid, caffeine, or any other ingredient in this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><li>if you have had any\u00a0hypersensitivity reaction\u00a0such as\u00a0asthma, breathing difficulties, <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/pollen-allergy\/\">hay fever<\/a>, or hives when taking\u00a0aspirin\u00a0or certain other anti-inflammatory medicines<\/li><li>if you have a\u00a0stomach ulcer<\/li><li>if you have\u00a0hemophilia\u00a0or a reduced number of\u00a0blood platelets\u00a0(\u00a0thrombocytopenia\u00a0)<\/li><li>if you have cirrhosis<\/li><li>if you have severe\u00a0heart failure<\/li><li>if you have severe kidney disease<\/li><li>if you are pregnant in the last three months of pregnancy.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Higher&nbsp;doses&nbsp;than those recommended may entail serious 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>Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Treo Citrus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have\u00a0asthma<\/li><li>if you have mild to moderate\u00a0heart failure<\/li><li>if you have kidney disease or liver disease, especially during concomitant treatment with diuretics<\/li><li>if you are treated with medicines that inhibit blood clotting<\/li><li>if you have had a\u00a0stomach ulcer<\/li><li>if you are <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/peanut-allergy-and-nut-allergy\/\">hypersensitive<\/a> to\u00a0acetylsalicylic acid,\u00a0ibuprofen,\u00a0or other anti-inflammatory agents.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the caffeine content, Treo Citrus can make it difficult to fall asleep if taken close to bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treo Citrus is intended for temporary discomfort.<\/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.&nbsp;<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treo Citrus should not be used by children under 14 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medicines containing\u00a0acetylsalicylic acid\u00a0should not be given to people under the age of 18 with fever without consulting a doctor due to the risk of developing Reye&#8217;s syndrome, a rare but serious medical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Treo Citrus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.\u00a0This also applies to over-the-counter medicines and herbal remedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment with Treo Citrus can affect or be affected by certain medicinal substances against<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>blood clots (eg,&nbsp;warfarin&nbsp;)<\/li><li>rejection of organs after transplantation (ciclosporin, tacrolimus)<\/li><li>high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;(eg&nbsp;diuretics&nbsp;)<\/li><li>pain and&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;(eg&nbsp;corticosteroids&nbsp;)<\/li><li>gout&nbsp;(probenecid)<\/li><li>cancer and <a href=\"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/diseases\/rheumatoid-arthritis-ra\/\">rheumatoid arthritis<\/a> (methotrexate)<\/li><li>certain medicines for&nbsp;glaucoma&nbsp;also called&nbsp;glaucoma&nbsp;(e.g. acetazolamide)<\/li><li>heart rhythm disturbances (&nbsp;digoxin&nbsp;)<\/li><li>depression (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (&nbsp;SSRI&nbsp;) e.g. fluvoxamine)<\/li><li>manic depressive disorder, schizophrenia (lithium, clozapine)<\/li><li>epilepsy&nbsp;(&nbsp;phenytoin&nbsp;,&nbsp;valproic acid&nbsp;, carbamazepine)<\/li><li>diabetes&nbsp;type II (sulphonylureas)<\/li><li>high blood fats (&nbsp;nicotinic acid&nbsp;)<\/li><li>infection&nbsp;(&nbsp;ciprofloxacin&nbsp;, norfloxacin)<\/li><li>allergy&nbsp;(phenylpropanolamine)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use of Treo Citrus with food and drink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treo Citrus in combination with alcohol may increase the risk of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pregnant women should not use Treo Citrus during the last three months of pregnancy.\u00a0Ingestion of Treo Citrus should be avoided by women planning a pregnancy or who are pregnant.\u00a0Treatment during any part of the pregnancy must only take place after a doctor&#8217;s\u00a0prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acetylsalicylic acid&nbsp;and caffeine pass into breast milk but probably do not affect children who are breastfed.&nbsp;However, talk to your doctor if Treo Citrus is used more than occasionally during breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treo 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, Treo Citrus can impair the ability to react, for example, due to\u00a0side effects\u00a0such as dizziness and fatigue.\u00a0This should be considered at times when increased attention is required, for example when driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased vigilance.\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.\u00a0A description 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\">Treo Citrus contains sodium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult a doctor or pharmacist if your need for Treo Citrus is more than 1&nbsp;effervescent tablet&nbsp;daily for a longer period, especially if you have been prescribed a low-salt (low-sodium) diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains 276 mg of\u00a0sodium\u00a0(the main ingredient in common\/table salt) per\u00a0effervescent tablet.\u00a0This corresponds to 14% of the maximum recommended daily intake of\u00a0sodium\u00a0for adults.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Treo Citrus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Adults and adolescents over 14 years of age:<\/em>\u00a01-2 tablets 1-3 times per day or as prescribed by a doctor, a maximum of 6 tablets per day.\u00a0More than 2\u00a0effervescent tablets\u00a0at a time do not provide a better pain-relieving effect.\u00a0Contact the doctor if symptoms worsen or do not improve within 3 days for fever and\u00a0migraine\u00a0and within 5 days for pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use for children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treo Citrus should not be given to children under 14 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Warning:<\/strong>&nbsp;Should&nbsp;<em>not<\/em>&nbsp;be given to people under 18 years of age with&nbsp;<em>fever<\/em>&nbsp;without consulting a doctor due to the risk of developing Reye&#8217;s syndrome, a rare but serious medical condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One effervescent tablet&nbsp;should be dissolved in a \u00bd glass of water.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have used too much Treo Citrus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ingested too much medicine or if, for example,\u00a0a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, contact a doctor or hospital for an assessment of the risk and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of overdose may include headache, dizziness, convulsions, vomiting, ringing in the ears, palpitations (\u00a0tachycardia\u00a0), abdominal pain, irritation, restlessness, and shortness of breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you forget to use Treo Citrus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not take a double&nbsp;dose&nbsp;to make up for a missed tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions about this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, Treo Citrus can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people)<\/em>: Increased risk of bleeding, especially from the lining of the gastrointestinal tract.\u00a0Palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, tremors.\u00a0Stomach upset, e.g.\u00a0heartburn, nausea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 users):\u00a0<\/em>Hypersensitivity reaction, usually in the form of\u00a0hives, hives, hay fever, or\u00a0asthma.\u00a0The risk of a\u00a0hypersensitivity reaction\u00a0increases in patients with\u00a0allergies\u00a0or\u00a0asthma.\u00a0Stomach ulcers\u00a0and stomach bleeding with regular use.\u00a0Fatigue, dizziness, tinnitus, sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Rare (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people)<\/em>: Severe bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract.\u00a0Liver effects, severe skin reactions, kidney effects.\u00a0Decreased number of\u00a0blood platelets.\u00a0Dissolution of\u00a0red blood cells\u00a0in hereditary deficiency of a special metabolic enzyme (\u00a0glucose\u00a0-6-phosphate dehydrogenase).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smaller blood losses can in some cases lead to\u00a0anemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dizziness and ringing in the ears can be symptoms of overdose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acetylsalicylic acid\u00a0may increase the risk of Reye&#8217;s syndrome in children and adolescents in connection with diseases caused by\u00a0viruses, especially chickenpox and\u00a0influenza.\u00a0Reye&#8217;s syndrome is very rare.\u00a0The symptoms consist of signs of swelling in the brain and liver damage, sometimes with low <a
