naproxen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alpoxen is anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic. Alpoxen belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory \/ anti-rheumatic medicines).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alpoxen is used for rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative joint changes, spinal stiffness (Bechterew’s disease), acute migraine attacks, acute mild to moderate intensity pain, and menstrual cramps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naproxen contained in Alpoxen may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or another healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lowest possible dose and the shortest possible treatment time should always be sought to reduce the risk of side effects. In general, higher doses than recommended can lead to risks. This also means that the combination of several NSAIDs at the same dose should be avoided.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have or have had any of the following conditions, you should consult a doctor before starting treatment with Alpoxen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elderly people should be aware of the increased risk of side effects that occur with older age.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bleeding, ulcers, or rupture of the gastrointestinal tract, which can be fatal, have been reported with all NSAIDs and have occurred regardless of the duration of treatment, with or without warning symptoms or previous severe gastrointestinal side effects. Stop taking Alpoxen and contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, or discover blood in your vomit or your stools.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Especially at the beginning of treatment, patients who have previously had problems with the gastrointestinal tract, especially elderly patients, should contact a doctor in case of symptoms from the abdomen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some patients with a high risk of side effects may be prescribed another medicine while taking Alpoxen to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Severe skin reactions when using NSAIDs have been reported in very rare cases. The risk of this reaction is higher at the beginning of treatment, most of the cases occur during the first month of treatment. Stop taking Alpoxen and consult a doctor if you get a rash or damage to the mucous membranes. See also section 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medicines such as Alpoxen may have a small increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Such an increase in risk is more likely with the use of high doses and with long-term treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose or treatment time (see section 3).
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consult your doctor or pharmacist about your treatment if you have heart problems, if you have had a stroke before, or if you think you are at risk for these conditions (eg if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or if you smoke).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After long-term use (more than 3 months) of Alpoxen every other day or more, headaches may develop or worsen. This headache should not be treated with a higher dose, but treatment with Alpoxen should then be stopped in consultation with a doctor.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The results of some urine tests may be affected if you take Alpoxen. Tell your doctor that you are taking Alpoxen if you are going to take a urine sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This medicine should not be used for chickenpox (see section 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Children under 5 years of age should not be treated with Alpoxen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. Never use several different painkillers at the same time without consulting a doctor or pharmacist.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alpoxen can affect or be affected by certain other medicines, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concomitant use of other NSAIDs should be avoided as the risk of side effects increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The effect of Alpoxen can be delayed if taken with food at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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 taking this medicine.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pregnancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pregnant women should not use Alpoxen during the last three months of pregnancy. Alpoxen should be avoided by women who are planning to become pregnant or are pregnant. Treatment during any part of the pregnancy should only be done after a doctor’s prescription. Breast-feeding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alpoxen passes into breast milk but is unlikely to affect breastfed infants. However, consult a physician if you use Alpoxen more than temporarily during breastfeeding. Fertility<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The use of Alpoxen may, as with any medicinal product that inhibits cyclooxygenase\/prostaglandin synthesis, make it difficult to conceive. Tell your doctor if you are planning to have a baby or if you have problems getting pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alpoxen can impair the reactivity of some people, which should be borne in mind at times when sharper attention is required, such as driving and precision work. You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased attention. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or side effects. Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine. Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure. In rheumatic diseases and mild to moderate acute pain: the<\/em> recommended dose for adults is 250-500 mg morning and evening, no more than 1,000 mg\/day. In case of pronounced night and morning symptoms, a dose of 500 mg can be taken with the advantage in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some patients may benefit from taking 750-1,000 mg once daily. When dosing with 1000 mg as a single dose, intake in the evening is recommended. For menstrual pain: the<\/em> recommended dose for adults is 250-500 mg if needed, but not more than 1,250 mg\/day. Treatment is started at the first sign of menstrual bleeding. In acute migraine attacks: the<\/em> recommended dose for adults is 750 mg at the first sensation, then 250 mg if necessary, but not more than 1,250 mg\/day. Children over 5 years of age: the<\/em> recommended dose is 125 mg (1\/2 tablet of 250 mg) morning and evening. Children weighing more than 50 kg should use the same dose as adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alpoxen is not recommended for children with acute pain. The tablet can be divided into two equal doses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. An adverse reaction is from the gastrointestinal tract such as digestive disorders, abdominal pain and nausea are the most common side effects are. Ulcers, rupture, and\/or bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract (sometimes fatal, especially in the elderly) may occur during treatment with Alpoxen. Stop taking Alpoxen and contact a doctor immediately<\/strong> if you experience any of the following rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other side effects include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Common (may affect up to 1 to 10 users):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncommon (may affect up to 1 to 100 users):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Medicines such as Alpoxen may cause a slight increase in the risk of heart attack or stroke (see section 2 Warnings and precautions). Drugs such as Alpoxen may affect the results of certain liver tests. In rare cases, severe skin infections are associated with chickenpox. Alpoxen may increase your risk of bleeding.
