It is necessary to avoid simultaneous administration of the drug Aceklagin® and other NSAIDs, including selective inhibitors of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).
Undesirable effects can be minimized by applying the minimum effective dose and reducing the duration of treatment needed to control symptoms.
Effect on the digestive tract
Bleeding ulcer or perforation GI deaths were observed when receiving any NSAIDs at any time during the treatment, both with the appropriate symptoms, and the presence of serious gastrointestinal diseases in history (gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, etc.), So and without them. The risk of bleeding, ulceration and perforation of the gastrointestinal tract increases with increasing doses of NSAIDspatients with a history of peptic ulcer, especially if it was accompanied by bleeding or perforation, as well as in elderly patients. These patients should take the minimum effective dose of the drug. Consideration should be given to the use of combination therapy with the use of protective agents (for example, misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors). Such treatment is necessary for patients who take small doses of aspirin or other drugs that adversely affect the condition of the digestive tract.
Patients with gastrointestinal diseases, including the elderly, should report any unusual symptoms associated with the gastrointestinal tract (especially bleeding), including when taking the drug for the first time. Particular care should be taken in patients taking drugs simultaneously, which may increase the risk of bleeding or ulcers, such as: systemic SCS, anticoagulants (such as warfarin), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or antiplatelet agents (such as acetylsalicylic acid).
If gastrointestinal hemorrhage or ulcers occur in patients taking Aceklagin®, treatment should be discontinued.
Cases of development of drug pancreatitis are rare.Nevertheless, cases of development of pancreatitis have been reported in connection with the administration of NSAIDs.
Influence on the cardiovascular and central nervous system
Patients with arterial hypertension and / or congestive heart failure, mild or moderate need appropriate observation because NSAID associated with fluid retention and edema. Aceclofenac structurally close to diclofenac, has a similar metabolism. With respect to diclofenac, there are data indicating an increased risk of developing thromboembolic complications (for example, myocardial infarction or stroke, in particular, with long-term treatment with high doses). There is also an increased risk of developing acute coronary syndrome associated with the administration of aceclofenac. Patients with chronic heart failure (Class I according to the classification of the New York Heart Association) and patients with risk factors for complications from the cardiovascular system (eg, hypertension, diabetes, smoking) should begin treatment with aceclofenac only after a balanced doctor's decision.Risks from the cardiovascular system may depend on the dose and duration of treatment, so the drug should be given at the lowest effective dose and for as short a period of time as possible.
Effects on the liver and kidneys
Taking NSAIDs can cause a dose-related reduction in the formation of prostaglandins and acute renal failure. The importance of prostaglandins for the maintenance of renal blood flow should be considered when taking the drug Aceklagin® in patients with impaired heart, kidney or liver function, in patients receiving diuretics, or in patients after surgery, as well as in elderly patients. Care should be taken when using the drug Aceklagin® in patients with impaired hepatic and renal function of mild or moderate severity, as well as in patients with other conditions predisposing to fluid retention in the body. In such patients, the use of NSAIDs can lead to impaired renal function and fluid retention. In patients taking diuretics, people with an increased risk of hypovolemia should also be careful when taking the drug Aceklagin®.It is necessary to apply the minimum effective dose and regular medical monitoring of kidney function. Undesirable effects from the kidneys are usually resolved after discontinuation of aceclofenac. Reception of the drug Aceklagin® should be discontinued if changes in the liver function indicators persist or worsen, clinical signs or symptoms of liver disease develop, or other manifestations (eosinophilia, skin rash) occur. Hepatitis can develop without prodromal symptoms.
The use of NSAIDs in patients with hepatic porphyria can provoke an attack.
Hypersensitivity and skin reactions
Like other NSAIDs, aceclofenac can cause allergic reactions, including anaphylactic / anaphylactoid reactions, even if aceclofenac is accepted for the first time. Severe skin reactions (some of which can lead to death), including exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, were very rare after NSAID administration. The highest risk of these reactions in patients is observed at the beginning of the administration of aceclofenac, and the development of these adverse reactions is observed during the first month of admission aceclofenac. In case of skin rash, damage to the oral mucosa or other signs of hypersensitivity, stop taking Aceklagin®.
In some cases, with chickenpox, skin and soft tissue infections may occur.
At present, the role of NSAIDs in worsening of the course of these infections can not be ruled out. Therefore, the use of Aceklagin® should be avoided in case of chicken pox.
Hematologic disorders
Aceclofenac can cause reversible inhibition of platelet aggregation.
Disturbances from the respiratory system
Caution should be exercised when taking the drug Aceklagin® in patients with bronchial asthma (including in anamnesis), since the use of NSAIDs can provoke the development of sudden bronchospasm in such patients.
Elderly patients
Caution should be exercised when taking the drug Aceklagin® in elderly patients, as they often have side effects (especially bleeding and perforation of HCC) when taking NSAIDs. Complications can lead to death. Also, older patients are more likely to suffer from kidney, liver or cardiovascular disease.
Long-term use
All patients receiving long-term treatment with NSAIDs should be closely monitored (for example, a general blood test, functional hepatic and renal tests).
Due to the anti-prostaglandin properties of NSAIDs, caution should be recommended to women taking mifepristone, because when combined with the NSAID, a decrease in the effectiveness of the drug may theoretically occur. Clinical significance is unknown.
