How it works KARDEGIC ?

ANTITHROMBOTIC / INHIBITOR OF PLATELET AGGREGATION, HEPARIN EXCLUDED.

(B01AC06: blood, hematopoietic organs).

– Aspirin is an inhibitor of platelet activation: by blocking platelet cyclooxygenase by acetylation, it inhibits the synthesis of thromboxane A2, a physiological activator released by platelets, which plays a role in the complications of atherosclerotic lesions. .
Clinical pharmacology studies of lysine acetylsalicylate have shown that the intravenous route achieves very rapidly an effective plasma level of acetylsalicylic acid, which results in a total inhibition of the synthesis of serum thromboxane B2 in 5 patients. minutes.

KARDEGIC Side Effects

– Effects on the central nervous system : tinnitus , sensation of loss of hearing, headache, which are usually the mark of an overdose.
– Gastrointestinal effects : gastric ulcers, overt gastrointestinal bleeding (haematemesis, melena …) or occult, responsible for iron deficiency anemia.
– Hematological effects : haemorrhagic syndromes (epistaxis, gingivorragies, purpura …) with increased bleeding time. This action persists 4 to 8 days after stopping aspirin. It can create a haemorrhagic risk in case of surgery.
– Hypersensitivity reaction: sensitization accidents (urticaria, asthma, angioedema, anaphylactic accident).
– Other : abdominal pain.
– Effects related to the route of administration : possibility of pain at the injection site and local reactions.

KARDEGIC Interactions

CONTRAINDICATED ASSOCIATIONS :

– Methotrexate used at doses greater than 15 mg / week : increased haematological toxicity of methotrexate (decreased renal clearance of methotrexate by anti-inflammatories in general and displacement of methotrexate from its binding to plasma proteins salicylates).
– Salicylates in high doses (> 3 g / day in adults) with oral anticoagulants : increased risk of haemorrhage (inhibition of platelet function and aggression of the gastroduodenal mucosa as well as displacement of the oral anticoagulant from its protein binding plasma).

ASSOCIATIONS NOT RECOMMENDED :

– Oral anticoagulants: increased risk of haemorrhage of oral anticoagulants (inhibition of platelet function and aggression of the gastroduodenal mucosa).

Need for control, especially bleeding time.

– Other NSAIDs if aspirin is prescribed in high doses (> 3 g / day) : increased risk ulcerogenic and hemorrhagic digestive (additive synergy).

– Heparins (parenteral route) : increased risk of haemorrhage (inhibition of platelet function and aggression of the gastroduodenal mucosa by salicylates).

– Ticlopidine : increased risk of haemorrhage (synergy of anti-platelet aggregation activities).

If the combination can not be avoided, close clinical and biological monitoring (including bleeding time).

– Uricosuric agents (benzbromarone, probenecid) : decrease in the uricosuric effect (by competition from the elimination of uric acid in the renal tubules). Use another pain reliever.

For benzbromarone the effect is described even for doses of salicylates <= 3 g / d.

ASSOCIATIONS REQUIRING PRECAUTIONS FOR USE :

– Pentoxifylline : increased risk of haemorrhage.

Strengthen clinical monitoring and more frequent control of bleeding time.

– Antidiabetic agents (insulin, chlorpropamide): if aspirin is prescribed in high doses, increase the hypoglycemic effect by hypoglycemic action of acetylsalicylic acid and displacement of the sulfonamide from its binding to plasma proteins.

Prevent the patient and strengthen the self-monitoring glycemic.

– General glucocorticoids, except hydrocortisone used as replacement therapy in Addison’s disease : decreased salicylemia during treatment with corticosteroids and risk of salicylated overdose after discontinuation (increased salicylate elimination by corticosteroids).

Adapt doses of salicylates during combination and after discontinuation of glucocorticoid therapy.

– Diuretics: for salicylates in high doses (>, risk of acute renal failure in the dehydrated patient by reduction of glomerular filtration secondary to a decrease in renal prostaglandin synthesis.

Hydrate the patient and monitor kidney function at the beginning of treatment.

– Inhibitors of the conversion enzyme: for salicylates in high doses (> 3 g / d) , risk of acute renal failure in the dehydrated patient by reduction of glomerular filtration secondary to inhibition of vasodilator prostaglandins, due to NSAIDs. Moreover, reduction of the antihypertensive effect.

Hydrate the patient and monitor kidney function at the beginning of treatment.

– Interferon alpha: risk of inhibition of the action of interferon. Preferably use a non-salicylated antipyretic analgesic.

– Methotrexate used at doses below 15 mg / week : increased haematological toxicity of methotrexate (decreased renal clearance of methotrexate by anti-inflammatories in general and displacement of methotrexate from its binding to plasma proteins by salicylates). Weekly control of the blood count during the first weeks of the association.

Increased monitoring for impaired (even mild) renal function, as well as in the elderly.

ASSOCIATIONS TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT :

–Gastrointestinal topical (salts, oxides and hydroxides of magnesium, aluminum and calcium) : increased renal excretion of salicylates by alkalinization of urine.

Take a distance (2 hours) of salicylates.

– Intrauterine device : ( controversial ) risk of reducing the effectiveness of intrauterine devices.
– Thrombolytics : increased risk of bleeding.

KARDEGIC Warnings and Precautions

WARNINGS

Aspirin vials for injection are not suitable for children.

PRECAUTIONS:

– history of gastric or duodenal ulcer, gastrointestinal bleeding,
– renal failure,
– asthma: the occurrence of an asthma attack, in some subjects, may be related to an allergy to anti-inflammatories nonsteroidal or aspirin. In this case, this medicine is contraindicated.
– Given the platelet anti-aggregating effect of aspirin, occurring at very low doses and persisting for several days, the patient should be warned of the risk of bleeding that may occur in the event of even minor surgery (eg tooth extraction). ).
– This medicine does not contain sodium, it can be administered in case of deodized or low sodium diet.
– Pregnancy: studies in animals have shown a teratogenic effect of aspirin. The results of the epidemiological studies seem to rule out a particular malformative effect of aspirin, taken during the first trimester. There is currently no sufficient data to evaluate a possible malformative effect of aspirin when it is administered as a chronic treatment above 150 mg / day during the first trimester of pregnancy. During the 4th and 5th months, the analysis of a high number of exposed pregnancies in short treatment revealed no particular fetotoxic effect. However,
Therefore, during the first five months of pregnancy, aspirin as a punctual treatment may be prescribed if necessary, as a precautionary measure, it is preferable not to use aspirin in chronic treatment beyond 150 mg / d .

KARDEGIC and PREGNANCY / BREAST FEEDING / FERTILITY

Pregnancy

Studies in animals have shown a teratogenic effect of aspirin.

Clinical data concerning the aspect malformative (first trimester):

– aspirin in point treatment: the results of the epidemiological studies seem to exclude a particular malformative effect of the aspirin, taken during the first trimester,
– aspirin in chronic treatment: it does not There is currently no sufficient data to evaluate a possible malformative effect of aspirin when it is administered in chronic treatment above 150 mg / day during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Clinical data concerning the fetotoxic aspect (second and third trimesters):
– during the 4th and 5th month, the analysis of a high number of exposed pregnancies in short treatment revealed no particular foetotoxic effect. However, only epidemiological studies would verify the absence of risk,
– from the 6th month of pregnancy, aspirin doses analgesic, antipyretic or anti-inflammatory (> = 500 mg per day and per dose), as all prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors may expose:

. the fetus to:

. cardiopulmonary toxicity with premature closure of the ductus arteriosus and pulmonary hypertension;
. renal dysfunction up to kidney failure with oligohydramnios,
. the mother and the child, at the end of pregnancy, have a longer bleeding time. This anti-aggregating effect can occur even at very low doses.

Therefore:

– During the first five months of pregnancy

. Aspirin as a punctual treatment may be prescribed if needed

. as a precautionary measure, it is preferable not to use aspirin in chronic therapy beyond 150 mg / day .
– from the 6th month of pregnancy: except for extremely limited cardiological or obstetrical uses, which warrant specialized supervision, any aspirin-based medication is CONTRAINDICATED from the 6th month.

Breastfeeding

As aspirin passes into breast milk, breastfeeding is not recommended.

What happens if I overdose from KARDEGIC ?
