Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten, a propionic acid derivative, is a prototypical NSAID. It reversibly inhibits the cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 (COX-1 and -2) enzymes, thus resulting in reduced synthesis of prostaglandin precursors. It can inhibit platelet aggregation, has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic actions.

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten is an established non-selective NSAID and is useful as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic. Similar to other NSAIDs, the pharmacological activity of naproxen can be attributed to the inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase, which in turn reduces prostaglandin synthesis in various tissues and fluids including the synovial fluid, gastric mucosa, and the blood.

Although naproxen is an effective analgesic, it can have unintended deleterious effects in the patient. For instance, naproxen can adversely affect blood pressure control. A study found that use of naproxen induced an increase in blood pressure, although the increase was not as significant as that found with ibuprofen use.

Further, studies have found that the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding is on average four-fold higher for individuals taking NSAIDs. Other factors that increase the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding include concurrent use of corticosteroids or anticoagulants, and a history of gastrointestinal ulcers.

Uses

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten is used for the relief of symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, both of acute flares and long term management of the disease. It is also used in the diseases of rheumatoid osteoarthritis (degenerative arthritis), ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, brusitis, acute gout, acute musculoskeletal disorders (such as sprains, direct trauma and fibrositis), migraine and dysmenorrhoea.

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Acute Gouty Arthritis, Acute Migraine, Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), Arthritis, Backache, Bursitis, Extra-Articular Rheumatism, Fever, Flu caused by Influenza, Headache, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), Menstrual Distress (Dysmenorrhea), Migraine, Muscle Spasms, Nasal Congestion, Osteoarthritis (OA), Pain, Post-traumatic pain, Postoperative pain, Primary Dysmenorrhoea, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Juvenile, Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis, Sinusitis, Tendinitis, Toothache

How Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten works

As with other non-selective NSAIDs, naproxen exerts it's clinical effects by blocking COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes leading to decreased prostaglandin synthesis. Although both enzymes contribute to prostaglandin production, they have unique functional differences. The COX-1 enzymes is constitutively active and can be found in normal tissues such as the stomach lining, while the COX-2 enzyme is inducible and produces prostaglandins that mediate pain, fever and inflammation. The COX-2 enzyme mediates the desired antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties offered by Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten, while undesired adverse effects such as gastrointestinal upset and renal toxicities are linked to the COX-1 enzyme.

CNS side effect: drowsiness, headache, fluid retention, vertigo, hearing disturbances such as tinnitus, photosensitivity.

A few instances of jaundice, impairment of renal function, thrombocytopenia, and agranulocytosis have been reported.

Toxicity

Although the over-the-counter (OTC) availability of naproxen provides convenience to patients, it also increases the likelihood of overdose. Thankfully, the extent of overdose is typically mild with adverse effects normally limited to drowsiness, lethargy, epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. Although there is no antidote for naproxen overdose, symptoms will typically subside with appropriate supportive care.

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten is classified as Category B during the first 2 trimesters of pregnancy, and as Category D during the third trimester. Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten is contraindicated in the 3rd trimester since it increases the risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus and should be avoided in pregnant women starting at 30 weeks gestation.

Precaution

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten should be used with caution in patients with cardiac, hepatic and renal impairment, coagulation defect, and previous history of gastro-intestinal ulceration. The drug is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to aspirin or any other NSAID - which includes those in whom attacks of asthma, angioedema, urticaria or rhinitis have been precipitated by aspirin or any other NSAID.

Interaction

Antacid: The absorption of naproxen can be altered by antacids.

Aspirin: Plasma concentration of Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten can be reduced when aspirin is given concomitantly, this appeared to be due to increased exeretion of naproxen.

Diuretics: Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten diminish the effect of frusemide.

Probenecid: It increase the plasma concentration of Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten.

Food Interaction

  • Take with food. Food reduces GI irritation.

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten Alcohol interaction

[Moderate] GENERALLY AVOID:

The concurrent use of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and ethanol may lead to gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss.

The mechanism may be due to a combined local effect as well as inhibition of prostaglandins leading to decreased integrity of the GI lining.



Patients should be counseled on this potential interaction and advised to refrain from alcohol consumption while taking aspirin or NSAIDs.

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten Hypertension interaction

[Major] Fluid retention and edema have been reported in association with the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Therapy with NSAIDs should be administered cautiously in patients with preexisting fluid retention, hypertension, or a history of heart failure.

Blood pressure and cardiovascular status should be monitored closely during the initiation of NSAID treatment and throughout the course of therapy.

Hypertension interaction

[Moderate] Anaprox and Anaprox DS (brands of naproxen sodium) contain 25 mg and 50 mg of sodium per tablet (approximately 1 mEq<250 mg naproxen), respectively, and Naprosyn suspension contains 39 mg per teaspoonful (approximately 1.5 mEq<125 mg naproxen).

The sodium content should be considered when these products are used in patients with conditions that may require sodium restriction, such as congestive heart failure, hypertension, and fluid retention.

Hypertension interaction

[Moderate] Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including topicals, can lead to new onset of hypertension or worsening of preexisting hypertension, either of which can contribute to the increased incidence of cardiovascular events.

NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with hypertension.

Blood pressure should be monitored closely during the initiation of NSAID therapy and throughout the course of therapy.

Volume of Distribution

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten has a volume of distribution of 0.16 L/kg.

Elimination Route

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten is available as a free acid and sodium salt. At comparable doses, (naproxen 500 mg = naproxen sodium 550 mg) they differ slightly in their rates of absorption, but otherwise they are therapeutically and pharmacologically equivalent. Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten sodium achieves a peak plasma concentration after 1 hour, while peak plasma concentration is observed after 2 hours with naproxen (free acid). There are no differences between the 2 forms in the post-absorption phase pharmacokinetics. The difference in initial absorption should be considered when treating acute pain, since naproxen sodium may offer a quicker onset of action.

The mean Cmax for the various formulations (immediate release, enteric coated, controlled release etc.) of naproxen are comparable and range from 94 mcg/mL to 97.4 mcg/mL. In one pharmacokinetic study, the mean Tmax of naproxen 500 mg (immediate release) given every 12 hours over 5 days was 3 hours, compared to a mean Tmax of 5 hours for Naprelan 1000 mg (controlled release) given every 24 hours over 5 days. In this same study, the AUC0-24hr was 1446mcgxhr/mL for naproxen immediate release and 1448 mcgxhr/mL for the controlled release formulation. A separate study comparing the pharmacokinetics of Naprosyn tablets and EC-Naprosyn observed the following values: Tmax and AUC0-12hrs of EC-Naprosyn were 4 hours and 845 mcgxhr/mL respectively, and Tmax and AUC0-12hrs values of Naprosyn were 1.9 hours and 767 mcgxhr/mL respectively.

When given in combination with sumatriptan the Cmax of naproxen is roughly 36% lower compared to naproxen sodium 550 mg tablets, and the median Tmax is 5 hours.

Based on the AUC and Cmax of naproxen, Vimovo (naproxen/esomeprazole combination product) and enteric-coated naproxen may be considered bioequivalent.

Overall, naproxen is rapidly and completely absorbed when administered orally and rectally. Food may contribute to a delay in the absorption of orally administered naproxen, but will not affect the extent of absorption.

Half Life

The elimination half-life of naproxen is reported to be 12-17 hours.

Clearance

Momendol, Filmomhulde Tabletten is cleared at a rate of 0.13 mL/min/kg.

Elimination Route

After oral administration, about 95% of naproxen and it's metabolites can be recovered in the urine with 66-92% recovered as conjugated metabolite and less than 1% recovered as naproxen or desmethylnaproxen. Less than 5% of naproxen is excreted in the feces.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use
