Drug interactions:


Diclofenac.

Lithium, digoxin. The drug may increase plasma concentrations of lithium and digoxin. Monitoring of plasma concentrations of lithium and digoxin is recommended. Diuretic and antihypertensive agents. When used concomitantly with diuretics of antihypertensive agents, such as beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, the drug, like other NSAIDs, may decrease their hypotensive effect. Therefore, combination of such drugs should be administered with caution, and blood pressure should be monitored in patients (especially in elderly patients). The patients should consume sufficient amount of water, and after the start and termination of concomitant treatment, renal function should be periodically monitored, in particular when using diuretics and ACE inhibitors due to the increased risk of nephrotoxicity. Concomitant use of potassium-sparing diuretics may increase serum potassium level; therefore, patients concomitantly using such drugs should control serum potassium level. Other NSAIDs and corticosteroids. Concomitant use of the drug with other HSAIDs of corticosteroids may increase the frequency of gastrointestinal adverse effects. It is recommended to avoid concomitant use of the drug with other NSAIDs, including COX-2 selective inhibitors, due to the lack of any evidence of possible benefit from the synergistic action. Anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. Regular concomitant use of the drug with anticoagulants, especially with warfarin and other coumarins and antiplatelet agents, may increase the risk of bleedings. Therefore, in case of such combination of drugs, thorough and regular medical supervision is recommended. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Concomitant use of NSAIDs and SSRIs may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. Antidiabetic agents. Concomitant use of the drug and antidiabetic agents does not alter efficacy of the latter. However, there are isolated reports about hypoglycemia, as well as hyperglycemia, which necessitated dosage adjustment of hypoglycemic agents. Therefore, during Fanigan therapy blood glucose level should be monitored. Methotrexate. Caution should be exercised when using NSAIDs less than 24 hours before or after using methotrexate, as in such cases methotrexate concentration in blood, and its toxic effect may increase. Drugs stimulating the enzymes which metabolize medicinal products. The drugs stimulating the enzymes, such as rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) etc. theoretically are able to decrease plasma concentrations of diclofenac. Colestipol and cholestyramine. Concomitant use of Fanigan and Colestipol or cholestyramine reduces absorption of diclofenac approximately by 30% and 60%, respectively. Cyclosporine. The effect of NSAIDs on prostaglandins synthesis in the kidneys may increase nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine; therefore, the drug dosage should be reduced when prescribing cyclosporine. Antibacterial agents – quinolone derivatives. There are isolated reports about convulsions in patients receiving concomitantly quinolone derivatives and NSAIDs.


Serratiopeptidase


In concurrent usage with anticoagulants the preparation intensifies their activity. Such combination should be used under careful medical supervision.

Warnings and precautions.

PRECAUTIONS:


General Concomitant use with other systemic NSAIDs, such as selective COX-2 inhibitors, should be avoided due to the lack of any evidence of synergic effect and because of the possible additive adverse effects. Caution should be exercised in elderly patients. In particular, it is recommended to use the lowest effective dose in weak elderly patients with low body weight. Bronchial asthma in anamnesis In patients with bronchial asthma, seasonal allergic rhinitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases or chronic respiratory tract infections (especially those associated with allergic symptom like rhinitis), such reactions to NSAIDs as exacerbation of asthma (so called intolerance to analgesics/analgesic asthma), Quincke’s edema or urticaria occur more often. Therefore, special measures are recommended for such patients (readiness for emergency action), as well as for the patients with allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, urticaria, to other substances. Effect on digestive tract As well as when using other NSAIDs, including diclofenac, medical supervision and special caution are obligatory in patients with the symptoms indicating digestive tract (DT) disorders or with the history of gastric or intestinal ulcer, bleeding or perforation. Risk of bleeding in the digestive tract grows with the increasing dose in patients with the history of ulcer, especially with complications, such as bleeding or perforation, and in elderly patients. To decrease the risk of such toxic effect on digestive tract, the treatment should be started and maintained with the lowest effective doses. For such patients, as well as those requiring concomitant use of drugs containing low doses of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or other drugs which are supposed to increase the risk of adverse effect on DT, the use of combined therapy with protective agents (e.g. proton pump inhibitors or misoprostol) should be considered. Patients with the history of gastro-intestinal toxicity, especially elderly patients, should report any unusual abdominal symptoms (especially bleeding in the digestive tract). Caution should also be exercised in patients concomitantly receiving drugs which may increase the risk of ulcer or bleeding, such as systemic corticosteroids, anticoagulants, antithrombotic agents or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Effect on liver Careful medical supervision is required when using diclofenac in patients with impaired liver function, as their condition may aggravate. As well as when using other NSAIDs, including diclofenac, the level of one or several enzymes may increase. The increased enzyme levels as a rule are restored after withdrawal of the drug. During a long-term drug therapy, regular monitoring of liver function and levels of liver enzymes is prescribed as a precaution. If liver dysfunction persists or aggravates, and clinical manifestations or symptoms may be associated with progressing liver diseases, and there are other manifestations (e.g. eosinophilia, rash) the drug should be withdrawn. The course of diseases, such as hepatitis, may take place without prodromal symptoms. Caution should be exercised in case if the drug is used in patients with hepatic porphyria, due to the likelihood of provoking an attack. Effect on kidneys Long-term treatment with high doses of NSAIDs, including diclofenac, often (1-10%) causes edema and arterial hypertension. Special attention should be paid to the patients with the history of impaired cardiac and renal function, arterial hypertension, elderly patients receiving concomitant treatment with diuretics, which have a significant effect on renal function, as well as to the patients with a significant decrease in extracellular fluid volume for any reason, for example, before or after major surgery. In such cases, monitoring of renal function is recommended as a caution. Discontinuation of the therapy results in a return to the condition which preceded the treatment. Effect on hematological indices In long-term use of this drug, like other NSAIDs, complete blood count monitoring is recommended. Like other NSAIDs, the drug may temporarily inhibit platelet aggregation. Patients with impaired hemostasis should be carefully monitored. Serratiopeptidase influence on blood coagulation so preparation should be administered with caution in patients with risk of bleeding and with disorders of blood coagulation time and in patients on anticoagulants. Do not exceed the indicated doses. Take into account that in patients with alcoholic non cirrhotic liver damage the risk of hepatotoxic effect of paracetamol is increased; the drug may affect the results of laboratory tests of blood glucose and uric acid levels. Do not use the drug concomitantly with other drugs containing paracetamol of diclofenac. The preparation should be administered with caution in patients with risk of bleeding and with disorders of blood coagulation time and in patients used anticoagulants because of the drug influence on blood coagulation. In case of severe liver and kidneys diseases the preparation should be used with caution.

Clinical pharmacology.

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES:


Pharmacodynamics: Suredase – D is a combined drug with a pronounced anti-inflammatory, analgesic and proteolytic effect. Pharmacological activity of the drug is due to the properties of diclofenac and Serratiopeptidase, which are the components of the drug. Diclofenac sodium has a pronounced anti-inflammatory and analgesic, and a moderate antipyretic effect. Paracetamol has a pronounced analgesic, slight antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Serratiopeptidase is a proteolytic enzyme, which is extracted from nonpathogenic intestinal bacteria Serratia E15. It has a fibrinolytic, anti-inflammatory and anti-edema activity. Except decreasing of inflammatory process serratiopeptidase reduces a pain as a result of blocking of painful amine release from inflamed tissues. Serratiopeptidase binds with blood alfa-2-macroglobulin in ratio 1:1, that masks its antigenicity, but it retains its enzyme activity. Then gradually it penetrates into exudate at the inflammation site and its level in blood is gradually decreased. Serratiopeptidase directly reduces the capillaries dilatation and controls theirs penetrability via hydrolysis of bradykinin, histamine and serotonin. Serratiopeptidase also blocks plasmin inhibitors and therefore promotes plasmin fibrinolytic activity. Due to edema reducing and microcirculation improvement serratiopeptidase makes the expectoration easier. Enzyme activity of the preparation is 10 times more than α-chemotrypsin. It very effectively hydrolises inflammatory mediators of polypeptide nature (bradykinin etc.), fibrin, but it does not influence on living organism proteins, such as albumin and α- and γ-globulin. The preparation does not split fibrinogen; therefore it does not have a significant influence on blood coagulation processes. The preparation well penetrates into inflammatory sites, lyses necrotizing tissue and their disintegration product, eliminates hyperemia and enhances antibiotics penetration and activity. The preparation reduces viscosity of saliva and nasal discharge, therefore enhancing their extraction. Pharmacokinetics: Diclofenac: After the intake, the drug is rapidly and completely absorbed. Food has no effect on absorption of the drug. Plasma concentrations of active substances are linearly dependent on the dose; the maximum levels are reached in 60-90 minutes after ingestion. Binding of diclofenac to plasma proteins (mainly albumin) reaches 99.7%. The expected volume of distribution is 0.12-0.17 L/kg. Diclofenac penetrates into synovial liquid, where its maximum concentration is reached 2-4 hours later than in blood plasma. The half-life for elimination from the synovial fluid is 3-6 hours. Diclofenac is metabolized by glucuronidation of unchanged molecule and methoxylation, which forms several phenolic metabolites, the biological activity of which is considerably inferior to the activity of the parent substance. General plasmatic clearance of diclofenac is approximately 300 mL/min. Terminal half-life is 1-2 hours. 60% of the administered dose is excreted in the urine as glucuronic conjugates of unchanged diclofenac; the rest is excreted in the bile and feces.


Serratiopeptidase:


The preparation passes through stomach in unchanged form and is absorbed in intestine. Maximal concentration in plasma is reached in 1 hour. Serratiopeptidase is detected in urine in insignificant quantity.
