1. What is Enantyum and what is it used for?

Enantyum is a pain reliever belonging to the group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
It is used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, such as muscle pain, painful periods (dysmenorrhea), toothache.
See your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 - 4 days.

2. What you need to know before you take Enantyum

Do not take Enantyum:
If you are allergic to dexketoprofen or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
If you are allergic to acetylsalicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
If you have asthma or have suffered from asthma attacks, acute allergic rhinitis (a short period of inflammation of the nasal mucosa), nasal polyps (polypoid masses in the nose due to allergy), urticaria (skin rash), angioedema (swelling of the face, eyes, lips, or tongue, or difficulty breathing) or wheezing in the chest, after taking acetylsalicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
If you have suffered from photoallergic or phototoxic reactions (a particular form of redness and/or blistering of the skin following exposure to sunlight) during treatment with ketoprofen (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) or with fibrates (drugs used to reduce fat levels in the blood);
If you suffer from a peptic ulcer/bleeding of the stomach or intestine or if you have suffered in the past from bleeding of the stomach or intestine, ulceration or perforation;
If you suffer from chronic digestive problems (e.g. indigestion, heartburn);
If you have suffered in the past from bleeding or perforation of the stomach or intestine due to previous use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for pain;
If you are affected by inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis);
If you suffer from severe heart failure, or have moderate to severe kidney disorders or serious liver problems;
If you have bleeding problems or coagulation disorders;
If you are severely dehydrated (have lost a large amount of body fluids) due to vomiting, diarrhea or insufficient fluid intake;
If you are in the third trimester of pregnancy or are breastfeeding.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Enantyum:
If you suffer from allergy, or have had problems due to allergies in the past;
If you have kidney disorders, liver problems or heart problems (hypertension and/or heart failure) or fluid retention, or have suffered from any of these disorders in the past;
If you are being treated with diuretics or have very poor hydration or have a reduced blood volume due to excessive fluid loss (e.g. due to excessive urination, diarrhea, vomiting);
If you are affected by heart disorders, if you have had a stroke or if you think you may be at risk for these conditions (e.g. if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol or if you are a smoker) you should discuss the therapy with your doctor or pharmacist; medicines like Enantyum may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack ("myocardial infarction") or stroke. These risks are more likely with high doses of the drug and with prolonged therapy. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment;
If you are elderly: there is a greater probability of being subject to side effects (see section 4). If these occur, consult your doctor immediately;
If you are a woman with fertility problems (Enantyum may reduce your fertility, therefore you should not take the medicine if you are planning a pregnancy or if you are undergoing fertility investigations);
If you suffer from a blood or blood cell formation disorder;
If you suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective tissue disease (immune system disorders affecting connective tissue);
If you have suffered in the past from a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease);
If you have or have suffered in the past from other disorders of the stomach or intestine;
If you have chickenpox, as NSAIDs can exceptionally worsen the infection;
If you are taking other medicines that increase the risk of peptic ulcer or bleeding, such as oral steroids, some antidepressants (those of the SSRI type, i.e. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors), medicines that prevent blood clots from forming such as aspirin or anticoagulants such as warfarin. In these cases, consult your doctor before taking Enantyum: this may prescribe you an additional medicine to protect your stomach (e.g. misoprostol or other medicines that block the production of gastric acids);
If you suffer from asthma associated with chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and/or nasal polyps as you have a higher risk of allergy to acetylsalicylic acid and/or NSAIDs compared to the rest of the population. The administration of this medicine may cause asthma attacks or bronchospasm, especially in subjects allergic to acetylsalicylic acid or NSAIDs.

If you have any doubts about taking other medicines in combination with Enantyum, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Enantyum with food and drink
Take the tablets with an adequate amount of water and with food, as this helps to reduce the risk of side effects on the stomach or intestines. However, in case of severe pain, take the tablets on an empty stomach, i.e. at least 30 minutes before meals, to allow the medicine to act more quickly.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
Do not use Enantyum in the last three months of pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding.
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding with breast milk, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine, as Enantyum may not be the right medicine for you.

The use of Enantyum is not recommended while you are planning a pregnancy or during investigations for infertility.
With regard to potential effects on female fertility, also consult paragraph 2, "Warnings and precautions".

Driving and using machines
Enantyum may slightly affect your ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery due to the possibility of undesirable effects such as dizziness and fatigue associated with therapy. If you experience these effects, do not drive vehicles or use machinery until the symptoms disappear. Consult your doctor.

3. How to take Enantyum

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If you have any doubts
ask your doctor or pharmacist.
The recommended dose is generally 1 tablet (12.5 mg) every 4-6 hours and no more than 6 tablets per day
(75 mg). If you do not feel better or feel worse after 3 – 4 days, consult your doctor.
Your doctor will tell you how many tablets you need to take daily and for how long. The dose of Enantyum that you
need depends on the type, intensity and duration of the pain.
If you are elderly or if you suffer from kidney or liver problems, you should start treatment with a total daily
dose of no more than 4 tablets (50 mg).
In elderly patients this initial dose may then be increased to the generally
recommended dose (75 mg) if Enantyum has been well tolerated.
If the pain is severe and you want to obtain faster relief, take the tablets on an empty stomach (at least 30
minutes before meals), as this will facilitate absorption (see section 2 “Enantyum with food and drinks”).

The recommended dose is generally 1 tablet (12.5 mg) every 4-6 hours and no more than 6 tablets per day
(75 mg).

dose of no more than 4 tablets (50 mg).
In elderly patients this initial dose may subsequently be increased to the generally
recommended dose (75 mg) if Enantyum has been well tolerated.
If the pain is severe and you want to obtain faster relief, take the tablets on an empty stomach (at least 30
minutes before meals), as this will facilitate absorption (see section 2 “Enantyum with food and drinks”).

It is used for the symptomatic treatment of short-term pain of mild to moderate intensity, such as acute muscle pain, joint pain, painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea), toothache.

10. What you need to know before taking Enantyum

Do not take Enantyum:
if you are allergic to dexketoprofen or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
if you are allergic to acetylsalicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
if you suffer from asthma or have had asthma attacks, acute allergic rhinitis (short periods of inflammation of the nasal mucosa), nasal polyps (polypoid masses in the nose due to allergy), urticaria (skin rash), angioedema (swelling of the face, eyes, lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing) or wheezing in the chest, after taking acetylsalicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
if you have suffered from photoallergic or phototoxic reactions (a particular form of redness and/or irritation of the skin exposed to sunlight) in conjunction with the use of ketoprofen (an NSAID) or fibrates (drugs used to lower lipid levels in the blood);
if you suffer from peptic ulcer/bleeding of the stomach or intestine or if you have suffered in the past from bleeding, ulceration or perforation of the stomach or intestine;
if you have chronic digestive problems (e.g. indigestion, heartburn);
if you have suffered in the past from bleeding or perforation of the stomach or intestine due to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain;
if you suffer from chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis);
if you suffer from severe heart failure, moderate or severe kidney failure, severe liver failure;
if you have bleeding problems or coagulation disorders;
if you are severely dehydrated (have lost a lot of fluids) due to vomiting, diarrhea or insufficient fluid intake;
if you are in the third trimester of pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding;

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Enantyum:
if you suffer from allergies, or have had allergic problems in the past;
if you have kidney, liver or heart problems (hypertension and/or heart failure) and fluid retention, or if you have suffered from one of these disorders in the past;
if you are being treated with diuretics or if you are poorly hydrated and if you have a reduced blood volume due to excessive fluid loss (e.g. due to excessive urination, diarrhea, vomiting);
if you suffer from heart disease, if you have had a stroke or if you think you may be at risk for these conditions (e.g. if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol or if you are a smoker), discuss the therapy with your doctor or pharmacist; drugs like Enantyum may be associated with a slight increase in the risk of heart attack ("myocardial infarction") or stroke. These risks are more likely with high doses of the drug and with prolonged therapy. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment;
if you are elderly: the risk of side effects is higher (see section 4). If any occur, consult your doctor immediately;
if you are a woman with fertility problems (Enantyum may reduce female fertility, you should therefore not take the medicine if you are planning a pregnancy or are undergoing fertility investigations);
if you suffer from a blood or blood cell formation disorder;
if you suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective tissue disease (immune system disorders affecting connective tissue);
if you have suffered in the past from a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease);
if you have suffered in the past from other disorders of the stomach or intestine
if you have chickenpox, because, in exceptional cases, NSAIDs may worsen the infection;
if you are taking other medicines that increase the risk of peptic ulcer or bleeding, such as oral steroids, some antidepressants (e.g. SSRIs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), antiplatelet agents such as aspirin or anticoagulants such as warfarin. In these cases, consult your doctor before taking Enantyum: they may prescribe you an additional medicine to protect your stomach (e.g. misoprostol or other drugs that reduce gastric acid production);
if you suffer from asthma associated with chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis and/or nasal polyps, as you have a higher risk of allergy to acetylsalicylic acid and/or NSAIDs than the rest of the population. Administration of this medicine may cause asthma attacks or bronchospasm especially in subjects allergic to acetylsalicylic acid or NSAIDs.

If your doctor has diagnosed you with intolerance to certain sugars, contact him before taking this medicine. This medicine contains 2.418 g of sucrose per dose. This should be taken into consideration in people with diabetes mellitus.

13. How to use Enantyum

Take this medicine following exactly as indicated in this leaflet or as instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Adults aged over 18 years
The recommended dose is 1 sachet (25 mg) every 8 hours, not more than 3 sachets per day (75 mg).
Consult your doctor if you do not notice any improvement or if your symptoms worsen after 3 – 4 days. Your doctor will tell you how many sachets you should take daily and for how long. The dose of Enantyum you need
depends on the type, intensity and duration of the pain.
If you are elderly or if you suffer from kidney or liver problems, you should start treatment with a total daily dose of no more than 2 sachets (50 mg).
In elderly patients, this initial dose may then be increased to the generally recommended dose (75 mg of dexketoprofen) if Enantyum has been well tolerated.
If the pain is severe and you want to obtain faster relief, take the sachets on an empty stomach (at least 15 minutes before meals), because this will facilitate absorption (see section 2 “Enantyum with food and drinks”).

Use in children and adolescents

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The possible side effects are listed below, ordered according to how likely they are to occur.
Since the list is based in part on the side effects of the tablet formulation of Enantyum, and Enantyum
granules are absorbed more quickly than tablets, the actual frequency of side effects
(gastrointestinal) may be higher with Enantyum granules.

Common side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people)
Nausea and/or vomiting, abdominal pain mainly in the upper quadrants, diarrhea, digestive problems
(dyspepsia).

Uncommon side effects (may affect up to 1 in 100 people)
Feelings of dizziness (vertigo), giddiness, drowsiness, insomnia, nervousness, headache, palpitations, hot flushes,
inflammation of the stomach wall (gastritis), constipation, dry mouth, flatulence, skin rash,
fatigue, pain, feeling of fever and chills, general feeling of discomfort (malaise).

Rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people)
Peptic ulcer, haemorrhagic or perforated peptic ulcer (which manifests with haematemesis, i.e. vomiting blood,
or black stools), fainting, hypertension, slowed breathing, fluid retention and peripheral oedema
(e.g. swollen ankles), laryngeal oedema, loss of appetite (anorexia), altered sensitivity (particularly
tactile sensitivity), itchy rash, acne, increased sweating, lower back pain, frequent urination, menstrual disorders,
prostatic problems, abnormal liver function tests (blood tests), hepatocellular damage (hepatitis),
acute renal failure.

Very rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people)
Anaphylactic reactions (hypersensitivity reactions that can also lead to collapse), open wounds on the skin,
in the mouth, in the eyes and in the genital area (Stevens Johnson syndromes and Lyell's syndrome), facial oedema or swelling
of the lips and throat (angioedema), shortness of breath due to contraction of the muscles surrounding the
airways (bronchospasm), shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, hypotension, pancreatitis, blurred
vision, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), sensitive skin, light sensitivity, itching, kidney problems. Reduced number of
white blood cells (neutropenia), decreased platelets in the blood (thrombocytopenia).
Immediately inform your doctor if you notice any stomach or intestinal side effects at the beginning of
treatment (e.g. stomach pains, acidity or bleeding), if you have previously suffered from these side
effects due to prolonged use of anti-inflammatory drugs and especially if you are elderly.
Stop using Enantyum as soon as you notice the appearance of a skin rash or any lesion inside
the mouth or on the genitals, or any signs of allergy.
During treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, effects of fluid retention
and swelling (particularly in the ankles and legs), increased blood pressure and heart failure
have been reported.
Drugs like Enantyum may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack
("myocardial infarction") or stroke.
In patients with autoimmune disorders affecting connective tissue (systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective
tissue disease), anti-inflammatory drugs can, in rare cases, cause fever, headache and
stiff neck.
The most frequently observed adverse events are of a gastrointestinal nature. Peptic ulcers may occur,
perforation or gastrointestinal bleeding, sometimes fatal, especially in the elderly. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
flatulence, constipation, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, melena, haematemesis, ulcerative stomatitis, worsening of colitis and
Crohn's disease have been reported following administration. Less frequently, inflammation of the stomach wall (gastritis) has been observed.
As with other NSAIDs, haematological reactions may occur (purpura, aplastic and hemolytic anemia and
rarely agranulocytosis and bone marrow hypoplasia).
Reporting of side effects
If you get any side effects, even those not listed in this leaflet, tell your doctor or
pharmacist. You can also report side effects directly through the national reporting system at http://www.agenziafarmaco.gov.it/content/come-segnalare-una-sospetta-reazione-

7. What is Enantyum and what is it used for

Enantyum is a pain reliever belonging to the group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
It is used for the treatment of acute pain of moderate to severe intensity when the administration of
tablets is not appropriate, for example in cases of post-operative pain, renal colic and lower back pain.

14. What you need to know before using Enantyum

Do not use Enantyum:
if you are allergic to dexketoprofen or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in
section 6);
if you are allergic to acetylsalicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
if you have asthma or have suffered from asthma attacks, acute allergic rhinitis (a short period of inflammation
of the nasal mucosa), nasal polyps (growths in the nose due to allergy), urticaria (skin rash),
angioedema (swelling of the face, eyes, lips, or tongue, or difficulty breathing) or wheezing in
the chest, after taking acetylsalicylic acid or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
if you have suffered from photoallergic or phototoxic reactions (a particular form of redness and/or blistering
of the skin following exposure to sunlight) during treatment with ketoprofen (a
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) or with fibrates (drugs used to reduce fat levels in the
blood);
if you suffer from peptic ulcer/bleeding of the stomach or intestine or if you have suffered in the past from
bleeding from the stomach or intestine, ulceration or perforation;
if you suffer or have suffered in the past from bleeding from the stomach or intestine or perforation, due to the
previous use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs);
if you have chronic digestive problems (e.g. indigestion, heartburn);
if you are affected by inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis);
if you suffer from severe heart failure, have moderate or severe kidney disorders or serious liver problems;
if you have bleeding problems or blood clotting disorders;
if you are severely dehydrated (have lost a large amount of body fluids) due to vomiting, diarrhea or
insufficient fluid intake;
if you are in the third trimester of pregnancy or are breastfeeding;

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Enantyum:
if you have suffered in the past from a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's
disease);
if you suffer or have suffered in the past from other disorders of the stomach or intestine;
if you are taking other medicines that increase the risk of peptic ulcer or bleeding, such as
oral steroids, some antidepressants (those of the SSRI type, i.e. selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors), medicines that prevent blood clotting such as aspirin or anticoagulants
such as warfarin. In these cases, consult your doctor before taking Enantyum: he/she may prescribe you an additional medicine
to protect your stomach (e.g. misoprostol or other medicines that block the
production of gastric acid);
if you have heart problems, if you have had a stroke or if you think you may be at risk for these
conditions (e.g. if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol or if you are a smoker) you should
discuss the therapy with your doctor or pharmacist; medicines such as Enantyum may be associated with a
small increased risk of heart attack ("myocardial infarction") or stroke. These risks are more likely with
high doses of the drug and with prolonged therapy. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment;
if you are elderly: there is a greater probability of being subject to side effects (see section 4).
If this happens, consult your doctor immediately;
if you suffer from allergies or have had allergic problems in the past;
if you have kidney, liver or heart disorders (hypertension and/or heart failure) or fluid retention, or have
suffered from one of these disorders in the past;
if you are being treated with diuretics or are severely dehydrated or have a reduced blood volume due to
excessive fluid loss (e.g. due to excessive urine production, diarrhea, vomiting);
if you are a woman with fertility problems (Enantyum may reduce female fertility, therefore you should not use
this medicine if you are planning a pregnancy or are undergoing fertility investigations);
if you are in the first or second trimester of pregnancy;
if you have a blood or blood cell formation disorder;
if you suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective tissue disease (immune system disorders that
involve connective tissue);
if you have chickenpox, as NSAIDs can exceptionally worsen the infection;
if you suffer from asthma associated with chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and/or nasal polyposis as you are at greater risk
of allergy to acetylsalicylic acid and/or NSAIDs compared to the rest of the population. The
administration of this medicine may cause asthma attacks or bronchospasm, especially in
subjects allergic to acetylsalicylic acid or NSAIDs.

Children and adolescents
Enantyum has not been studied in children and adolescents. Therefore, safety and efficacy have not been
established and the product should not be used in children and adolescents.

Other medicines and Enantyum
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other
medicines, including those obtained without a prescription. Some medicines must not be used in
combination with Enantyum, while others require specific adjustments, for example in the dose.

If you have any doubts about taking other medicines in association with Enantyum, consult your doctor or
pharmacist.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
Do not use Enantyum in the last three months of pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding.
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding with breast milk
ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine, as Ketesse may not be the
right medicine for you.
The use of Enantyum should be avoided by women who are planning a pregnancy or who are in
pregnancy. Treatment at any time during pregnancy should be carried out only under the direct
control of the doctor.
The use of Enantyum is not recommended while you are planning a pregnancy or during investigations for infertility.
With regard to potential effects on female fertility, also see section 2, “Warnings and
precautions”.

Driving and using machines
Enantyum may have moderate effects on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery due to the possibility of
undesirable effects such as dizziness and drowsiness associated with therapy. If you experience these effects, do not drive vehicles or use
machinery until the symptoms disappear. Ask your doctor for advice.

Enantyum contains ethanol and sodium
Each vial of Enantyum contains 12.5 vol% of ethanol (alcohol), i.e. more than 200 mg per dose, equivalent to 5 ml of
beer or 2.08 ml of wine per dose.
It is therefore harmful to those suffering from alcoholism.
This must be taken into consideration in the case of administration to women who are pregnant or
breastfeeding, in children and in high-risk groups such as patients with liver disorders or epilepsy.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per dose, so it is essentially “sodium-free”.

15. How to take Enantyum

Take this medicine following exactly the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist. If you have doubts
consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The doctor will tell you what dose of Enantyum you need, based on the type, severity and duration of your
symptoms. The recommended dose is generally 1 vial (50 mg) of Enantyum every 8 - 12 hours. If necessary,
the injection can be repeated after only 6 hours. In any case, do not exceed the total daily dose of 150 mg
of Enantyum (3 vials).

oral steroids, some antidepressants (e.g. SSRIs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors),
antiplatelet agents such as aspirin or anticoagulants such as warfarin. In these cases, consult your doctor before
taking Enantyum: he/she may prescribe you an additional medicine to protect your stomach (e.g.
misoprostol or other drugs that reduce the production of gastric acid);
if you suffer from asthma associated with chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis and/or nasal polyposis, as you have a
higher risk of allergy to acetylsalicylic acid and/or NSAIDs than the rest of the population. The
administration of this medicine may cause asthma attacks or bronchospasm especially in subjects
allergic to acetylsalicylic acid or NSAIDs.

Children and adolescents
The use of Enantyum has not been studied in children and adolescents. Therefore, safety and efficacy have not
been established and the medicine should not be used in children and adolescents.

Other medicines and Enantyum
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken or might take any
other medicines, including those available without a prescription. Some medicines must not be used in

If you have any doubts about taking other medicines in combination with Enantyum, consult your doctor or
pharmacist.

Enantyum with food and drink
Take the sachets with food, as this helps to reduce the risk of side effects on the stomach and
intestines. However, if you suffer from acute pain, take the sachet on an empty stomach, i.e. at least 30 minutes before
meals, to allow the medicine to act more quickly.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
Do not use Enantyum during the third trimester of pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, or
suspect or are planning a pregnancy, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this
medicine.
With regard to potential effects on female fertility, see also section 2 “Warnings and
precautions”.

Driving and using machines
Enantyum may slightly impair the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery, due to the possibility of
dizziness or drowsiness and visual disturbances as side effects of treatment. If you experience these effects, do not drive or
use machines until the symptoms disappear. Consult your doctor for advice.

Enantyum contains methyl parahydroxybenzoate
This medicine may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed) as it contains methyl
parahydroxybenzoate.

Enantyum contains sucrose
If you have been diagnosed with an intolerance to certain sugars, contact your doctor before taking this
medicine. This medicine contains 2.0 g of sucrose per dose. This should be taken into account in people
with diabetes mellitus.

17. How to take Enantyum

Take this medicine following exactly the instructions of your doctor. If you have doubts, consult your doctor or
pharmacist.
The dose of Enantyum you need depends on the type, intensity and duration of the pain. Your doctor will tell you how many
sachets you will need to take daily and for how long.

Adults over 18 years of age
The recommended dose is generally 1 sachet (25 mg of dexketoprofen) every 8 hours, and not more than 3 sachets per
day (75 mg).
Consult your doctor if you do not feel better after 3-4 days or if you feel worse. Your doctor will tell you how many
sachets to take per day and for how long. The dose of Enantyum you need depends on the type,
intensity and duration of the pain.
If you are elderly or if you suffer from kidney or liver problems, you should start treatment with a total daily
dose of no more than 2 sachets (50 mg of dexketoprofen).
In elderly patients, this initial dose may then be increased to the generally recommended dose (75
mg of dexketoprofen) if Enantyum has been well tolerated.
If the pain is severe and you want to obtain faster relief, take the sachets on an empty stomach (at least 30
minutes before meals), because this will facilitate absorption (see point 2 “Taking Enantyum with food
and drinks”).

Use in children and adolescents
This medicine should not be used in children and adolescents (under 18 years of age).

Instructions for correct use
The oral solution can be taken directly from the sachet or, if you prefer, you can dissolve the entire contents
in a glass of water. Once the sachet is opened, take all the contents.

If you take more Enantyum than you should
If you have taken an excessive dose of this medicine, inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately or go
to the emergency room of the nearest hospital. Remember to bring the packaging of this medicine or this

If you forget to take Enantyum
Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose. Take the next regular dose at the
scheduled time (as written in point 3 “How to use Enantyum ).
If you have further questions about the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, Enantyum can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The possible side effects are listed below, ordered according to how likely they are to occur.
Since the list is based in part on the side effects of the tablet formulation of Enantyum, and Enantyum
oral solution is absorbed more quickly than tablets, it is possible that the actual frequency of side
effects (gastrointestinal) may be higher with Enantyum oral solution in sachets.

Common side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):
Nausea and/or vomiting, abdominal pain mainly in the upper quadrants, diarrhea, digestive problems
(dyspepsia).

Uncommon side effects (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):
Feeling of dizziness (vertigo), giddiness, drowsiness, insomnia, nervousness, headache, palpitations, flushing,
inflammation of the stomach wall (gastritis), constipation, dry mouth, flatulence, skin rash,
fatigue, pain, feeling of fever and chills, general feeling of discomfort (malaise).

Rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):
Peptic ulcer, peptic ulcer with bleeding or perforation (which manifests with hematemesis, i.e. vomiting blood,
or black stools), fainting, hypertension, slowed breathing, fluid retention and peripheral edema
(e.g. swollen ankles), laryngeal edema, loss of appetite (anorexia), altered sensitivity, itchy rash
pruritus, acne, increased sweating, back pain, frequent urination, menstrual disorders, prostate problems,
abnormal liver function tests (blood tests), hepatocellular damage (hepatitis), acute renal failure.

Very rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people):
Anaphylactic reactions (hypersensitivity reactions that can also lead to collapse), open wounds on the skin,
mouth, eyes and genitals (Stevens Johnson syndrome and Lyell's syndrome), facial edema or swelling
of the lips and throat (angioedema), shortness of breath due to contraction of the muscles surrounding the
airways (bronchospasm), shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, hypotension, pancreatitis, blurred
vision, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), sensitive skin, light sensitivity, itching, kidney problems. Reduced number of
white blood cells (neutropenia), decreased platelets in the blood (thrombocytopenia).
Immediately inform your doctor if you notice any side effects in the stomach or intestines at the beginning of
treatment (e.g. stomach pain, acidity or bleeding), if you have previously suffered from these side
effects due to prolonged use of anti-inflammatory drugs and especially if you are elderly.
Stop using Enantyum as soon as you notice the appearance of a skin rash or any lesion inside
the mouth or genitals, or any signs of allergy.
During treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, effects of fluid retention
and swelling (particularly in the ankles and legs), increased blood pressure and heart failure have been reported.
Drugs like Enantyum may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack
("myocardial infarction") or stroke.
In patients with autoimmune disorders affecting connective tissue (systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective
tissue disease), anti-inflammatory drugs can, in rare cases, cause fever, headache and
stiff neck.
The most commonly observed adverse events are of a gastrointestinal nature. Peptic ulcers may occur,
perforation or gastrointestinal bleeding, sometimes fatal especially in the elderly. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
flatulence, constipation, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, melena, hematemesis, ulcerative stomatitis, worsening of colitis and
Crohn's disease have been reported following administration. Less frequently, inflammation of the stomach wall (gastritis) has been observed.
As with other NSAIDs, aseptic meningitis may occur, which can occur predominantly in patients affected
by systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective tissue disease and hematological reactions (purpura, aplastic and hemolytic anemia, and more rarely agranulocytosis and bone marrow hypoplasia).

Reporting of side effects
If you get any side effects, even those not listed in this leaflet, tell your doctor or
pharmacist. You can also report side effects directly through the national reporting system at www.agenziafarmaco.gov.it/it/responsabili. By reporting side effects you can
help provide more information on the safety of this medicine.

9. What is Enantyum and what is it used for?

Enantyum is a pain reliever belonging to the group of medicines called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
It is used for the symptomatic treatment of short-term acute pain of mild to moderate intensity, such as
acute muscle pain, joint pain, painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea), toothache. Enantyum is indicated for
adults.

18. What you need to know before you take Enantyum

of the nasal mucosa), nasal polyps (polypoid masses in the nose due to allergy), urticaria (skin rash),
angioedema (swelling of the face, eyes, lips or tongue, or difficulty breathing) or wheezing in
the chest, after taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs;
if you have suffered from photoallergic or phototoxic reactions (a particular form of redness and/or
irritation of the skin exposed to sunlight) in conjunction with the use of ketoprofen (an NSAID) or
fibrates (drugs used to lower lipid levels in the blood);
if you suffer from peptic ulcer/bleeding of the stomach or intestines or if you have suffered in the past from
bleeding, ulceration or perforation of the stomach or intestines;
if you have chronic digestive problems (e.g. indigestion, heartburn);
if you have previously suffered from bleeding or perforation of the stomach or intestines due to the use of non-
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain;
if you suffer from chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis);

if you have suffered from one of these disorders in the past;
if you are taking diuretics or if you are poorly hydrated and if you have a reduced blood volume due to
excessive fluid loss (e.g. due to excessive urination, diarrhea, vomiting);
if you have heart disease, if you have had a stroke or if you think you may be at risk for these
conditions (e.g. if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol or if you are a smoker), discuss the
therapy with your doctor or pharmacist; drugs like Enantyum may be associated with a slight increase
in the risk of heart attack ("myocardial infarction") or stroke. These risks
are more likely with high doses of the drug and with prolonged therapy. Do not exceed the recommended dose
or the duration of treatment;
if you are elderly, the risk of side effects is higher (see section 4); if these occur, consult your doctor immediately;

if you suffer from or have previously suffered from other stomach or intestinal disorders;
if you have chickenpox, because, in exceptional cases, NSAIDs may worsen the infection;
if you are taking other medicines that increase the risk of peptic ulcer or bleeding, such as
oral steroids, some antidepressants (e.g. SSRIs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors),
antiplatelet agents such as aspirin or anticoagulants such as warfarin. In these cases, consult your doctor before
taking Enantyum: he/she may prescribe you an additional medicine to protect your stomach (e.g.
misoprostol or other drugs that reduce gastric acid production);
if you suffer from asthma associated with chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis and/or nasal polyps, as you have a
higher risk of allergy to acetylsalicylic acid and/or NSAIDs than the rest of the population. Administration of this
medicine may cause asthma attacks or bronchospasm especially in subjects

the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain;
if you suffer from chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis);
if you suffer from severe heart failure, moderate or severe kidney failure or severe
liver problems;
if you have bleeding problems or coagulation disorders;
if you are severely dehydrated (have lost a lot of fluids) due to vomiting, diarrhea or insufficient
fluid intake;
if you are in the third trimester of pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Enantyum:
if you suffer from allergies, or have had allergy problems in the past;
if you have problems with your kidneys, liver or heart (hypertension and/or heart failure) and fluid retention,
or if you have suffered from one of these disorders in the past;
if you are being treated with diuretics or if you are poorly hydrated and if you have a reduced blood volume
due to excessive fluid loss (e.g. due to excessive urination, diarrhea, vomiting);
if you suffer from heart disease, if you have had a stroke or if you think you may be at risk for
these conditions (e.g. if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol or if you
are a smoker), discuss the therapy with your doctor or pharmacist; drugs like Enantyum may be
associated with a slight increase in the risk of heart attack ("myocardial infarction") or
stroke. These risks are more likely with high doses of the drug and
with prolonged therapy. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment;
if you are elderly: the risk of side effects is higher (see section 4). If
they occur, consult your doctor immediately;
if you are a woman with fertility problems (see section 2, “Pregnancy, breastfeeding and
fertility”);
if you suffer from a blood or blood cell formation disorder;
if you suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective tissue disease (immune system disorders
that affect connective tissue);
if you have suffered in the past from a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis,
Crohn's disease);
if you suffer from or have suffered in the past from other disorders of the stomach or intestine;
if you have an infection – see section “Infections” below;
if you are taking other medicines that increase the risk of peptic ulcer or bleeding, such as
oral steroids, some antidepressants (e.g. SSRIs, selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors), agents that prevent blood clot formation such as
aspirin or anticoagulants such as warfarin. In these cases, consult your doctor before taking
Enantyum: they may prescribe you an additional medicine to protect your stomach (e.g.
misoprostol or other drugs that block the production of gastric acids);
if you suffer from asthma associated with chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis and/or nasal polyps, as you
have a higher risk of allergy to acetylsalicylic acid and/or NSAIDs than the rest of the
population. The administration of this medicine may cause asthma attacks or
bronchospasm especially in subjects allergic to acetylsalicylic acid or NSAIDs.

Infections
Dexketoprofen can mask the symptoms of infection such as fever and pain. Therefore, it is possible
that this medicine may delay adequate treatment of the infection, which could
increase the risk of complications. This has been observed in pneumonia caused by bacteria and in
bacterial skin infections related to varicella. If you take this medicine while you have
an infection and the symptoms of the infection persist or worsen, see your doctor immediately.
Do not use Enantyum if you have chickenpox.

Children and adolescents
The use of Enantyum has not been studied in children and adolescents. Therefore, safety and
efficacy have not been established and the medicine should not be used in children and
adolescents.

Other medicines and Enantyum
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take
any other medicines, including those available without a prescription. Some medicines cannot
be used together, while others require adjustments to the dosage if taken
at the same time.

following medicines in addition to Enantyum:

Aminoglycoside antibiotics, used in the treatment of bacterial infections
Sulfonylureas (e.g. chlorpropamide and glibenclamide) used for diabetes
Methotrexate, used at low doses, less than 15 mg/week
Associations to be carefully evaluated:
Quinolone antibiotics (e.g. ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) used for bacterial infections

Beta-blockers, used for high blood pressure and heart problems
Tenofovir, deferasirox, pemetrexed
If you have any doubts about taking other medicines in combination with Enantyum, consult
your doctor or pharmacist.

Enantyum with food and drink and alcohol
In general, it is recommended to take this medicine with meals to reduce the possibility of
gastrointestinal disturbances (see also section 3, “How to take”).
The use of NSAIDs in combination with alcohol may intensify the adverse reactions caused by the active
ingredient.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
Do not use Enantyum during the last three months of pregnancy or if you are breastfeeding.
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, ask your
doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine, as Enantyum may not be the
right medicine for you.
The use of Enantyum should be avoided by women who are planning a pregnancy or who are
pregnant. Treatment at any time during pregnancy should be carried out only
under the direct control of a doctor.
The use of Enantyum may impair your fertility, therefore it is not recommended to take
the medicine if you are planning a pregnancy or are undergoing fertility investigations.

Driving and using machines
Enantyum may slightly affect your ability to drive and operate machinery, due to the
possibility of side effects associated with therapy such as dizziness or drowsiness. If you experience these
effects, do not drive or use machinery until the symptoms have disappeared. Consult your doctor for
advice.

Enantyum contains sodium
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per dosage unit, i.e. it is
essentially "sodium-free”.

3. How to take Enantyum

[For medicines available only on prescription:]
Take this medicine following exactly the instructions of your doctor. If you have any doubts,
consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Your doctor will tell you how many sachets you need to take each day and for how long.
[For medicines available without a prescription:]
Take this medicine following exactly as stated in this leaflet or as
instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any doubts consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The dose of Enantyum you need depends on the type, intensity and duration of the pain.
The lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest period necessary to relieve the
symptoms. If you have an infection, see your doctor immediately if symptoms (e.g.
fever and pain) persist or worsen (see section 2).

Adults over 18 years of age
The recommended dose is generally 1 sachet (25 mg) every 8 hours, not more than 3 sachets per day
(75 mg).

Elderly, hepatic and renal impairment
If you are elderly or suffer from mild renal problems or mild to moderate liver problems, you should start the
treatment with a total daily dose not exceeding 2 sachets (50 mg).
In elderly patients this initial dose may subsequently be increased to the
generally recommended dose (75 mg), if Enantyum has been well tolerated.
You should not use Enantyum if you suffer from moderate or severe renal impairment or severe
liver problems. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Use in children and adolescents
This medicine should not be used in children and adolescents (under 18 years of age).

Method of administration
Place the entire dose of one sachet of granules directly on the tongue and swallow as soon as
it dissolves in the mouth, or by drinking a glass of water.
It can be taken with or without food. Taking Enantyum with food helps to reduce the risk of
stomach upset, however, if the pain is severe and you need faster relief, take
the granules on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before any meal or food intake) because
it will be absorbed more easily (see section 2 "Enantyum with food, drinks and alcohol").
[For medicines available without a prescription:]

Duration of treatment
See your doctor if you do not feel better after 3-4 days or if you feel worse.

If you take more Enantyum than you should
If you have taken an excessive dose of this medicine, inform your doctor or
pharmacist immediately or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. Remember to bring with you

If you forget to take Enantyum
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed sachet. Take the regular dose
next scheduled time (according to section 3 “How to take Enantyum ).
If you have further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Hocine Lokchiri

Medycyna ogólna21 lata doświadczenia

Lek. Hocine Lokchiri to francuski konsultant z ponad 20-letnim doświadczeniem w medycynie ogólnej i ratunkowej. Przyjmuje osoby dorosłe i dzieci, pomagając w nagłych objawach, infekcjach, nagłym pogorszeniu samopoczucia oraz w typowych sytuacjach, które wymagają szybkiej oceny lekarskiej. Pracował we Francji, Szwajcarii i Zjednoczonych Emiratach Arabskich, dzięki czemu swobodnie porusza się w różnych systemach ochrony zdrowia i potrafi skutecznie prowadzić pacjentów w szerokim zakresie schorzeń. Pacjenci cenią go za spokojny styl pracy, jasne wyjaśnienia i podejście oparte na aktualnych dowodach medycznych.

Konsultacja online z lekarzem jest odpowiednia wtedy, gdy potrzebna jest szybka ocena objawów, wskazówki dotyczące dalszego postępowania lub wyjaśnienie, czy konieczna jest wizyta stacjonarna. Do najczęstszych powodów zgłaszania się należą:

  • gorączka, dreszcze, uczucie osłabienia
  • kaszel, ból gardła, katar lub łagodna duszność
  • zapalenie oskrzeli oraz łagodne zaostrzenia astmy
  • nudności, biegunka, ból brzucha, objawy infekcji jelitowej
  • wysypki, reakcje alergiczne, zaczerwienienia, ukąszenia
  • bóle mięśni i stawów, lekkie urazy, skręcenia
  • bóle głowy, zawroty, objawy migreny
  • problemy ze snem oraz dolegliwości związane ze stresem
  • omówienie wyników badań i planu leczenia
  • kontrola chorób przewlekłych w stabilnej fazie
Pacjenci często kontaktują się z lek. Lokchirim, gdy objawy pojawiają się nagle i budzą niepokój, gdy dziecko zaczyna źle się czuć bez wyraźnej przyczyny, gdy wysypka zmienia wygląd lub szybko się rozszerza, lub gdy trzeba podjąć decyzję, czy konieczny jest kontakt osobisty. Jego duże doświadczenie w medycynie ratunkowej jest szczególnie cenne podczas konsultacji online — pomaga ocenić ryzyko, wskazać objawy alarmowe i zaplanować kolejne bezpieczne kroki.

Są też sytuacje, których nie da się bezpiecznie prowadzić online. Utrata przytomności, silny ból w klatce piersiowej, drgawki, masywne krwawienie, poważne urazy lub objawy sugerujące udar czy zawał wymagają natychmiastowego wezwania lokalnych służb ratunkowych. Takie zasady zwiększają bezpieczeństwo i budują zaufanie pacjentów.

Zaawansowane szkolenia lek. Lokchiriego obejmują:

  • Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS)
  • BLS/ACLS – podstawowe i zaawansowane wsparcie krążeniowo-oddechowe

  • medycyna lotnicza
Jest aktywnym członkiem kilku organizacji zawodowych, m.in. Francuskiego Towarzystwa Medycyny Ratunkowej (SFMU), Francuskiego Stowarzyszenia Lekarzy Medycyny Ratunkowej (AMUF) oraz Szwajcarskiego Towarzystwa Medycyny Ratunkowej i Ratownictwa (SGNOR). W pracy stawia na jasną komunikację, precyzyjną ocenę objawów i wspólne podejmowanie decyzji z pacjentem.
