1. What FLUNAGEN is and what it is used for
FLUNAGEN is an anti-vertigo preparation; it contains an active ingredient: flunarizine
hydrochloride.
It is used in the prophylactic treatment of migraine with frequent and severe attacks
in patients who have not responded to other therapies and/or in whom such therapies have
caused serious side effects.
See your doctor if you do not notice any improvement or if you notice a worsening of symptoms
after the prescribed days of therapy.
2. What you need to know before using FLUNAGEN
Do not use FLUNAGEN
- if you are allergicto the active ingredient or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
- if you suffer from current or past depressive problems, with pre-existing symptoms of Parkinson's disease or other extrapyramidal disorders, for example rigidity, resting tremor, slow or clumsy movements (see “Possible Side Effects”).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using FLUNAGEN.
In cases where weakness (asthenia) increases progressively, your doctor may advise you to discontinue therapy.
Do not exceed the recommended doses. Your doctor will subject you to regular checks, especially during maintenance therapy, to look for the first signs of extrapyramidal (rigidity, resting tremor, slow, clumsy movements) or depressive symptoms in order to promptly interrupt treatment. These checks will be particularly careful if you are elderly. If your doctor notices that the treatment is losing effectiveness during the maintenance phase, they will tell you to stop the therapy (for the duration of treatment see “How to use FLUNAGEN”).
Children and adolescents
Safety and efficacy in children have not been established. Therefore, the use of the product in pediatric patients is not recommended.
Other medicines and FLUNAGEN
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
If you are taking medicines that induce a state similar to natural sleep (hypnotics), sedatives (anxiolytics) and other psychotropic drugs, the interaction with Flunagen may cause excessive sedation. For the same reason, do not drink alcoholic beverages during therapy.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
Since its safety of use has not been established, the use of flunarizine during pregnancy is not recommended.
As there are no data available on the excretion of flunarizine in breast milk, the use of the product during breastfeeding is not recommended.
Use in patients with celiac disease: if a patient with celiac disease can safely take the product.
Driving and using machinery
FLUNAGEN, especially in the initial phase of therapy, may cause drowsiness; exercise extreme caution during operations requiring careful attention (driving motor vehicles, dangerous machinery, etc.).

3. How to use FLUNAGEN

Attack therapy:

be taken at bedtime;
if you are over 65 years of age this dosage should be reduced to 5 mg.
If during this phase of treatment depression, extrapyramidal signs or other
serious side effects appear, your doctor will tell you to stop treatment. If after two
months no significant improvements are observed, your doctor will tell you to stop the
therapy.
Maintenance therapy:
if you respond satisfactorily and if maintenance therapy is considered necessary, your doctor will reduce the daily dose and tell you to take Flunagen on
alternate days, i.e. for 5 consecutive days with a 2-day break every
week.
Even if prophylactic treatment is effective and well tolerated, it must be
interrupted after six months and can only be resumed in case of relapse (recurrence).
If you use more FLUNAGEN than you should
In case of accidental ingestion/intake of an excessive dose of FLUNAGEN
immediately inform your doctor or go to the nearest hospital.
