Aspirina e metoclopramida para enxaqueca

About aspirin and metoclopramide

MigraMax® is a combination medicine containing a type of aspirin, called lysine acetylsalicylate, and metoclopramide. Aspirin belongs to a group of medicines known as analgésicos (remédios para dor). It helps to ease the pain you feel during a migraine headache. Metoclopramide is an medicamento contra enjoo, also called an anti-emetic. It helps to stop you from feeling sick (nausea).

This medicine is used to treat headache and sickness during an occasional migraine attack. If you have migraines frequently, you should discuss this with your doctor, as there are other medicines available that can help to reduce the number of migraine attacks.

Before taking aspirin and metoclopramide

Some medicines are not suitable for people with certain conditions, and sometimes a medicine may only be used if extra care is taken. For these reasons, before you take MigraMax® it is important that your doctor knows:

• Se você está grávida, tentando ter um bebê ou amamentando.

• If you are under 18 years of age - MigraMax® must not be taken by anyone under 18 years old.

• If you have epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, or gout.

• Se você tiver algum problema com o funcionamento do seu fígado ou com o funcionamento dos seus rins.

• Se você sabe que tem um problema no sistema digestivo, como uma obstrução ou qualquer sangramento interno.

• If you have a heart condition or a problem with your thyroid gland.

• If you have a blood disorder such as haemophilia, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.

• If you have a tumour on your adrenal gland (known as phaeochromocytoma).

• If you have ever had an unusual or allergic-type reaction after taking aspirin or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs include ibuprofen, diclofenac, indometacin and naproxen. You should also let your doctor know if you have ever had an allergic reaction to any other medicine.

Obtendo o máximo do seu tratamento

• Várias coisas podem desencadear enxaquecas em algumas pessoas. Isso pode incluir alguns alimentos (por exemplo, queijo, chocolate e vinho tinto), preocupação, luz solar intensa, muito ou pouco sono e pular refeições. Se você não tem certeza se essas coisas desencadeiam uma enxaqueca para você, pode ser útil manter um diário de enxaqueca. Anote quando e onde cada ataque de enxaqueca começou, o que você estava fazendo e o que você comeu naquele dia. Um padrão pode surgir e pode ser possível evitar algumas das coisas que desencadeiam um ataque.

• Try to keep any follow-up appointments with your doctor. MigraMax® will only be prescribed for a short period of time. Only take it during a migraine attack.

• You will not be prescribed the treatment for longer than three months in total, as this could lead to some serious unwanted effects. If you continue to be troubled with migraines, discuss this with your doctor, as an alternative preparation will be more suitable for you.

• It is important that you do not take more than one preparation containing aspirin at a time. Aspirin is an ingredient in some over-the-counter preparations for cold and flu, so before you take any other medicines, check the label to see whether they contain aspirin.

• Algumas pessoas que têm ataques frequentes de enxaqueca estão, na verdade, tendo dor de cabeça induzida por medicação. A dor de cabeça induzida por medicação (também chamada de dor de cabeça por uso excessivo de medicação) é causada pelo uso excessivo de analgésicos. Se você usa analgésicos mais de dois dias por semana regularmente, pode estar em risco disso. Você deve conversar com seu médico se suspeitar disso.

• Taking too much aspirin can cause serious problems. If you suspect that you have taken more than the prescribed dose, or if a child accidentally ingests the contents of a sachet, contact your local accident and emergency department for advice imediatamente.
