1. What Aspifox is and what it is used for
Aspifox contains two active substances – rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid.
-
Rosuvastatin belongs to a group of substances called statins, which are medicines that regulate lipid (fat) levels by lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood when a low-fat diet and lifestyle changes alone have failed. Cholesterol is a fatty substance (lipid) that can cause narrowing of the blood vessels in the heart, leading to heart coronary disease. If you are at risk of having a heart attack, rosuvastatin may also be used to reduce this risk, even if your cholesterol levels are normal. You should maintain a cholesterol-lowering diet during treatment.
-
Acetylsalicylic acid, in low doses, belongs to a group of medicines called antiplatelet agents. Platelets are small blood cells involved in blood clotting and in thrombosis. When a blood clot forms in an artery, it blocks blood flow and cuts off the oxygen supply. When this occurs in the heart, it can cause a heart attack or angina.
These two active substances, taken together, reduce the likelihood of having another heart attack if you have previously had one, or if you suffer from chest pain attacks (unstable angina).
Aspifox is indicated for patients who are already taking rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid at these doses. Instead of taking rosuvastatin and acetylsalicylic acid as separate tablets, you will receive one Aspifox capsule containing both components at the same doses as before.
2. What you need to know before taking Aspifox
Do not take Aspifox
- If you are allergic to rosuvastatin, acetylsalicylic acid, or any other salicylate or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you become pregnant while taking Aspifox, stop taking this medicine immediately and inform your doctor. Women must avoid becoming pregnant while taking Aspifox by using appropriate contraceptive methods.
- If you have liver disease.
- If you have severe kidney problems.
- If you have repeated or unexplained muscle pains.
- If you are taking a combination of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir (used for the viral liver infection called hepatitis C).
- If you are taking a medicine called cyclosporine (used, for example, after organ transplantation).
- If you have previously experienced an asthma attack or swelling of certain body parts, such as face, lips, throat, or tongue (angioedema), after taking salicylates or NSAIDs.
- If you have ever developed a severe skin rash, skin peeling, blisters, and/or mouth sores after taking rosuvastatin or other related medicines.
- If you currently have or have ever had a stomach or small intestine ulcer or any other type of bleeding, such as a brain hemorrhage.
- If you have ever had a problem with your blood not clotting properly.
- If you suffer from gout.
- If you have uncompensated heart failure.
- If you are taking a medicine called methotrexate (for example, for cancer or rheumatoid arthritis) at doses exceeding 15 mg per week.
- If you are allergic to peanuts or soy
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Aspifox
- If you have kidney problems.
- If you have liver problems.
- If you have had repeated or unexplained muscle pain or discomfort, personal or family history of muscle disorders, or previous muscle problems while taking other cholesterol-lowering medicines. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain or discomfort, especially if you feel unwell or have a fever. Also inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have persistent muscle weakness.
- If you have or have had myasthenia (a disease characterized by generalized muscle weakness, which in some cases affects breathing muscles) or ocular myasthenia (a disease causing weakness of eye muscles), as statins may sometimes worsen the condition or trigger the onset of myasthenia (see section 4).
- If you regularly drink large amounts of alcohol.
- If your thyroid gland is not functioning properly.
- If you are taking other medicines called fibrates to lower cholesterol. Read this leaflet carefully, even if you have previously taken other medicines for high cholesterol.
- If you are taking medicines used against HIV infection, for example ritonavir with lopinavir and/or atazanavir, see "Other medicines and Aspifox".
- If you are taking or have taken in the last 7 days medicines containing fusidic acid (used to treat bacterial infections) taken orally or by injection; taking Aspifox with fusidic acid may cause severe muscle problems (rhabdomyolysis); see "Other medicines and Aspifox".
- If you have severe respiratory insufficiency.
- If you are over 70 years old.
- If you are of Asian origin, i.e., Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, or Indian. Your doctor should choose the correct starting dose of Aspifox suitable for you.
- If you have or have had stomach or small intestine problems (ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding).
- If you have high blood pressure.
- If you are asthmatic, have hay fever, nasal polyps, or other chronic respiratory diseases; acetylsalicylic acid may trigger an asthma attack.
- In case of hypersensitivity (allergy) to other painkillers and anti-inflammatory medicines, other rheumatism medicines, or other allergy-causing factors.
- If you have other allergies (e.g., skin reactions, itching).
- If you are taking other medicines called anticoagulants (e.g., coumarin derivatives, heparin, except for low-dose heparin treatment).
- With renal insufficiency or reduced cardiac and vascular blood flow (e.g., kidney vascular disease, cardiac muscle weakness, reduced blood volume, major surgery, blood poisoning, or increased bleeding): acetylsalicylic acid may further increase the risk of renal dysfunction and acute renal failure.
- If you have heavy menstrual periods.
You must seek immediate medical attention if your symptoms worsen or if you experience serious or unexpected side effects, such as signs of unusual bleeding, severe skin reactions, or any other sign of a severe allergic reaction (see section "Possible side effects").
Severe skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), have been reported with rosuvastatin treatment. Stop using Aspifox and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the symptoms described in section 4.
In a small number of people, statins may affect the liver. This is detected by a simple blood test showing elevated liver enzyme levels. For this reason, your doctor will usually perform this blood test (liver function test) before and during treatment with Aspifox.
While taking this medicine, your doctor will monitor you for diabetes or risk of developing it. You are more likely to be at risk of developing diabetes if you have high levels of sugar and fats in the blood, are overweight, or have high blood pressure.
Be careful not to become dehydrated (you may feel thirsty with a dry mouth), as the use of acetylsalicylic acid at the same time may lead to worsening of kidney function.
Inform your doctor if you are planning to undergo surgery (even minor procedures, such as tooth extraction), as acetylsalicylic acid thins the blood and may increase the risk of bleeding.
Acetylsalicylic acid may cause Reye's syndrome when given to children. Reye's syndrome is a very rare disease affecting the brain and liver and can be potentially fatal. For this reason, Aspifox must not be given to children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
In patients with severe glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: acetylsalicylic acid may cause accelerated breakdown of red blood cells or a certain form of anemia. This risk may be increased by factors such as high doses, fever, or acute infections.
Acetylsalicylic acid reduces uric acid excretion at low doses. This may trigger a gout attack in patients at risk.
If you cut yourself or are injured, bleeding may take slightly longer than normal. This is related to the effect of acetylsalicylic acid. Minor cuts and injuries (e.g., while shaving) are usually not significant. If you experience unusual bleeding (in an unusual location or of unusual duration), contact your doctor.
Children and adolescents
Aspifox must not be used in children or adolescents.
Other medicines and Aspifox
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicine.
Aspifox may affect or be affected by other medicines, such as:
- fibrates (e.g., gemfibrozil, fenofibrate) or any other medicine used to lower cholesterol (e.g., ezetimibe)
- treatments for indigestion (used to neutralize stomach acid)
- oral contraceptives (the pill)
- hormone replacement therapy
- regorafenib, darolutamide, capmatinib (used to treat cancer)
- fostamatinib (used to treat low platelet counts)
- febuxostat (used to treat and prevent high blood uric acid levels)
- teriflunomide (used to treat multiple sclerosis)
- any of the following medicines used to treat viral infections, including HIV or hepatitis C, alone or in combination (see "Warnings and precautions"):
ritonavir, lopinavir, atazanavir, sofosbuvir, voxilaprevir, ombitasvir, paritaprevir, dasabuvir, velpatasvir, grazoprevir, elbasvir, glecaprevir, pibrentasvir
- ketoconazole, itraconazole (antifungal medicines)
- rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin (antibiotics)
- blood-thinning/clot-preventing treatments (e.g., warfarin, heparin, coumarin, clopidogrel, ticlopidine, ticagrelor): acetylsalicylic acid may increase the risk of bleeding if taken before clot dissolution or blood-thinning treatment. Therefore, if undergoing such treatment, pay attention to signs of external or internal bleeding (e.g., bruising)
- treatments to prevent organ rejection after transplantation (cyclosporine, tacrolimus)
- treatments for high blood pressure (e.g., diuretics and ACE inhibitors)
- treatments to regulate heart rhythm (digoxin)
- treatments for manic-depressive disorder (lithium)
- treatments for pain and inflammation (e.g., NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or steroids)
- treatments for gout (e.g., probenecid, benzbromarone)
- treatments for glaucoma (acetazolamide)
- cancer or rheumatoid arthritis medicines (methotrexate; at doses below 15 mg per week)
- medicines to lower blood sugar (antidiabetic medicines) (e.g., glibenclamide): blood sugar levels may decrease
- treatments for depression (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as sertraline or paroxetine)
- treatments such as hormone replacement therapy when adrenal glands or pituitary gland have been destroyed or removed (except for products applied to the skin or cortisone replacement therapy for Addison's disease), or to treat inflammation, including rheumatic diseases and intestinal inflammation (corticosteroids). Concomitant use increases the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.
- brain anti-convulsant treatments [epilepsy] (valproic acid)
- medicines causing increased urinary excretion (diuretics: aldosterone antagonists such as spironolactone and canrenoate, loop diuretics, e.g., furosemide)
- metamizole (a substance to reduce pain and fever) may reduce the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on platelet aggregation (blood cells stick together and form a blood clot) when taken concomitantly. Therefore, this combination should be used with caution in patients taking low-dose acetylsalicylic acid for cardioprotection.
- alcohol: increases the risk of gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.
If you need to take oral fusidic acid to treat a bacterial infection, you must temporarily stop using Aspifox. Your doctor will tell you when it is safe to restart treatment with this medicine. Taking Aspifox with fusidic acid may cause muscle weakness, tenderness, or pain (rhabdomyolysis). See more information on rhabdomyolysis in section 4.
Aspifox may further reduce your blood pressure if you are already taking other medicines to treat high blood pressure.
Taking Aspifox with food and drinks
You should take Aspifox with food. Do not drink grapefruit juice during treatment with Aspifox.
Alcohol consumption may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and prolong bleeding time.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Do not take Aspifox if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while taking Aspifox, stop taking the medicine immediately and consult your doctor. Women must avoid becoming pregnant by using appropriate contraceptive methods.
Driving and using machines
Most people can drive a car and operate machinery while being treated with Aspifox; this will not affect your ability. However, some people may feel dizzy during treatment with Aspifox. If you feel unwell, dizzy, tired, or have a headache during treatment, do not drive or use machinery and contact your doctor immediately.
