1. What Auretica is and what it is used for
What Auretica is
Auretica contains an active substance called ticagrelor, which belongs to a group of medicines known as antiplatelet agents.
What Auretica is used for
Auretica, in combination with acetylsalicylic acid (another antiplatelet agent), should only be used in adult patients. You have been prescribed this medicine because you have:
- had a heart attack more than one year ago. This medicine reduces the likelihood that you will suffer another heart attack or stroke, or that you may die from heart or blood vessel-related disease.
How Auretica works
Auretica acts on blood cells called 'platelets' (also known as thrombocytes). These are very small blood cells that help stop bleeding by clumping together to seal tiny holes in cut or damaged blood vessels.
However, platelets can also form clots inside diseased blood vessels of the heart and brain. This can be very dangerous because:
- the clot may completely block blood flow; this can cause a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or a stroke, or
- the clot may partially block blood vessels supplying the heart; this reduces blood flow to the heart and may cause chest pain that comes and goes (known as 'unstable angina').
Auretica helps prevent platelets from sticking together. This reduces the likelihood of forming a blood clot that could restrict blood flow.
2. What you need to know before taking this medicine
Do not take Auretica if:
- You are allergic to ticagrelor or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- You are currently experiencing active bleeding.
- You have had a stroke caused by bleeding in the brain.
- You suffer from severe liver disease.
- You are taking any of the following medicines:
- ketoconazole (used to treat fungal infections)
- clarithromycin (used to treat bacterial infections)
- nefazodone (an antidepressant)
- ritonavir and atazanavir (used to treat HIV infection and AIDS)
Do not take Auretica if any of the situations listed above apply to you. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Auretica if:
- You have an increased risk of bleeding due to:
- a recent severe injury
- recent surgery (including dental procedures; please consult your dentist)
- a disease affecting blood clotting
- recent bleeding from the stomach or intestines (e.g., due to gastric ulcer or colon "polyps")
- You are scheduled for surgery (including dental procedures) at any time while taking Auretica. This is because there is an increased risk of bleeding. Your doctor may instruct you to stop taking this medicine 5 days before surgery.
- Your heart rate is unusually slow (generally less than 60 beats per minute) and you do not already have a heart rhythm-regulating device implanted (pacemaker).
- You suffer from asthma or any other lung disease or breathing difficulties.
- You develop irregular breathing patterns such as rapid breathing, slow breathing, or brief pauses in breathing. Your doctor will decide whether further evaluation is needed.
- You have previously had liver problems or any liver-related condition.
- You have previously had blood tests showing higher than normal levels of uric acid. If any of the situations listed above apply to you (or if you are unsure), consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
If you are taking both Auretica and heparin:
- Your doctor may request a blood sample for diagnostic testing if they suspect a rare platelet disorder caused by heparin. It is important to inform your doctor that you are taking both Auretica and heparin, as Auretica may affect the diagnostic test.
Children and adolescents
Auretica is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
Other medicines and Auretica
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This is because Auretica can affect how some medicines work, and some medicines can affect Auretica.
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines:
- rosuvastatin (a medicine used to treat high cholesterol)
- more than 40 mg daily of simvastatin or lovastatin (medicines used to treat high cholesterol)
- rifampicin (an antibiotic)
- phenytoin, carbamazepine, and phenobarbital (used to control epileptic seizures)
- digoxin (used to treat heart failure)
- cyclosporine (used to suppress the immune system)
- quinidine and diltiazem (used to treat abnormal heart rhythms)
- beta-blockers and verapamil (used to treat high blood pressure)
- morphine and other opioids (used to treat severe pain)
In particular, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines, which increase the risk of bleeding:
- 'oral anticoagulants', often referred to as 'blood thinners', including warfarin.
- Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), commonly used as painkillers, such as ibuprofen and naproxen.
- Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), taken as antidepressants, such as paroxetine, sertraline, and citalopram.
- other medicines such as ketoconazole (used to treat fungal infections), clarithromycin (used to treat bacterial infections), nefazodone (an antidepressant), ritonavir and atazanavir (used to treat HIV infection and AIDS), cisapride (used to treat heartburn), or ergot alkaloids (used to treat migraine and headache).
Additionally, inform your doctor that, since you are taking Auretica, you may have an increased risk of bleeding if your doctor prescribes fibrinolytic agents, often called 'thrombolytics', such as streptokinase or alteplase.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
The use of Auretica is not recommended during pregnancy or if you suspect you may be pregnant. Women should use appropriate contraceptive methods to avoid pregnancy while taking this medicine.
Consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are breastfeeding. Your doctor will discuss with you the benefits and risks of treatment with Auretica during this period.
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
Driving and using machines
It is unlikely that Auretica will affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.
However, if you experience dizziness or confusion while taking Auretica, exercise caution when driving or operating machinery.
3. How to take Auretica
Take this medicine exactly as instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you have
any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
How much Auretica to take
- The usual dose is one 60 mg tablet twice daily. Continue taking Auretica for the entire duration indicated by your doctor.
- Take this medicine at approximately the same time each day (for example, one tablet in the morning and one in the evening).
If you take Auretica with other blood-thinning medicines
Your doctor will generally also instruct you to take acetylsalicylic acid. This is a substance
found in many medicines used to prevent blood clotting. Your doctor will tell you
how much to take (usually between 75 and 150 mg per day).
How to take Auretica
- You may take the tablet during or apart from meals.
- You can check when you took your last dose of Auretica by looking at the blister pack. There is a sun symbol (for the morning) and a moon symbol (for the evening). These will help you remember whether you have taken your dose.
If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet
If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet, you may crush it and mix it with water as follows:
- Crush the tablet into a fine powder.
- Pour the powder into half a glass of water.
- Mix and drink immediately.
- To ensure you do not leave any medicine behind, rinse the empty glass with another half glass of water and drink it. If you are in hospital, the tablet may be given to you mixed with a small amount of water and administered through a tube inserted through the nose (nasogastric tube).
If you take more Auretica than you should
If you have taken more Auretica than you should have, contact your doctor or go to hospital
immediately. Take the medicine packaging with you. You may be at increased risk of
bleeding.
If you forget to take Auretica
- If you forget to take a dose, take the next dose as scheduled.
- Do not take a double dose (two doses at the same time) to make up for a missed dose.
If you stop taking Auretica
Do not stop taking Auretica without first talking to your doctor. Take this medicine
regularly for as long as your doctor prescribes it. If you stop taking Auretica, this
may increase your risk of having another heart attack or stroke, or of dying from
a condition related to heart or blood vessel disease.
If you have any questions about how to use this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. The following side effects may occur with this medicine:
Auretica affects blood clotting; therefore, most side effects are related to bleeding. Bleeding can occur anywhere in the body. Some bleedings are common (such as bruising and nosebleeds). Severe bleeding is uncommon in frequency but may be life-threatening.
Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following symptoms – you may need urgent medical treatment:
- Bleeding in the brain or within the skull is an uncommon side effect and may cause signs of stroke, such as:
- sudden numbness or weakness of arms, legs, or face, especially on one side of the body
- sudden confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding others
- sudden difficulty walking or loss of balance or coordination
- sudden dizziness or sudden and severe headache without known cause
- Signs of bleeding such as:
