1. What DEFLAMON is and what it is used for

DEFLAMON contains the active substance metronidazole, which belongs to a group of medicines called antibiotics, used against infections caused by microorganisms.
This medicine is indicated for the treatment of severe infections (septicaemia, bacteraemia) in adults and children caused by the following bacteria: Bacteroides fragilis, Fusobacteria, Eubacteria, Clostridia, and anaerobic Gram-positive cocci.
DEFLAMON is particularly indicated for:

  • the treatment of infections causing accumulation of infected material (brain and pelvic abscesses), severe lung infections (necrotizing pneumonia), bone and joint infections (osteomyelitis), uterine infections (puerperal fever), peritoneal infections (peritonitis), and infections causing wound complications following surgical procedures;
  • the prevention of infections caused by bacteria (Bacteroides and anaerobic Gram-positive cocci) that may occur following surgical procedures.

2. What you should know before using DEFLAMON

Do not use DEFLAMON

  • if you are allergic to metronidazole or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if you suffer from any blood or bone marrow disorder (haematological disorders);
  • if you have any active neurological disease (active central nervous system disorders);
  • if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (see section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”).

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or nurse before you are given DEFLAMON.
DEFLAMON will always be administered under strict medical supervision.
DEFLAMON will be administered with great caution and at reduced doses if:

  • you have severe kidney problems (severe impairment of renal function);
  • you have severe liver problems (severe hepatic disease);
  • you suffer from severe active or chronic diseases of the peripheral and central nervous system. Metronidazole should be used only if the expected benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks.

If you are to be given DEFLAMON for longer than 10 days:

  • your doctor will assess the risk of developing peripheral nervous system problems (peripheral neuropathy);
  • regular monitoring of your clinical condition will be performed.

Cases of liver toxicity (hepatotoxicity severe/acute liver failure), including cases resulting in death, have been reported with metronidazole-containing medicines in patients affected by Cockayne syndrome.
If you have Cockayne syndrome, your doctor will frequently monitor your liver function both during and after treatment with metronidazole.
Immediately inform your doctor and stop taking metronidazole if you experience:

  • stomach pain, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fever, malaise, fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, pale and greish-green stools, or itching;
  • seizures, or numbness or altered sensation in a limb (paraesthesia);
  • severe blistering skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, or acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis).

During treatment, your urine may become reddish-brown in colour due to the presence of soluble drug pigments.
Prolonged therapy with metronidazole may be associated with bone marrow suppression, resulting in impaired production of blood cells (haematopoiesis). Therefore, blood cell counts should be closely monitored during prolonged treatment.

Children and newborns
This medicine may be administered with caution in children.

Other medicines and DEFLAMON
Inform your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicine.
In particular, inform your doctor if you are taking:

  • Disulfiram (a medicine used to treat chronic alcohol dependence) within the previous two weeks: DEFLAMON may cause psychotic reactions (e.g. confusion, behavioural changes, hallucinations).
  • Warfarin, acenocoumarol, dicoumarol, phenprocoumon (oral anticoagulants): DEFLAMON may increase bleeding time; therefore, your doctor may ask you to have frequent prothrombin time (INR) tests and may adjust your anticoagulant dose accordingly.
  • Lithium: DEFLAMON may increase serum lithium levels (lithaemia); therefore, lithium therapy should be discontinued during DEFLAMON treatment. If concomitant use of lithium and DEFLAMON is necessary, regular monitoring of blood levels of lithium, creatinine, and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) is essential.
  • Phenytoin, phenobarbital (antiepileptic medicines): by increasing liver activity, they may accelerate the elimination of DEFLAMON, thereby reducing its blood concentration.
  • Cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant medicine): DEFLAMON may reduce the liver’s ability to eliminate cyclosporine, leading to its accumulation in the blood and risk of toxicity.
  • Cimetidine (a medicine used for ulcers, reflux esophagitis, or gastritis): may slow down the elimination of DEFLAMON from the blood, increasing its concentration.
  • Tacrolimus (a medicine used to prevent organ transplant rejection): concomitant use with DEFLAMON may increase the risk of cardiac disorders (QT interval prolongation and arrhythmias). DEFLAMON may also reduce the liver’s elimination of tacrolimus, leading to its accumulation in the blood and risk of toxicity.
  • Medicines causing cardiac disorders (QT interval prolongation): concomitant use with DEFLAMON may increase the risk of such disorders.
  • Cholestyramine (a medicine used to lower blood cholesterol): may reduce the effectiveness of DEFLAMON.
  • Carbamazepine (a medicine used for epilepsy and trigeminal neuralgia): DEFLAMON may slow down the elimination of carbamazepine, leading to its accumulation in the blood and risk of central nervous system toxicity.
  • Amprenavir (a medicine used to treat HIV): DEFLAMON must not be administered together with oral amprenavir solution due to the potential risk of toxicity from an excipient in amprenavir (propylene glycol).
  • Mycophenolate mofetil (a medicine used to prevent acute organ transplant rejection): if DEFLAMON is administered concomitantly with norfloxacin (an antibiotic) and mycophenolate mofetil, exposure to the latter may be reduced. No interactions have been observed if DEFLAMON or norfloxacin are administered together with mycophenolate mofetil but separately from each other.
  • Herbal preparations containing silibinin (e.g. milk thistle): may reduce the blood concentration of DEFLAMON, thereby reducing its efficacy.
  • Ergotamine and dihydroergotamine (medicines used to treat migraine): DEFLAMON may increase blood levels of these medicines, increasing the risk of toxicity.
  • Busulfan (a medicine used in conditioning treatment prior to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation): DEFLAMON may increase busulfan blood levels, increasing the risk of toxicity.
  • 5-fluorouracil (an anticancer medicine): DEFLAMON may increase blood levels of this medicine, increasing the risk of toxicity.

DEFLAMON and alcohol
Do not drink alcohol while being treated with DEFLAMON, as you may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, are planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, consult your doctor or nurse before this medicine is administered.
DEFLAMON must not be administered if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines
Due to its neurological effects, metronidazole may impair your ability to drive or operate machinery.

DEFLAMON contains sodium
This medicine contains 311 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt) per vial. This corresponds to 15.5% of the maximum daily dietary intake recommended for an adult.

3. How to use DEFLAMON

This medicine will be administered to you only under the strict supervision of qualified healthcare personnel (physician or nurse). If you have any doubts, consult your physician or nurse.
This medicine must be administered only by slow intravenous infusion (5 ml/min). This route of administration is particularly useful in emergency situations and is indicated in surgical patients when:

  • anaerobic infection is present or suspected in the preoperative phase, e.g. septicemia, peritonitis, subphrenic or pelvic abscess;
  • signs of septic state caused by anaerobic organisms appear during surgery;
  • there is a risk of contamination by anaerobes originating from the gastrointestinal tract, female genital tract, or oropharynx during surgery.

If necessary, the medicine may be diluted with the following solutions: physiological saline, isotonic dextrose solution, 5% dextrose solution, or potassium chloride (20 mmol/L and 40 mmol/L).
Avoid adding other medicines, apart from metronidazole, to the infusion solution.
Use in adults and children over 12 years of age
The recommended dose is 100 ml for intravenous infusion (at a rate of 5 ml/min) every 8 hours. In most patients, 7 days of therapy are sufficient, but in some cases (inaccessible areas for drainage, new contamination, etc.) a longer treatment duration may be required.
The recommended dose for prevention of infections is 100 ml by intravenous infusion immediately before, during, or after surgery, followed by the same dose every 8 hours.
Use in children under 12 years of age and in neonates
The recommended dose is:

  • children aged between 8 weeks and 12 years: 20–30 mg/kg/day as a single dose or divided into doses of 7.5 mg/kg every 8 hours. The daily dose may be increased to 40 mg/kg depending on the severity of the infection. Treatment duration is usually 7 days.
  • children under 8 weeks of age: 15 mg/kg/day as a single dose or divided into doses of 7.5 mg/kg every 12 hours. In premature neonates: the physician must administer the medicine with caution and monitor blood levels of the drug.

The recommended dose for prevention of infections is:

  • children under 12 years: 20–30 mg/kg as a single dose given 1–2 hours before surgery;
  • premature neonates: 10 mg/kg body weight as a single dose before surgery.

Each vial is for single use only; any unused portion must not be retained.
If you use more DEFLAMON than you should
This medicine will be administered by specialized personnel, so it is unlikely that you will receive an excessive dose. However, if an overdose is administered, consult your physician who will advise appropriate therapy for your symptoms.
