1. What LISOMUCIL GOLA is and what it is used for

LISOMUCIL GOLA contains flurbiprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) medicine that acts against inflammation and pain in the throat, mouth and gums.
LISOMUCIL GOLA is used in adults and in adolescents over 12 years of age for the treatment of symptoms of pain and irritation of the gums, mouth and throat (e.g. gingivitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis), including cases following conservative or extraction dental procedures (e.g. dental caries treatment or tooth extraction).
Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 3 days of treatment (see section 3).

2. What you should know before using LISOMUCIL GOLA

Do not use LISOMUCIL GOLA

  • if you are allergic to flurbiprofen or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if you are allergic to acetylsalicylic acid (a medicine used for inflammation, pain, fever and heart disorders) or to other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (see section “Other medicines and LISOMUCIL GOLA”);
  • if you have previously suffered from gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation related to previous treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs);
  • if you suffer from chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease);
  • if you frequently suffer from peptic ulcer (stomach lesion) or gastrointestinal bleeding (two or more separate episodes of ulcer or bleeding);
  • if you suffer from severe heart failure (reduced heart function), severe liver failure (reduced liver function), or severe kidney failure (reduced kidney function).

Do not use LISOMUCIL GOLA during the last 3 months of pregnancy (see section “Pregnancy and
breast-feeding”).
Do not give LISOMUCIL GOLA to children under 12 years of age.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using LISOMUCIL GOLA.
In particular, inform your doctor if:

  • you have previously suffered from bronchial asthma (a respiratory disease), as this increases the risk that you may experience bronchospasm (narrowing of the bronchi causing severe breathing difficulties due to reduced airflow);
  • you have previously suffered from allergies;
  • you are taking other Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs);
  • you suffer from systemic lupus erythematosus or mixed connective tissue disease;
  • you suffer from reduced kidney, heart or liver function (renal, cardiac or hepatic insufficiency);
  • you suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure);
  • you have been taking other analgesics for a long time or without following the recommended dosage, as this may lead to headache;
  • you have previously suffered from peptic ulcer (stomach lesion) or other stomach or intestinal diseases, as this increases the risk that these conditions may recur. This risk increases especially with high doses of flurbiprofen, if you are elderly, or if the peptic ulcer was complicated by gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation (see section 4 “Possible side effects”);
  • you are elderly (as you are more likely to experience side effects);
  • you have heart or blood vessel problems, as medicines such as LISOMUCIL GOLA may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack (myocardial infarction) or stroke. The risk of side effects increases with higher doses and prolonged treatment; do not exceed the recommended dose of LISOMUCIL GOLA and do not use it for long periods. Inform your doctor if you have heart problems, a history of stroke, or think you may be at risk for these conditions (for example, if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, or smoke).

Inform your doctor of any unusual abdominal symptoms.
The use of this medicine, especially if prolonged, may cause allergic reactions or local irritation (see section 4 “Possible side effects”); in such cases, stop treatment and consult your doctor, who will initiate appropriate therapy if necessary.
If you experience mouth irritation, stop treatment.
Children and adolescents
Do not give LISOMUCIL GOLA to children under 12 years of age.
Other medicines and LISOMUCIL GOLA
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicine.
Inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • medicines containing acetylsalicylic acid (a medicine used for inflammation, pain, fever and heart disorders), as they may increase side effects;
  • antiplatelet agents (medicines that make the blood thinner, such as low-dose daily acetylsalicylic acid), as they increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding;
  • anticoagulants (medicines that slow down or inhibit blood clotting, such as warfarin), as their effect may be enhanced by NSAIDs;
  • selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (medicines used for depression), as they increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding;
  • antihypertensive medicines (ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II antagonists and diuretics), as NSAIDs may reduce the effect of diuretics or some antihypertensive medicines may increase renal toxicity;
  • alcohol, as it may increase the risk of side effects, especially the risk of stomach and intestinal bleeding;
  • cardiac glycosides (medicines that affect heart function), as NSAIDs may worsen heart failure and increase blood levels of cardiac glycosides;
  • cyclosporine (a medicine used to prevent organ transplant rejection), as it increases the risk of renal toxicity;
  • corticosteroids (medicines used for inflammation/allergies), as they increase the risk of stomach or intestinal lesions or bleeding;
  • lithium (a medicine used for behavioral disorders), as blood levels of lithium may increase;
  • methotrexate (a medicine used for psoriasis, arthritis and cancer), as blood levels of methotrexate may increase;
  • mifepristone (a medicine used to terminate pregnancy): NSAIDs should not be used for 8–12 days after taking mifepristone, as they reduce its effectiveness;
  • quinolone antibiotics (medicines used for bacterial infections), as NSAIDs may increase the risk of seizures;
  • tacrolimus (an immunosuppressant used after organ transplantation), as NSAIDs may increase the risk of renal toxicity;
  • zidovudine (a medicine used for AIDS), as NSAIDs increase the risk of blood toxicity;
  • Cox-2 inhibitors and other NSAIDs (medicines used for inflammation and pain), as their effects and the risk of side effects may be increased.

3. How to use LISOMUCIL GOLA

Use this medicine exactly as stated in this leaflet or as instructed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Undesirable effects can be minimized by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms.
Warning: Do not exceed the recommended doses without medical advice.
Adults and adolescents over 12 years of age
The recommended dose is 2–3 mouth rinses or gargles per day (hold in the mouth for up to 1 minute).

At the recommended doses, accidental ingestion is unlikely to cause harm, although ingestion of the product should be avoided.
If you are elderly or have previously suffered from stomach ulcer
If you are elderly or have previously suffered from peptic ulcer (stomach lesion), it is advisable to use the lowest recommended dose, as there is an increased risk of serious consequences in case of adverse effects, and a higher risk of developing stomach or intestinal ulcers, bleeding, or perforation (see section 4 “Possible side effects”).
Use in children and adolescents
Do not give LISOMUCIL GOLA to children under 12 years of age.
Duration of treatment
Use LISOMUCIL GOLA only for short-term treatment, not exceeding 7 days. If no noticeable improvement occurs after 3 days of treatment, the cause may be a different pathological condition; in this case, consult your doctor.
Consult your doctor if the condition recurs frequently or if you have noticed any recent changes in its characteristics.
If you use more LISOMUCIL GOLA than you should
If you accidentally ingest/absorb an excessive dose of LISOMUCIL GOLA, contact your doctor immediately or go to the nearest hospital.
In case of accidental ingestion/absorption of large amounts of flurbiprofen, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, irritation of the stomach or intestine, stomach pain, or rarely diarrhea may occur. Tinnitus, headache, and gastrointestinal bleeding may also occur. In such cases, the doctor will initiate appropriate treatment.
