CAPRIN 75mg may be used to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction in patients with unstable angina or ischaemic stroke and in patients with a previous history of myocardial infarction. The enteric coating makes Caprin unsuitable for short term pain relief.
One tablet daily.
In cases where a rapid onset of action is required e.g. immediately following acute myocardial infarction, then three tablets should be given for the first two days of treatment.
Do not give to children and adolescents under 16 years, except on medical advice, where the benefit outweighs the risk.
CAPRIN 75mg tablets must not be chewed or crushed.
The tablets are best taken before meals.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms (see section 4.4).
Dizziness, tinnitus, deafness, vasodilation and sweating, nausea and vomiting, headache and mental confusion. If more severe hyperventilation, fever, restlessness, ketosis, respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis. Coma, if severe, with cardiovascular collapse and respiratory failure. Hypoglycaemia may be severe in children.
Overdosage should be treated initially by gastric lavage and forced alkaline diuresis. Haemodialysis may sometimes be necessary. The patient should be observed for at least 72 hours to allow for possible delayed release from the enteric coated system. Restoration of acid-base balance may be necessary.
