Lixim plaster 70 mg bag 7 pcs
LIXIM PATCH is a medicated patch containing the active ingredient etofenamate, a substance from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties. Etofenamate penetrates the skin and reaches the diseased tissue areas. LIXIM PATCH is used for the short-term symptomatic treatment of acute, uncomplicated ankle injuries in adults. Swissmedic-approved patient informationLixim® PatchDrossapharm AGWhat is LIXIM PATCH and when is it used?LIXIM PATCH is a medicated patch containing the active ingredient etofenamate, a substance from the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory and decongestant properties. Etofenamate penetrates the skin and reaches the diseased tissue areas. LIXIM PATCH is used for the short-term symptomatic treatment of acute, uncomplicated ankle injuries in adults. When is LIXIM PATCH not to be used?LIXIM PATCH is not to be used: •if you are hypersensitive to other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); •for broken skin of varying degrees: weeping rash, eczema, infected lesion, burn or open wound; •in the last trimester of pregnancy; •during lactation; •in infants and young children; •If you are allergic to the active substance or an auxiliary substance according to the composition (see «What does LIXIM PATCH contain?»). When is caution required when using LIXIM PATCH?It is recommended to choose the shortest possible duration of use in order to minimize the occurrence of undesirable effects. Stop treatment immediately if a rash occurs after applying the patch. Only apply the patch to intact, healthy skin. The patch must not be placed on broken skin or open injuries. The patch should not come into contact with mucous membranes or eyes. Bronchospasm or rhinitis may occur in patients with asthma, allergic rhinitis, or nasal polyps. Allergic reactions are possible in patients with chronic nettle fever (urticaria). The absorption of etofenamate into the body when applied externally in the form of a patch is very low, which is why the risk of a clinically relevant drug interaction is negligible. Because the plaster still contains a relevant amount of the active substance after use, care must be taken to ensure that it is disposed of properly (see also the information under «What else needs to be taken into account»). Small children and pets should under no circumstances come into contact with the used patches. However, a relevant overdose by sucking or chewing used patches is unlikely. Due to the route of administration and the low systemic availability of the active ingredient, LIXIM PATCH is not expected to affect the ability to drive or use machines.
