Stop using Buscofen and contact your doctor immediately if you notice any of the symptoms related to these serious skin reactions described in section 4.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Buscofen:\u003cbr\u003e • if you have had episodes of difficulty breathing (bronchospasm) after using acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) or other anti-inflammatory drugs; \u003cbr\u003e• if you suffer from asthma, runny nose (chronic rhinitis), presence of polyps in the nose (nasal polyposis) or inflammation of the mucosa of the paranasal sinuses (sinusitis) or suffer\/have suffered from allergies because you may experience difficulty breathing (bronchospasm), redness of the skin with itching (urticaria) or swelling of the skin and throat (angioedema), especially if you have already had allergic reactions after using other medicines used to treat joint or muscle pain, fever or to treat inflammation (NSAIDs);\u003cbr\u003e • if you are taking other anti-inflammatory medicines, including selective COX-2 inhibitors (an enzyme involved in inflammatory processes), as in these cases the risk of ulcers and bleeding may increase (see section \"Other medicines and Buscofen\"); \u003cbr\u003e• if you are elderly or have suffered from ulcers, especially if the ulcer has also manifested itself with bleeding or perforation (see section \"Do not take Buscofen\"), since the risk of bleeding, ulcer or perforation is higher, especially with higher doses of anti-inflammatory drugs. In these cases you should start treatment with the lowest available dose, and possibly contact your doctor to prescribe a medicine that protects the stomach (misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors). This possibility must also be taken into account if you take low doses of acetylsalicylic acid or drugs that can increase the risk of stomach and\/or intestinal diseases (see section \"Other medicines and Buscofen\"); \u003cbr\u003e• if you have suffered from stomach or intestinal diseases related to the use of drugs, and in particular if you are elderly, you should report to your doctor any unusual symptoms of your stomach and intestines (especially bleeding), particularly in the initial stages of treatment;\u003cbr\u003e • if you are taking other medicines that increase the risk of ulcers or bleeding in the stomach and\/or intestines, such as oral corticosteroids (e.g. cortisone), anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin), antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), or blood aggregation inhibitors (e.g. acetylsalicylic acid). See also the section \"Other medicines and Buscofen\". If gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration occurs in patients taking Buscofen, the treatment should be discontinued; \u003cbr\u003e• if you have suffered or suffer from chronic intestinal diseases such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, as they may worsen (see section 4 \"Possible side effects\");\u003cbr\u003e • if you suffer from high blood pressure and\/or heart disease, as fluid retention, increased blood pressure and swelling have been reported in association with NSAID treatment. NSAIDs may reduce the action of medicines taken to lower blood pressure (see section \"Other medicines and Buscofen\"). Your doctor will prescribe Buscofen only after carefully assessing your condition;\u003cbr\u003e • if you have high blood pressure and the medicines you are taking do not lower it and\/or you have heart or blood circulation problems in the brain or other areas of the body or you think you may be at risk of these diseases (for example if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol or if you smoke); \u003cbr\u003e• if you have lost a significant amount of fluid or develop swelling, heart problems or high blood pressure;\u003cbr\u003e • if you have impaired kidney function, heart or liver function problems, or if you are elderly or are taking medicines for high blood pressure as you may be more susceptible to kidney problems. Furthermore, the habitual concomitant use of several painkillers may further increase this risk;\u003cbr\u003e • if you suffer from a bleeding disorder or are taking medicines that slow down blood clotting (anticoagulants) (see section \"Other medicines and Buscofen\"); \u003cbr\u003e• if you suffer from an autoimmune disease that can affect several organs and tissues of the body (systemic lupus erythematosus), or a connective tissue disease, which is present in many parts of the body, such as bones and cartilage, as on rare occasions symptoms of \"aseptic meningitis\" have been observed in patients treated with ibuprofen. Although this is more likely to occur in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and related connective tissue diseases, it has also been observed in patients without any concomitant chronic diseases;\u003cbr\u003e • if you are taking medicines to treat pain, heart disease or high blood pressure (see section \"Other medicines and Buscofen\");\u003cbr\u003e • if you intend to start a pregnancy (see section \"Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility\");\u003cbr\u003e • if you have problems getting pregnant or are undergoing fertility tests (see section \"Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility\"); \u003cbr\u003e• if you have an infection – see section “Infections” below;\u003cbr\u003e • if you develop a skin rash or skin symptoms, you should stop taking ibuprofen immediately, seek medical advice immediately and tell your doctor that you are taking this medicine;\u003cbr\u003e • if you develop symptoms or signs of Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) which include rash, fever, swollen lymph nodes and an increase in a type of white blood cell (eosinophilia).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Anti-inflammatory\/pain-relieving medicines such as ibuprofen may be associated with a small increased risk of heart attack (\"myocardial infarction\") or stroke (loss of blood flow to the brain), especially when taken in high doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration of treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You should discuss your treatment with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Buscofen if you have: \u003cbr\u003e• heart problems including heart attack, angina (chest pain) or if you have had a heart attack, coronary artery bypass surgery, peripheral artery disease (poor circulation in the legs or feet due to narrowing or blockage of the arteries) or any type of stroke (including 'mini stroke' or 'TIA', transient ischaemic attack);\u003cbr\u003e • high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, a family history of heart disease or stroke, or if you are a smoker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Medicines like Buscofen can:\u003cbr\u003e • be associated with the onset of even serious kidney disease (such as renal papillary necrosis, analgesic nephropathy and renal failure), therefore the doctor will monitor the functionality of your kidneys;\u003cbr\u003e • cause eye disorders, therefore it is recommended in case of prolonged treatments, to carry out periodic eye checks. If vision disorders occur, stop treatment with Buscofen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003eInfections\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBuscofen may hide the symptoms of infections such as fever and pain. It is therefore possible that Buscofen may delay adequate treatment of the infection, which could increase the risk of complications. This has been observed in pneumonia caused by bacteria and bacterial skin infections related to chickenpox. If you take this medicine while you have an infection and the symptoms of the infection persist or get worse, contact your doctor immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eTeenagers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Dehydrated adolescents are at risk of kidney disease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePossible side effects\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
