Forkortet produktinformation
Veltassa 8,4 g og 16,8 g pulver til oral suspension patiromer (som patiromersorbitexcalcium)
Dette lægemiddel er underlagt supplerende overvågning.
Indikationer: Behandling af hyperkaliæmi hos voksne. Dosering og administration: Den anbefalede startdosis er 8,4 g patiromer én gang dagligt. Den daglige dosis kan justeres i intervaller på en uge eller længere baseret på niveauet af serum kalium og det ønskede målinterval. For at opnå det ønskede målinterval kan den daglige dosis efter behov øges eller reduceres med 8,4 g, dog højst til en maksimumdosis på 25,2 g dagligt. Hvis serum kalium niveauet falder under det ønskede målinterval, bør dosen reduceres, eller behandlingen ophøre. Hvis en dosis glemmes, skal den glemte dosis tages så hurtigt som muligt samme dag. Den glemte dosis bør ikke tages sammen med den næste dosis. Administration af Veltassa skal ske med 3 timers interval fra indtagelse af andre orale lægemidler. Virkningen af Veltassa indtræder inden for 4–7 timer efter administration. Veltassa bør ikke erstatte nødbehandling af livstruende hyperkaliæmi. Oral brug. Æblejuice eller tranebærjuice kan anvendes i stedet for vand til at klargøre blandingen. Andre væsker bør undgås, da de kan indeholde store mængder kalium. Indtag af tranebærjuice bør generelt begrænses til moderate mængder (for eksempel mindre end 400 ml om dagen) på grund af den potentielle interaktion med andre lægemidler. Veltassa kan tages sammen med eller uden mad. Det må ikke opvarmes eller tilsættes opvarmede madvarer eller væsker. Det må ikke tages i dets tørre form. Kontraindikationer: Overfølsomhed over for det aktive stof eller over for et eller flere af hjælpestofferne. Advarsler og forsigtighedsregler: Serum magnesium bør overvåges i mindst 1 måned efter påbegyndelse af behandlingen, og magnesiumtilskud bør overvejes til patienter, der udvikler lave niveauer af serum magnesium. Fordele og risici ved at administrere Veltassa bør evalueres omhyggeligt før og under behandling af patienter, som har eller tidligere har haft alvorlige gastrointestinale lidelser. Ved ophør af behandling med Veltassa kan serum kalium niveauerne stige, især hvis behandling med RAAS-inhibitor fortsættes. Patienter skal instrueres i ikke at ophøre med behandlingen uden at konsultere deres læge. Stigninger i serum kalium kan opstå så tidligt som 2 dage efter den sidste Veltassa-dosis.
Serum kalium bør overvåges ved klinisk indikation, også efter der foretages medicinændringer, der påvirker serum kalium koncentrationen (f.eks. RAAS-inhibitorer eller diuretika), og efter Veltassa-dosis er titreret. Veltassa indeholder sorbitol. Bør ikke anvendes til patienter med hereditær fructoseintolerans. Veltassa indeholder calcium. Fordelene og risiciene ved administration af dette lægemiddel bør evalueres omhyggeligt hos patienter med risiko for hyperkalcæmi. Interaktion: Patiromer har potentialet til at binde visse co-administrerede lægemidler, hvilket kan reducere deres absorption i mave-tarm-kanalen. Da patiromer ikke absorberes eller metaboliseres i kroppen, har det en begrænset indvirkning på virkningen af andre lægemidler. Som en sikkerhedsforanstaltning bør administration af patiromer ske mindst 3 timer før eller efter andre orale lægemidler. Graviditet og amning: Som en sikkerhedsforanstaltning foretrækkes det at undgå brug af Veltassa under graviditet. Det skal besluttes, om amning skal ophøre eller behandling med patiromer seponeres, idet der tages højde for fordelene ved amning for barnet i forhold til de terapeutiske fordele for moderen. Bivirkninger: Almindelig (≥1/100 til <1/10): Hypomagnesæmi, forstoppelse, diarré, mavesmerter, luft i maven. Ikke almindelig (≥1/1.000 til <1/100): Kvalme, opkastning. Overdosering: Da overdrevne doser af Veltassa kan resultere i hypokaliæmi, bør niveauerne af serum kalium overvåges. Patiromer udskilles efter ca. 24 til 48 timer, baseret på den gennemsnitlige gastrointestinale transittid. Såfremt det besluttes, at lægelig behandling er nødvendig, kan relevante foranstaltninger til gendannelse af serum kalium overvejes. Pakningsstørelser og priser: Æske med 30 breve à 8,4 g.
