What Celectol is and what it is used for

What Celectol is

The name of your medicine is Celectol 200mg or 400mg Tablets (called Celectol throughout this leaflet). Celectol contains a medicine called celiprolol hydrochloride. This belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers.

How Celectol works

It works by slowing your heart rate or lowering your blood pressure.

What Celectol is used for

It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

Q What you need to know before you take Celectol

Do not take Celectol:

  • if you are allergic to celiprolol or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Signs of an allergic reaction include: a rash, swallowing or breathing problems, swelling of your lips, face, throat or tongue.

  • if you have or have had asthma or wheezing.

  • if you have a very slow heartbeat (bradycardia).

  • if you have heart problems – where you have difficulty breathing and swollen ankles.

  • if you have kidney problems.

  • if you have a tumour of the adrenal gland (phaeochromocytoma) and your blood pressure has not yet been treated with a type of medicine known as an alpha blocker, such as doxazosin or terazosin.

  • if you have low blood pressure (hypotension).

  • if you have abnormal levels of acid in your blood (metabolic acidosis).

  • if you have been diagnosed by your doctor with late stages of a peripheral arterial disease (such as Raynaud’s disease). Symptoms include persistent cramping pain in legs even at rest, and development of non-healing ulcers over fingers and/or toes.

Do not take this medicine if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Celectol.

Warnings and precautions

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Celectol:

  • if you have any heart problems.

  • if you have breathing problems due to long term lung problems (called bronchitis or emphysema).

  • if you have diabetes.

  • if you have liver problems.

  • if you have a tumour of the adrenal gland (phaeochromocytoma) and your blood pressure is not yet controlled by a type of medicine known as an alpha blocker, such as doxazosin or terazosin.

  • if you have an overactive thyroid gland, as celiprolol can hide some of the symptoms associated with this condition.

  • if you have a history of severe allergies, including anaphylactic reactions.

  • if you have ever suffered from psoriasis.

  • if you suffer from a type of chest pain called Prinzmetal’s an­gina.

  • if you suffer from poor circulation (such as Raynaud’s disease). Symptoms include fingers and/ or toes changing colour when cold and tingling or painful on warming up. Your doctor may closely monitor you while taking this medicine.

If you are not sure if any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Celectol.

Operations or anaesthetics

Tell your doctor or dentist you are taking Celectol if you are going to have an anaesthetic or an operation (including dental surgery).

Other medicines and Celectol

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription and herbal medicines. This is because Celectol can affect the way some other medicines work. Also, some other medicines can affect the way Celectol works.

In particular tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following: Insulin or tablets to treat diabetes.

  • Medicines, including some cough and cold medicines, containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or adrenaline.

  • Medicines to treat depression called MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors) or have taken them in the last 2 weeks. MAOIs are medicines such as meclobemide, phenelzine or tranylcypromine.

  • Medicines used for mental problems (antipsychotic medicines) – such as chlorpromazine or other phenothiazines.

  • Medicines used for asthma (such as theophylline).

  • Medicines for chest pain (angina) – such as verapamil, nifedipine and diltiazem.

  • Medicines used for heart problems – such as lidocaine (also used as a local anaesthetic) amiodarone, digitalis, diltiazem, disopyramide, nifedipine, quinidine and verapamil (also used for severe allergies).

  • Diltiazem as it may lead to increased risk of depression.

  • Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) – used to relieve pain such as ibuprofen and indometacin.

  • Medicines used to lower blood pressure – such as chlorthalidone, hydrochlorothiazide and clonidine.

  • Medicines used for the prevention of malaria such as mefloquine.

  • Some antibiotics or antifungal medicines e.g. rifampicin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, ketoconazole, itraconazole.

  • Medicines used to alter the way your immune system works e.g. fingolimod, ciclosporin.

  • Medicines obtained without a prescription e.g. St John’s Wort.

If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Celectol.

Celectol with food and drink

  • Celectol should be taken preferably first thing in the morning, 30 minutes before food or two hours after a meal.

  • * Citrus fruit juices should be avoided when taking this medicine as they can decrease the absorption of celiprolol.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.

If your doctor cannot find a safer alternative you may be given Celectol. If you take Celectol during pregnancy, particularly in the last 3 months, you should tell your midwife. This is because your baby may be affected when it is born. Any effects usually begin on the first day after birth and can include lower than normal levels of glucose in the blood (hypoglycaemia), slow heartbeat, heart failure or having trouble breathing. If your baby has any of these side effects when it is born and you are worried, tell your doctor or midwife.

You should not breast-feed if you are taking Celectol. This is because small amounts may pass into the mother’s milk. If you are breast-feeding or planning to breast-feed, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

You may feel tired or dizzy whilst taking Celectol. If this happens, do not drive or use any tools or machines.

Drug tests in sport

Celectol may give a positive result if you have a blood or urine test to check for the presence of drugs.

Information about one of the ingredients of this medicine

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per film-coated tablet, that is to say essentially ‘sodium-free’.
