Dosage:

Your doctor will determine the safe and effective dosage based on your individual needs.

Usage:

Cambia is a medication used to quickly relieve migraine pain in adults (source: product labeling information). When a migraine attack starts, you mix the Cambia powder with water and drink it. It's designed to stop the pain and other migraine symptoms you're already experiencing, not to prevent future migraines. Cambia belongs to a group of medicines called NSAIDs, which work by reducing substances in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It's important to know that Cambia isn't for other types of headaches and should only be taken as directed by your doctor. Also, like other NSAIDs, it carries risks related to heart and stomach issues, so discuss these with your healthcare provider.

Mechanism of Action:
Cambia, containing diclofenac potassium, exerts its therapeutic effect in the acute treatment of migraine attacks by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, both COX-1 and COX-2. This inhibition reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, key mediators of pain and inflammation, which are implicated in the vascular and neuroinflammatory processes underlying migraine pathophysiology. By decreasing prostaglandin levels, diclofenac potassium effectively attenuates migraine-associated pain and associated symptoms. The potassium salt formulation facilitates rapid dissolution and absorption, which is crucial for acute migraine relief, enabling prompt onset of action.

Take Cambia exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the product monograph in Canada. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

• Other NSAIDs (including aspirin): Taking cambia with other NSAIDS increases the risk of serious side effects, particularly gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcers.
• Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): Cambia can increase the risk of bleeding when taken with blood thinners.
• Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs): Combining Cambia with these antidepressants can also increase the risk of bleeding.
• Blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs, beta-blockers): NSAIDs like Cambia can reduce the effectiveness of blood pressure medications. Also, combining NSAIDs with ACE inhibitors or ARBs can increase the risk of kidney problems, especially in older adults or those with kidney disease.
• Diuretics (water pills): Cambia can reduce the effectiveness of diuretics and increase the risk of kidney problems.
• Lithium: Cambia can increase lithium levels in the blood, potentially leading to toxicity.
• Methotrexate: Cambia can increase methotrexate levels, increasing the risk of side effects.
• Cyclosporine: Cambia can increase the nephrotoxicity of cyclosporine.

Pregnant and or Breastfeeding:

Cambia is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. For pregnant individuals, especially in the third trimester, Cambia and other NSAIDs can pose significant risks to the developing baby, including heart and kidney problems. If you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it's crucial to talk to your doctor about safer pain relief options. Similarly, because Cambia might pass into breast milk and could harm a nursing infant, it's best to avoid it while breastfeeding. Your doctor can help you find alternative ways to manage migraine pain that are safe for both you and your baby.
