1. What Zlatal is and what it is used for

Zlatal is a drug with the following properties:

  • it interferes with the growth of certain cells in the body that reproduce quickly (anti-tumour agent)
  • it reduces undesired reactions of the body’s own defence mechanism (immunosuppressant), and
  • it has anti-inflammatory effects.

Zlatal is indicated for the treatment of:

  • Active rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients,
  • Polyarthritic forms of severe, active juvenile idiopathic arthritis, when the response to nonsteroidal
    anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been inadequate,
  • Severe recalcitrant disabling psoriasis, which is not adequately responsive to other forms of therapy such as phototherapy, PUVA, and retinoids, and severe psoriatic affecting the joints (psoriac arthritis) in adult patients.
  • Mild to moderate Crohn’s disease in adult patients refractory or intolerant to thiopurines.

2. What you need to know before you use Zlatal

Important warning with reference to the dosing of methotrexate:

Methotrexate for the therapy of rheumatic diseases or diseases of the skin must only be used once weekly.

Faulty dosing of methotrexate may lead to serious adverse effects including fatal course. Please read section 3 of this PL very carefully.

Please ask your doctor or pharmacist before using Zlatal if you have any question.

Do not use Zlatal:
  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to methotrexate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you have significant kidney disease (your doctor decides the severity of the disease)
  • If you have significant liver disease (your doctor decides the severity of your disease)
  • If you have disorders of the blood-forming system
  • If your alcohol consumption is high
  • If you have an impaired immune system
  • If you have a severe or existing infection, e.g. tuberculosis and HIV
  • If you have gastrointestinal ulcers
  • If you are pregnant or breast-feeding (see section “Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility”)
  • If you receive vaccinations with live vaccines at the same time.

Warnings and precautions

Acute bleeding from the lungs in patients with underlying rheumatologic disease has been reported with methotrexate. If you experience symptoms of spitting or coughing up blood you should contact your doctor immediately.

If you, your partner or your caregiver notice new onset or worsening of neurological symptoms including general muscle weakness, disturbance of vision, changes in thinking, memory and orientation leading to confusion and personality changes contact your doctor immediately because these may be symptoms of a very rare, serious brain infection called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).

Methotrexate may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Avoid intense sun and do not use sun-beds or a sun-lamp without medical advice. To protect your skin from intense sun, wear adequate clothing or use a sunscreen with a high protection factor.

Talk to your doctor before using Zlatal:

  • If you have diabetes mellitus treated with insulin
  • If you have inactive, prolonged infections (e.g. tuberculosis, hepatitis B or C, shingles (herpes zoster))
  • If you have/had any liver or kidney disease
  • If you have problems with your lung function
  • If you are severely overweight
  • If you have abnormal accumulation of liquid in the abdomen or in the cavity between the lungs and chest wall (ascites, pleural effusions)
  • If you are dehydrated or suffer from conditions leading to dehydration (vomiting, diarrhoea, stomatitis).

The therapy is to be administered once a week.

Incorrect intake of methotrexate can lead to severe, including potentially lethal, side effects. Read section 3 of this package leaflet carefully.

If you have experienced problems with your skin after radiation therapy (radiation induced dermatitis) and sun-burn these conditions can reappear under methotrexate therapy (recall-reaction).

Use in children, adolescents and elderly

Dose instructions depend on patient’s body weight. Use in children < 3 years of age is not recommended due to the insufficient experience in this age group.

Children and the elderly under Zlatal treatment should be kept under particularly close, medical surveillance, in order to identify possible side effects as early as possible.

Elderly patients under treatment with methotrexate should be monitored closely by a physician so that possible side effects can be detected as early as possible.

Age-related impairment of liver and kidney function as well as low body reserves of the vitamin folic acid in old age require a relatively low dosage of methotrexate.

Special precautionary measures during treatment of Zlatal:

Zlatal should only be prescribed by doctors with sufficient experience in the Methotrexate treatment of the disease concerned.

Methotrexate temporarily affects sperm and egg production. Methotrexate can cause miscarriage and severe birth defects. You should avoid having a baby if you are being given methotrexate at the time and for at least 6 months after the end of your treatment with methotrexate if you are a woman. If you are a man you should avoid fathering a child if you are being given methotrexate at the time and for at least 3 months after the end of your treatment. See also section “Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility”.

Skin changes caused by psoriasis can worsen during treatment with Zlatal if exposure to UV irradiation occurs at the same time.

Recommended follow-up examinations and precautions

Even if methotrexate is used in low doses, serious side effects can occur. In order to detect them in time, your doctor must perform monitoring examinations and laboratory tests.

Prior to the start of therapy:

Before you start treatment, your blood will be checked to see if you have enough blood cells. Your blood will also be tested to check your liver function and to find out if you have hepatitis. Furthermore, serum albumin (a protein in the blood), hepatitis (liver infection) status and kidney function will be checked. The doctor may also decide to run other liver tests, some of these may be images of your liver and others may need a small sample of tissue taken from the liver in order to examine it more closely. Your doctor may also check to see if you have tuberculosis and they may X-ray your chest or perform a lung function test.

During the treatment:

Your doctor may perform the following examinations:

  • examination of the oral cavity and the pharynx for changes in the mucous membrane such as inflammation or ulceration
  • blood tests/ blood count with number of blood cells and measurement of serum methotrexate levels
  • blood test to monitor liver function
  • imaging tests to monitor liver condition
  • small sample of tissue taken from the liver in order to examine it more closely
  • blood test to monitor kidney function
  • respiratory tract monitoring and, if necessary, lung function test

It is very important that you appear for these scheduled examinations.

If the results of any of these tests are conspicuous, your doctor will adjust your treatment accordingly.

Other medicines and Zlatal

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 or natural medicinal products.

It is especially important to tell your doctor if you are using:

  • other treatments for rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis such as leflunomide, sulphasalazine (also used for ulcerative colitis), aspirin, phenylbutazone, or amidopyrine
  • alcohol (should be avoided)
  • live vaccinations
  • azathioprine (used to prevent rejection after an organ transplant)
  • retinoids (used to treat psoriasis and other skin disorders)
  • anticonvulsant drugs (prevent fits)
  • cancer treatments
  • barbiturates (sleeping injection)
  • tranquillisers
  • oral contraceptives
  • probenecid (against gout)
  • antibiotics
  • pyrimethamine (used to prevent and treat malaria)
  • vitamin preparations, which contain folic acid
  • proton-pump inhibitors (used to treat severe heartburn or ulcers)
  • theophylline (used to treat asthma)
  • metamizole (synonyms novaminsulfon and dipyrone) (medicine against severe pain and /or fever).

Zlatal with food, drink and alcohol

During treatment with Zlatal, you should not drink any alcohol and you should avoid excessive consumption of coffee, soft drinks containing caffeine and black tea.

Also make sure you drink plenty of liquids during treatment with Zlatal because dehydration (reduction in body water) can increase the toxicity of Zlatal.

Pregnancy, breast-feeding and fertility

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

Pregnancy

Do not use Zlatal during pregnancy or if you are trying to become pregnant. Methotrexate can cause birth defects, harm the unborn child or cause miscarriage. It is associated with malformations of the skull, face, heart and blood vessels, brain and limbs. Therefore, it is very important that Methotrexate is not given to pregnant patients or patients planning to become pregnant. In women of child-bearing age any possibility of pregnancy must be excluded with appropriate measures, e.g. a pregnancy test before starting treatment. You must avoid becoming pregnant whilst taking methotrexate and for at least 6 months after treatment is stopped by using reliable contraception throughout this time (see also section “Warnings and precautions”).

If you do become pregnant during treatment or suspect you might be pregnant, speak to your doctor as soon as possible. You should be offered advice regarding the risk of harmful effects on the child through treatment. If you wish to become pregnant you should consult your doctor, who may refer you for specialist advice before the planned start of treatment.

Breast-feeding

Do not breast-feed during treatment, because methotrexate passes into breast milk. If your attending doctor considers treatment with methotrexate absolutely necessary during the lactation period, you must stop breast- feeding.

Male fertility

The available evidence does not indicate an increased risk of malformations or miscarriage if the father takes methotrexate less than 30 mg/week. However, a risk cannot be completely excluded. Methotrexate may be genotoxic. This means that the medicine may cause genetic mutation. Methotrexate can affect sperm production with the potential to cause birth defects.

Therefore, you should avoid fathering a child or to donate semen whilst taking methotrexate and for at least 3 months after treatment is stopped.

Driving and using machines

Side effects affecting the central nervous system, such as tiredness and dizziness, may occur during treatment with Zlatal. In some cases, the ability to drive vehicles and/or use machines may therefore be impaired. If you feel tired or dizzy, you should not drive or use machines.

Zlatal contains sodium

This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, i.e. essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How to use Zlatal
Important warning about the dose of Zlatal (methotrexate)

Use Zlatal only once a week for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, active juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and Crohn’s disease requiring dosing once a week. Using too much of Zlatal (methotrexate) may be fatal. Please read section 3 of this leaflet very carefully. If you have any questions, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you take this medicine.

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Zlatal is administered once a week only. Together with your doctor you decide on a suitable weekday each week on which you receive your injection.

Incorrect intake of Zlatal can lead to severe, including potentially lethal, side effects.

The usual dose is:

Dose in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

The recommended starting dose for methotrexate is 7.5 mg once a week. Zlatal is given in a single application as injection under the skin (see section “Method and duration of administration”).

In case of inadequate action and if tolerated well, Zlatal doses may be increased. The mean weekly dose is 15-20 mg. Generally, a weekly dose of 25 mg Zlatal should not be exceeded. Upon achieving desired therapeutic results, the dose should – if possible – be gradually reduced to the lowest possible effective maintenance dose.

Dose in children and adolescents below 16 years with polyarthritic forms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis

The recommended dose is 10-15 mg/m2 body surface area per week. In cases with inadequate response, the weekly dose may be increased up to 20 mg/m2 body surface area/week. However, regular check-ups should be done more often. It should only be given by subcutaneous (under the skin) injection.

Use in children < 3 years of age is not recommended due to the insufficient experience in this age group.

Adults with severe forms of psoriasis vulgaris or psoriatic arthritis

It is recommended to administer a single test dose of 5-10 mg, in order to assess possibly damaging effects. This dose can be administered subcutaneously (under the skin).

If, one week later, no blood count changes are observed, therapy is continued with a dose of approximately 7.5 mg. The dose may be gradually increased (in steps of 5-7.5 mg per week and under blood count surveillance) until ideal therapeutic results are obtained. Generally, a weekly dose of 20 mg can be associated with significant increase in toxicity. A dose of 30 mg per week should not be exceeded. Upon achieving desired therapeutic results, the dose should be weekly reduced to the lowest possible effective maintenance dose for the individual patient.

Dose in adult patients with Crohn’s disease

The duration of the treatment is determined by the treating physician. The treatment of Crohn’s disease with Zlatal is a long-term treatment.

  • Induction treatment:
    25 mg/week administered subcutaneously. Response to treatment can be expected after approximately 8 to 12 weeks.
  • Maintenance treatment:
    15 mg/week administered subcutaneously. This product is not indicated in children with Crohn’s disease.

Patients with a kidney disorder

Patients with a kidney disorder may need a reduced dose.

Method and duration of administration

The duration of the treatment is determined by the treating physician. Zlatal is injected once weekly!

It is recommended to specify a certain day of the week as “day for injection”.

Zlatal is given as injection under the skin. Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis with Zlatal is a long-term treatment.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Generally, improvement of the symptoms can be expected after 4-8 weeks of treatment. Symptoms may return after Zlatal discontinuation.

Severe types of psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis (psoriasis arthropatica)

Response to treatment can generally be expected after 2-6 weeks. Depending on the clinical picture and the changes of laboratory parameters, the therapy is then continued or discontinued.

At the start of your treatment, Zlatal may be injected by medical staff. However, your doctor may decide that you can learn how to inject Zlatal yourself. You will receive appropriate training for you to do this. Under no circumstances should you attempt to inject yourself unless you have been trained to do so.

How to give yourself an injection of Zlatal

If you have trouble handling the syringe, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Do not try to inject yourself if you have not been trained how to do so. If you are not sure what to do, talk to your doctor or nurse immediately.

Before injecting yourself with Zlatal

  • Check the expiry date on the medicine. Do not use if the date has passed.
  • Check the syringe is not damaged and the medicine in it is a clear solution. If not, use another syringe.
  • Check your last injection site to see if the last injection caused any redness, change in skin colour, swelling, oozing or is still painful, if so talk to your doctor or nurse.
  • Decide where you are going to inject the medicine. Change the place where you inject each time.

Instructions on injecting yourself with Zlatal

1) Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
2) Sit or lie in a relaxed, comfortable position. Make sure you can see the skin area you are going to inject.
3) The syringe is pre-filled and ready to use. Open the blister pack by peeling back the top layer all the way off the blister pack as shown.

4) Precaution: DO NOT lift the product by the plunger or needle cover. Remove the syringe from the box by the body as shown in the picture below.

5) Visually inspect the syringe. You should see a yellow fluid through the viewing window. You may see a small air bubble, this does not affect the injection and will not harm you.
6) Choose an injection site and disinfect it with the enclosed alcohol swab. It requires 30-60 seconds to be effective. The skin on the front side abdominal wall and the skin at the front of the thigh are suitable as injection sites.
7) While holding the body of the syringe, pull the cap off.

Do not press on the plunger before injecting yourself to get rid of air bubbles. This can lead to a loss of the medicine. Once you have taken the cap off, keep the syringe in your hand. Do not allow the syringe to touch anything else. This is to make sure that the needle stays clean

8) Hold the syringe in the hand you write with (like a pencil) and with your other hand, make a fold in the skin by gently pinching the skin of the injection place with your forefinger and thumb. Make sure you hold the skin fold throughout the injection.
9) Move the syringe towards the skin fold (site of injection) with the needle shield pointing directly at the site of injection. Insert the full length of the needle into the skin fold.
10) Press down on the plunger with your finger until the syringe is empty. This will send the medication under the skin.

11) Remove the needle by pulling it out straight. The safety shield on the syringe will automatically cover the needle to prevent any needlestick injuries. You can now let go of the skin fold.

Note: the safety system allowing release of the safety shield, can only be activated when the syringe has been emptied by pressing the plunger all the way down. To avoid bruising, do not rub the injection site after you have injected yourself.

12) Discard the used syringe into the sharps bin provided. Close the container lid tightly and place the container out of reach of children. If you accidently get methotrexate on the surface of the skin or soft tissues you must rinse with plenty of water. When the container is full, give it to your doctor or home care nurse for disposal. Do not put it in the household rubbish.

If you use more Zlatal than you should

Follow the dose recommendations of your treating doctor. Do not change the dose of your own accord.

If you suspect that you (or someone else) have used too much Zlatal, please tell your doctor or contact the nearest hospital casualty department immediately. He/ she will decide on any necessary treatment measures, depending on the severity of intoxication.

An overdose of methotrexate can lead to severe toxic reactions. Overdose symptoms may include easy bruising or bleeding, unusual weakness, mouth sores, nausea, vomiting, black or bloody stools, coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds, and decreased urinating. See also section 4.

Take your medicine package with you if you go to a doctor or hospital. The antidote in case of an overdose is calcium folinate.

If you forget to use Zlatal

Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten individual doses, but continue taking the ordered dose. Ask your doctor for advice.

If you stop taking Zlatal

You should not interrupt or discontinue Zlatal treatment, unless you have discussed this with your doctor. If you suspect severe side effects, contact your doctor immediately for advice.

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Certain infections of the brain (Leukoencephalopathy), bleeding from the lungs, bone damage in the jaw (secondary to excessive growth of white blood cells), tissue destruction at injection site, swelling, redness and shedding of skin.

When methotrexate is given by the intramuscular route, local undesirable effects (burning sensation) or damage (formation of sterile abscess, destruction of fatty tissue) at the site of injection can occur commonly. Subcutaneous application of methotrexate is locally well tolerated. Only mild local skin reactions were observed, decreasing during therapy.

Methotrexate may cause a reduction in the number of white blood cells and your resistance to infection may be decreased. If you experience an infection with symptoms such as fever and serious deterioration of your general condition, or fever with local infection symptoms such as sore throat/sore pharynx/sore mouth or urinary problems, you should see your doctor immediately. A blood test will be taken to check for possible reduction of white blood cells (agranulocytosis). It is important to inform your doctor about your medicine.

Methotrexate may cause serious (sometimes life-threatening) side effects. Therefore, your doctor will do tests to check for abnormalities developing in the blood (e.g. low white blood cells, low platelets, lymphoma) and changes in the kidney and the liver.
