Take CAMBIA at the first sign of a migraine attack.1

Ask your doctor to Take a Shot with CAMBIA

The Rip It and Sip It approach to acute migraine

CAMBIA is not a pill—it’s a powder.

It contains an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), a well-established type of medicine that has been used for many years to treat migraine.1,3

Combining this medicine with water activates it in a unique way.

Do not mix with liquids other than water.

CAMBIA provides rapid relief

At 2 Hours2

25.1% of Patients

Free of Pain

vs 10.1% with placebo2

40.5% of Patients

Free of Light Sensitivity

vs 27.4% with placebo2

64.7% of Patients

Free of Nausea

vs 52.7% with placebo2

44.3% of Patients

Free of Sound Sensitivity

vs 27.4% with placebo2

In a study of 690 patients with acute migraine, there were 343 people who took CAMBIA and 347 people who took placebo. The primary measurements in the study were the percentages of patients who were free from pain, nausea, sensitivity to light, and sensitivity to sound 2 hours after taking the medication.2

CAMBIA works quickly—in as little as 15 minutes in some patients4*

*Secondary component of a clinical trial was designed to look at how quickly a single dose of 50-mg CAMBIA worked compared to diclofenac potassium tablets.4

In a different study of patients with migraine pain, there were 265 people who took CAMBIA, 265 people who took diclofenac potassium tablets, and 257 people who took placebo. The primary measurement in the study was the percentage of patients who were pain free 2 hours after taking the medication.4

FULL SAFETY INFORMATION

INDICATION

CAMBIA is a prescription medicine used to treat migraine attacks in adults. It does not prevent or lessen the number of migraines you have, and it is not for other types of headaches. CAMBIA contains diclofenac potassium (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS CARDIOVASCULAR AND GASTROINTESTINAL EVENTS

CAMBIA is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). NSAIDs cause an increased risk of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death. This chance is higher with longer use of NSAID medicines and in people who have heart disease. CAMBIA should never be used right before or after a heart surgery called a “coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)”.

NSAID medicines cause an increased risk of stomach and intestine problems, such as ulcers and bleeding, which can happen without warning and may cause death. This risk increases with use of steroids (corticosteroids), blood thinners (anticoagulants), smoking, alcohol use, older age, for those in poor health, advanced liver disease, and bleeding problems.

What is the most important information I should know about CAMBIA?

CAMBIA contains diclofenac (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug or NSAID).

NSAIDs, including CAMBIA, can cause serious side effects, including:

  • Increased risk of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death. This risk may happen early in treatment and may increase:
    • with increasing doses of NSAIDs
    • with longer use of NSAIDs

Do not take NSAIDs, including CAMBIA, right before or after a heart surgery called a “coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).”

Avoid taking NSAIDs, including CAMBIA, after a recent heart attack, unless your healthcare provider tells you to. You may have an increased risk of another heart attack if you take NSAIDs after a recent heart attack.

  • Increased risk of bleeding, ulcers, and tears (perforation) of the esophagus (tube leading from the mouth to the stomach), stomach and intestines:
    • anytime during use
    • without warning symptoms
    • that may cause death

The risk of getting an ulcer or bleeding increases with:

  • past history of stomach ulcers, or stomach or intestinal bleeding with use of NSAIDs
  • taking medicines called “corticosteroids”, “anticoagulants”, “SSRIs”, or “SNRIs”
  • increasing doses of NSAIDs
  • longer use of NSAIDs
  • smoking
  • drinking alcohol
  • older age
  • poor health
  • advanced liver disease
  • bleeding problems

CAMBIA should only be used:

  • exactly as prescribed
  • at the lowest dose possible for your treatment
  • for the shortest time needed

Who should not take CAMBIA?

Do not take CAMBIA:

  • if you have had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergic reaction with aspirin, diclofenac, or any other NSAIDs.
  • right before or after heart bypass surgery.

Before taking CAMBIA, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:

  • have liver or kidney problems
  • have a history of stomach ulcer or bleeding in your stomach or intestines
  • have any allergies to any medicines
  • have chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeats
  • have high blood pressure
  • have asthma
  • are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, or are trying to become pregnant. Taking NSAIDs, including CAMBIA, at about 20 weeks of pregnancy or later may harm your unborn baby. If you need to take NSAIDs for more than 2 days when you are between 20 and 30 weeks of pregnancy, your healthcare provider may need to monitor the amount of fluid in your womb around your baby. You should not take NSAIDs after about 30 weeks of pregnancy.
  • are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
  • have a headache that is different from your usual migraine

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription or over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, or herbal supplements. NSAIDs, like CAMBIA, and some other medicines can interact with each other and cause serious side effects. Do not start taking any new medicine without talking to your healthcare provider first.

Especially tell your doctor if you take:

  • aspirin
  • any anticoagulant medicines (warfarin, Coumadin, Jantoven)

Know the medicine you take. Keep a list of your medicines and show it to your doctor and pharmacist when you get a new medicine.

What are the possible side effects of CAMBIA?

CAMBIA can cause serious side effects, including:

See “What is the most important information I should know about CAMBIA?”

  • new or worse high blood pressure
  • heart failure
  • liver problems including liver failure
  • kidney problems including kidney failure
  • bleeding and ulcers in the stomach and intestine
  • low red blood cells (anemia)
  • life-threatening skin reactions
  • life-threatening allergic reactions
  • asthma attacks in people who have asthma
  • medication overuse headaches. Some people who use too much CAMBIA may have worse headaches (medication overuse headache). If your headaches get worse, your healthcare provider may decide to stop your treatment with CAMBIA.

Other side effects of NSAIDs include: stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea, gas, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.

Get emergency help right away if you get any of the following symptoms:

  • shortness of breath or trouble breathing
  • chest pain
  • weakness in one part or one side of your body
  • slurred speech
  • swelling of the face or throat

Stop CAMBIA and call your healthcare provider right away if you have any of the following symptoms:

  • nausea that seems out of proportion to your migraine
  • sudden or severe pain in your belly
  • more tired or weaker than usual
  • diarrhea
  • itching
  • your skin or eyes look yellow
  • indigestion or stomach pain
  • vomit blood
  • there is blood in your bowel movement or it is black and sticky like tar
  • unusual weight gain
  • skin rash or blisters with fever
  • swelling of the arms, legs, hands and feet
  • flu-like symptoms

If you take too much of your NSAID, call your healthcare provider or get medical help right away.

These are not all the possible side effects of NSAIDs. For more information, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist about NSAIDs.

Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
