MEDICATION GUIDE
Medication Guide forNon-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
What it the most important information I should know about medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)?
NSAIDs 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 right before or after a heart surgery called a “coronary artery bypass graft (CABG).”
Avoid taking NSAIDs 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 use of NSAIDs
° longer use of NSAIDs
° smoking
° drinking alcohol
° older age
° poor health
° advanced liver disease
° bleeding problems
NSAIDs should only be used:
° exactly as prescribed
° at the lowest dose possible for your treatment
° for the shortest time needed
