Medication Guide for Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
This Medication Guide has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
Revised: 5/2021
What is the most important information I should know about medicines
called Nonsteroidal 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 doses 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

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause an increased risk
of serious cardiovascular
