that can lead to death. This chance
increases:
•
with longer use of NSAID medicines
•
in people who have heart disease
NSAID medicines should never be used right before or after a heart
surgery called a "coronary artery
bypass graft (CABG)."
NSAID medicines can cause ulcers and bleeding in the stomach and
intestines at any time during
treatment. Ulcers and bleeding:
•
can happen without warning symptoms
•
may cause death
The chance of a person getting an ulcer or bleeding increases with:
•
taking medicines called "corticosteroids" and "anticoagulants"
•
longer use
•
smoking
•
drinking alcohol
•
older age
•
having poor health
NSAID medicines should only be used:
•
exactly as prescribed
•
at the lowest dose possible for your treatment
•
for the shortest time needed

(inflammation) from medical
conditions such as:

different types of arthritis

Do not take an NSAID medicine:

if you had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergic reaction with
aspirin or any other NSAID
medicine

for pain right before or after heart bypass surgery
Tell your healthcare provider:
•
about all of your medical conditions.
•
about all of the medicines you take. NSAIDs and some other medicines
can interact with each
other and cause serious side effects. Keep a list of your medicines to
show to your healthcare
provider and pharmacist.
