increases:

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

NSAID medicines are used to treat pain and redness, swelling, and heat
(inflammation) from medical
conditions such as:
•
different types of arthritis
•
menstrual cramps and other types of short-term pain
Who should not take a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID)?
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
