of serious
cardiovascular thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction and

fatal. This risk may occur early in treatment and may increase with
duration of use (see
WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS).
ProFeno tablets are contraindicated in the setting of coronary artery
bypass graft (CABG)
surgery (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS).
GASTROINTESTINAL RISK
NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse
events including bleeding,
ulceration and perforation of stomach or intestines, which can be
fatal. These events can occur
at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients
are at greater risk for
serious gastrointestinal events (see WARNINGS).
