MEDICATION GUIDE FOR NONSTEROIDAL
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDS)
What is 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 doses of NSAIDs
•
older age
•
longer use of NSAIDs
•
poor health
•
smoking
•
advanced liver disease
•
drinking alcohol
•
bleeding problems
NSAIDs should only be used:
•
exactly as prescribed
•
at the lowest dose possible for your treatment
•
for the shortest time needed
What are NSAIDs?
NSAIDs 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 NSAIDs?
Do not take NSAIDs:
•
if you have had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergic reaction
with aspirin or any other NSAIDs.
•
right before or after heart bypass surgery.
Before taking NSAIDS, te
