Medication Guide for Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
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
•

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
•

•
smoking
•
drinking alcohol
•
older age
•

(inflammation) from medical conditions such
as different types of arthritis, menstrual cramps, and other types of
short-term pain.
Who should not take NSAIDs?
