Medication Guide for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
(See the end of this Medication Guide for a list of prescription NSAID
medicines.)
What is the most important information I should know about medicines
called Non-Steroidal Anti-
Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)?
NSAID medicines may increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke
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
What are Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)?
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 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.
• if you are pregnant. NSAID medicines sh

CARDIOVASCULAR RISK
NSAIDs may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular
thrombotic events, myocardial
infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may increase
with duration of use. Patients
with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease
may be at greater risk
(See WARNINGS).
Ibuprofen tablets are contraindicated for treatment of peri-operative
pain in the setting of
coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (see WARNINGS).
GASTROINTESTINAL RISK
NSAIDS cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse
events including
bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the 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).
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Ibuprofen tablets contain ibuprofen which possesses analgesic and
antipyretic activities. Its mode of
action, like that of other NSAIDs, is not completely understood, but
may be related to prostaglandin
synthetase inhibition.
In clinical studies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and
osteoarthritis, ibuprofen tablets have been
shown to be comparable to aspirin in controlling pain and inflammation
and to be associated with a
statistically significant reduction in the milder gastrointestinal
side effects (see ADVERSE
REACTIONS). Ibuprofen tablets may be well tolerated in some patients
who have had gastrointestinal
side effects with aspirin, but these patients when treated with
ibuprofen tablets should be carefully
followed for signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal ulceration and
bleeding. Although it is not
definitely known whether ibuprofen tablets causes less peptic
ulceration than aspirin, in one study
involving 885 patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated for up to one
year, there were no reports of
gastric ulceration with ibuprofen tablets whereas frank ulceration was
reported in 13
