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 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
provider and pharmacist.
• if you a

gastrointestinal
