Do not take NSAIDs right before or after a heart surgery called a
"coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)."

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
•
longer use of NSAIDs

(inflammation) from medical conditions
such as different types of arthritis, menstrual cramps, and other
types of short-term pain.
