This medication is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)
which relieves pain and inflammation (swelling). It is used to
treat pain, swelling and stiffness due to arthritis. This drug
works by blocking the enzyme in your body that makes
prostaglandins. Decreasing prostaglandins helps to reduce pain
and swelling.

Stomach upset, diarrhea, gas or nausea may occur. If these
effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Very
unlikely but report promptly: unusual fatigue, yellowing eyes
or skin, severe headache, unexplained weight gain, change in
amount of urine. If you notice any of the following unlikely
but very serious side effects, stop taking this drug and
consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately: black stools,
persistent stomach/ abdominal pain, vomit that looks like
coffee grounds. In the unlikely event you have an allergic
reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical attention.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, itching,
swelling, dizziness or trouble breathing. If you notice other
effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Tell your doctor your medical history, including: allergies
(especially allergies to drugs such as sulfas or NSAID like
ibuprofen), kidney problems, liver problems, heart disease,
alcohol use, high blood pressure, swelling (edema), blood
disorders (anemia), serious infections, stomach problems
(bleeding or ulcers), asthma, growths in the nose (nasal
polyps), dehydration, poorly controlled diabetes. This
medicine may cause stomach bleeding. Daily use of alcohol,
especially when combined with this medicine, may increase your
risk for stomach bleeding. Check with your doctor or
pharmacist for more information. This medication should be
used only when clearly needed during the first 3 months of
pregnancy. It is not recommended for use during the last 6
months of pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your
doctor. It is not known whether this drug is excreted into
breast milk. Due to the potential risk to the infant,
breast-feeding while using this drug is not recommended.
Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Caution is advised
when this drug is used in the elderly, as they may be more
sensitive to the side effects of this medication.

Tell your doctor of all prescription and nonprescription
medications you use, especially of: fluconazole, lithium,
"water pills" (diuretics, e.g., furosemide,
hydrochlorothiazide), drugs for high blood pressure, ACE
inhibitors (e.g., captopril, lisinopril), corticosteroids
(e.g., prednisone), "blood thinners" (e.g., warfarin), NSAID
(e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen). Check all prescription and
nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many contain
pain relievers/fever reducers (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen,
naproxen, or aspirin) that are similar to this drug. Aspirin,
as prescribed by your doctor for reasons such as heart attack
or stroke prevention (usually these dosages are 81-325 mg per
day), should be continued. Consult your doctor or pharmacist
for more details. Do not start or stop any medicine without
doctor or pharmacist approval.

Store at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 - 30
degrees C) away from light and moisture.
