Warnings

 

Patients who take NSAIDs (like Flurbiprofen) have a greater risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke than those who do not take them. These events have no warning and can cause death. Those taking NSAIDs for a long period of time have an even higher risk. If you have recently had a heart attack, do not take this medication unless instructed to do so by your doctor. You should tell your doctor if you have a family history of heart disease, heart attacks, or strokes. You should also let your doctor know if you smoke, or have ever had high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes.

 

Get emergency help right away if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness in one part or side of the body, or slurred speech, as these may be signs of a heart attack or stroke. If you will be undergoing a coronary artery bypass graft you should not take this medication right before or after surgery.

 

NSAIDs can also cause ulcers, bleeding and holes in the stomach or intestine. These can develop at any time during your treatment without warning, and may cause death. This risk is even higher in those who take this drug for long periods of time, are in old age, have poor health, or drink large amounts of alcohol.

You should also tell your doctor if you have ever had ulcers or bleeding in the stomach and intestines or other bleeding disorders. If you experience stomach pain, heartburn, vomit that is bloody or looks like coffee grounds, blood in the stool, or black and tarry stools, you need to stop taking Flurbiprofen immediately and call your doctor.
