            NSAID content

            • May increase risk for GI ulceration
            • Use caution in coadministration with antiplatelets/anticoagulants
            • May decrease benefit of cardioprotective low-dose aspirin
            • NSAIDS, except aspirin, increase risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke; which can be fatal; the risk is higher if patients use more than it was directed or for longer than needed
            • Use caution in patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, asthma, thyroid disease, diabetes, glaucoma, have trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate gland, or had a stroke
            • Patients should inform healthcare professional if they have symptoms of heart problems or stroke, chest pain, trouble breathing, weakness in one part or side of body, slurred speech, leg swelling
            • If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use; it is especially important not to use ibuprofen at 20 weeks or later in pregnancy unless definitely directed to do so by a doctor; it may cause problems in the unborn child or complications during delivery

            Antihistamine content

            • Additive risk for sedation when coadministered with other sedatives or alcohol
            • Caution when driving or operating machinery

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Ibuprofen

            • There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women; data from observational studies regarding potential embryofetal risks of NSAID use in women in the first or second trimesters of pregnancy are inconclusive
            • Animal studies
              • Based on animal data, prostaglandins have been shown to have an important role in endometrial vascular permeability, blastocyst implantation, and decidualization
              • In animal studies, administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors (eg, ibuprofen), resulted in increased pre-and post-implantation loss

              • Advise pregnant women of potential fetal risk
            • Clinical considerations
              • There are no studies on effects during labor or delivery
              • In animal studies, NSAIDs, including ibuprofen, inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, cause delayed parturition, and increase the incidence of stillbirth

            Chlorpheniramine

            • Antihistamine exposure in first trimester not reported to be associated with increased risk of malformations; animal studies not reported; there are no controlled data in human pregnancy; only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk

            Pseudoephedrine

            • Avoid, during first trimester; may be associated with possible risk of gastroschisis, small intestinal atresia, and hemifacial microsomia due to pseudoephedrine’s vasoconstrictive effects; magnitude of risk unknown
            • Fetal tachycardia reported following maternal use of extended-release formulation for multiple days

            Lactation

            Ibuprofen

            • No lactation studies have been conducted; however, limited published literature reports that, following oral administration, ibuprofen is present in human milk at relative infant doses of 0.06-0.6% of the maternal weight-adjusted daily dose; no information is available on effects of ibuprofen on milk production or on a breastfed infant

            Chlorpheniramine

            • Excretion into human milk; the manufacturer recommends that caution be used when administering chlorpheniramine to nursing women; infants should be monitored for irritability or drowsiness; antihistamines may temporarily decrease maternal serum prolactin concentrations when administered prior to nursing infant for the first time

            Pseudoephedrine

            • Excreted in breast milk; irritability reported in nursing infants (limited data); milk production may be decreased in some women

            Pregnancy Categories

            A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

            B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

            C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

            D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

            X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

            NA: Information not available.
