            May impair patient’s ability to engage in potentially hazardous activities (eg, operating machinery, driving a motor vehicle)

            Aspirin should be used with extreme caution in the presence of peptic ulcers and coagulation abnormalities

            Pregnancy & Lactation

            Pregnancy

            Use of NSAIDs can cause premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus and fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios and, in some cases, neonatal renal impairment

            Because of these risks, limit dose and duration of drug combination between about 20 and 30 weeks of gestation, and avoid use at about 30 weeks of gestation and later in pregnancy

            Use of NSAIDs at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy has been associated with cases of fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios, and in some cases, neonatal renal impairment

            If an NSAID is necessary at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy, limit use to the lowest effective dose and shortest duration possible; if drug combination treatment extends beyond 48 hours, consider monitoring with ultrasound for oligohydramnios; if oligohydramnios occurs, discontinue drug use and follow up according to clinical practice

            If an NSAID is necessary at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy, limit the use to the lowest effective dose and shortest duration possible. If treatment extends beyond 48 hours, consider monitoring with ultrasound for oligohydramnios. If oligohydramnios occurs, discontinue treatment and follow up according to clinical practice

            Data from observational studies regarding other potential embryofetal risks of NSAID use in women in the first or second trimesters of pregnancy are inconclusive

            Animal data

            • Based on animal data, prostaglandins have been shown to have important role in endometrial vascular permeability, blastocyst implantation, and decidualization; in animal studies, administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors such as aspirin, resulted in increased pre-and post-implantation loss
            • Prostaglandins also have been shown to have an important role in fetal kidney development; in published animal studies, prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors have been reported to impair kidney development when administered at clinically relevant doses

            Lactation

            Safety during lactation has not been established

            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.
