Precautions

US BOXED WARNINGS: Risk of Serious Cardiovascular and Gastrointestinal Events

  • Cardiovascular Thrombotic Events: NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events including myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may occur early in treatment and may increase with duration of use. This drug is contraindicated in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
  • Gastrointestinal (GI) Bleeding, Ulceration, and Perforation: NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious GI adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients and patients with a prior history of peptic ulcer disease and/or GI bleeding are at greater risk for serious GI events.

CONTRAINDICATIONS:
  • Hypersensitivity to sumatriptan, naproxen, or any product excipients
  • Ischemic coronary artery disease (angina pectoris, history of myocardial infarction, or documented silent ischemia) or coronary artery vasospasm, including Prinzmetal's angina
  • In the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery
  • Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or arrhythmias associated with other cardiac accessory conduction pathway disorders
  • History of stroke or transient ischemic attack or history of hemiplegic or basilar migraine because these patients are at a higher risk of stroke
  • Peripheral vascular disease
  • Ischemic bowel disease
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Recent use (within 24 hours) of ergotamine-containing medication, ergot-type medication (such as dihydroergotamine or methysergide), or another 5-hydroxytryptamine 1 agonist
  • Use concurrently, or within 2 weeks of a monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A inhibitor
  • Asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs; severe sometimes fatal, anaphylactic reactions to NSAIDs have been reported in such patients
  • Severe hepatic impairment

Safety and efficacy have not been established in patients younger than 12 years.

Consult WARNINGS section for additional precautions.
