: Hypertension
:
: NSAIDs including MOTRIN tablets, can lead to
: onset of new hypertension or worsening of
: preexisting hypertension, either of which
: may contribute to the increased incidence of
: CV events. Patients taking thiazides or loop
: diuretics may have impaired response to
: these therapies when taking NSAIDs. NSAIDs,
: including MOTRIN tablets, should be used
: with caution in patients with hypertension.
: Blood pressure (BP) should be monitored
: closely during the initiation of NSAID
: treatment and throughout the course of
: therapy.
:
: Congestive Heart Failure and Edema
:
: Fluid retention and edema have been observed
: in some patients taking NSAIDs. MOTRIN
: tablets should be used with caution in
: patients with fluid retention or heart
: failure.
:
: In addition, anyone starting NSAID therapy should be concerned with acute onset GI bleeding. If hypertension is a pre-existing condition another form of therapy should be considered. Also NSAIDS are metabolized by the liver so if your liver is already working over time breaking down other substances you may be using, stay away from the motrin.
