Important Safety Information
ARTHROTEC should not be taken by women who are pregnant or who may become pregnant. ARTHROTEC can cause miscarriage, often associated with bleeding, which may result in other serious complications.

Like all prescription NSAIDs, ARTHROTEC may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke that can lead to death. It should not be used right before or after certain heart surgeries.

Serious skin reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, can occur without warning and may cause death.

Patients taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.

Tell your doctor if you:

• Are pregnant
• Have a history of ulcers or bleeding in the stomach or intestines
• Have high blood pressure or heart failure
• Have kidney or liver problems

Prescription ARTHROTEC should be used exactly as prescribed at the lowest dose possible and for the shortest time needed.
