Backache Relief Pills Oral Warning
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including magnesium
salicylate) may rarely increase the risk for a heart attack or
stroke. This effect does not apply to low-dose aspirin. (See Drug
Interactions section.) The risk may be greater in people with heart
disease or increased risk for heart disease (e.g., due to high
blood pressure, diabetes), or with longer use. This drug should not
be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery (CABG). Also,
this drug may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding
from the stomach or intestines. This bleeding can occur without
warning symptoms at any time during treatment.
Stop taking this medication and seek immediate medical attention
if you notice any of the following rare but very serious side
effects: chest pain, severe dizziness, weakness on one side of the
body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech, black stools,
persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee
grounds. (See also Precautions section.)
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about the risks and benefits
of treatment with this medication.
