21 April 2005 FDA statement on NSAIDs Boxed warning for increased risk of CV events and GI bleeding associated with all prescription NSAIDs For all prescription NSAIDs, FDA requested a contraindication for use in patients who have recently undergone CABG surgery The labeling for OTC NSAIDs has been revised to include more specific information about potential CV and GI risks and information to remind patients of the limited dose and duration of treatment of these products in accordance with the package instructions Lack of consistent evidence that concurrent use of aspirin mitigates the increased risk of serious CV thrombotic events associated with NSAID use.

26 Sept 2006 FDA statement on NSAIDs

27 Ibuprofen and Aspirin Interaction: Attenuation of the Anti-Platelet Effect of Aspirin Healthcare professionals should be aware of an interaction between low dose aspirin (81 mg per day) and ibuprofen which might render aspirin less effective when used for its anti-platelet cardioprotective effect. Healthcare professionals should advise consumers and patients regarding the appropriate concomitant use of ibuprofen and aspirin. Other nonselective OTC NSAIDs should be viewed as having potential to interfere with the antiplatelet effect of low-dose aspirin unless proven otherwise. Analgesics that do not interfere with the antiplatelet effect of low dose aspirin should be considered for populations at high risk for cardiovascular events. FDA Scientific Statement 9/2006

28 Interaction of Naproxen with Aspirin Naproxen interfered with the inhibitory effect of aspirin on platelet COX-1 activity and function. This pharmacodynamic interaction might undermine the sustained inhibition of platelet COX-1 that is necessary for aspirin s cardioprotective effects. M. Capone et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2005;45:1295.

33 NY Medicare P&T Committee Formulary Update Patients treated with ASA for CV Indications may be prescribed Celecoxib without prior authorization

34 AMCH Formulary Recommendations: With the exception of aspirin, all NSAID s are considered to be contraindicated in patients: Undergoing CABG in the immediate post operative period Undergoing PCI Acute Coronary Syndrome / AMI Orders for NSAID s, with the exception of aspirin, will be auto-discontinued in these patients. For patients receiving chronic maintenance aspirin therapy for CV indications ischemic stroke or TIA, atrial fibrillation, CAD, prosthetic heart valves, chronic extremity arterial insufficiency, following vascular surgery or PCI NSAID s are considered to be contraindicated. In these patients, acetaminophen or the selective COX-2 inhibitor, celecoxib (Celebrex ) not to exceed 200mg/day may be used. Orders for NSAID s, with the exception of celecoxib, will be auto-discontinued in these patients. For patients requiring an NSAID for analgesia, acetaminophen or celecoxib (Celebrex ) not to exceed 200mg/day may be used.
