Three tablets every 6 hours as needed for pain relief, up to a maximum of 12 tablets per day.
• Use the lowest effective dosage for shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals (2).
• Do not administer with other acetaminophen-containing products (2).
• Hypertension: Patients taking some antihypertensive medications may have impaired response to these therapies when taking NSAIDs. Monitor blood pressure.
• Heart Failure and Edema: Avoid use of COMBOGESIC in patients with severe heart failure unless benefits are expected to outweigh risk of worsening heart failure.
• Renal Toxicity: Long-term administration of NSAIDs, including the ibuprofen component of COMBOGESIC, has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and other renal injury.
• Anaphylactic Reactions: Seek emergency help if an anaphylactic reaction occurs.
• Exacerbation of Asthma Related to Aspirin Sensitivity: COMBOGESIC is contraindicated in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma. Monitor patients with preexisting asthma (without aspirin sensitivity).

• Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS): Discontinue and evaluate clinically.
• Fetal Toxicity: Limit use of NSAID-containing products, including COMBOGESIC, between about 20 to 30 weeks in pregnancy due to the risk of oligohydramnios/fetal renal dysfunction. Avoid use of NSAID- containing products, including COMBOGESIC in women at about 30 weeks gestation and later in pregnancy due to the risks of oligohydramnios/fetal renal dysfunction and premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus.
• Hematologic Toxicity: Monitor hemoglobin or hematocrit in patients with any signs or symptoms of anemia.
