Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
As a class, NSAIDs have been associated with renal papillary necrosis and other abnormal renal pathology during long-term administration to animals. The second form of renal toxicity often associated with NSAIDs is seen in patients with conditions leading to a reduction in renal blood flow or blood volume, where renal prostaglandins have a supportive role in the maintenance of renal perfusion in these patients, administration of an NSAID results in a dose-dependent decrease in prostaglandin synthesis and, secondarily, in a reduction of renal blood flow, which may precipitate overt renal decompensation Patients at greatest risk of this reaction are those with impaired renal function, heart failure, liver dysfunction, those taking diuretics, and the elderly Discontinuation of NSAID therapy is typically followed by recovery to the pretreatment state
Contraindications
Nabumetone is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to nabumetone or its excipients.
