Talk to your doctor before taking TREXIMET if you have stomach ulcers or bleeding; chest pain, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeats; kidney problems; asthma; Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis; are pregnant, nursing, or thinking about becoming pregnant; or taking medications, especially pain relievers or antidepressants. TREXIMET should not be used in late pregnancy (third trimester) because TREXIMET can harm your unborn baby. TREXIMET should not be used if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed because TREXIMET passes into your breast milk and may harm your baby.

Do not take TREXIMET if you have taken an MAOI antidepressant within the last 2 weeks. Do not take TREXIMET if you have taken ergotamine-containing medicines or other triptans within the last 24 hours. TREXIMET should only be used exactly as prescribed, at the lowest dose and for the shortest time possible.
