Hello, Ann! How are you?

Only you and your doctor can decide how long it is safe for you to continue it.

However, you should be aware that long-term use of NSAIDs, such as this, creates the risk of stomach ulceration and liver damage or failure.

Its typical side effects, as reported by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache and increased risk of bleeding.

Is there anything else I can help with?
