The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required an update to the Drug Facts labeling of all adult and pediatric non-aspirin OTC nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), for example Motrin®, Advil®, and Aleve® products. These strengthen and expand existing warnings relating to the risk of heart attack and stroke associated with NSAIDs.6
