9. What should I avoid while being treated with Alimta?

Women should avoid becoming pregnant while being treated with Alimta because Alimta may cause harm to an unborn baby.

Avoid taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for at least 5 days before Alimta treatment, during the day of treatment, and for two days after treatment. If you are not sure if a drug you take is a NSAID, ask your doctor or pharmacist. There are many NSAID medicines that are prescription and over-the-counter.

Mesothelioma & Asbestosis Mortalities Across the US: 1979-2001 (c/o EWG)

“We have seen first-hand how asbestos has wreaked havoc on Americans working in naval shipyards, automobile plants, and the construction industry. Most often this is through their employers’ conscious choice for profits over a worker's health.”

-- Joseph Patrick Williams, a trial attorney in the Asbestos Litigation department of Weitz & Luxenberg
