  • Title: Cyclooxygenase inhibition: between the devil and the deep blue sea.
    Author: Hawkey CJ.
    Journal: Gut; 2002 May; 50 Suppl 3(Suppl 3):III25-30. PubMed ID: 11953329.
    Abstract:
    Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) account for more reports of drug related toxicity than any other class of drugs. Their most widely recognised adverse effects are on the gastrointestinal tract. They cause acute erosions and chronic ulcers that result in hospitalisation and death because of ulcer bleeding and perforation. Between them, aspirin and non-aspirin NSAIDs may account for more than half of all episodes of ulcer bleeding and perforation.
