    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) are the most widely prescribed medication in the world, with a high complication rate including gastrointestinal damage. OBJECTIVE: To present two clinical cases of intestinal damage associated to the chronic ingestion of NSAIDs. METHOD: A clinical case with inflammatory bowel disease and jejunum enteropathy and another case associated with clinical symptoms of digestive hemorrhage and endoscopic demostration of ulcers in the right colon. CONCLUSION: Patients with previous ingestion of NSAIDs presenting diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, malnutrition or anemia need to discard intestinal damage.
