  • Title: NSAID-induced gastric mucosal damage.
    Author: Semble EL, Wu WC.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1987 Jun; 35(6):101-8. PubMed ID: 3332745.
    Abstract:
    Gastric mucosal damage is a common side effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs may cause gastrointestinal symptoms, gastric erosions, peptic ulcers or upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, NSAIDs should be used cautiously in patients with a history of gastrointestinal lesions. Drugs that may be useful in preventing or treating NSAID-induced gastric mucosal injury are under intensive clinical investigation.
