Abstract
A significative percentage of patients taking non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs experience some type of gastro-intestinal events. Although any tract of the small and large intestine may be damaged, the lesions of the gastro-duodenal tract are the most frequent and relevant. There are many strategies that can decrease the risk of ulcer developement and its complications., including the use of analgesics, cyclo-oxygenase 2 selective NSAIDs, avoid concomitant use of steroids, etc. Preventive therapy withmisoprostol, H2 receptor antagonists, omeprazole and sucralfate are other effective treatments.File in questo prodotto:
