The impact of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced gastropathy
Abstract:
Gastric and duodenal injury related to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use is extremely common, and a variety of strategies can be employed to reduce this frequent side effect of an otherwise useful category of medications. Although the best approach may be to discontinue NSAID treatment, this is not always possible for patients with arthritis pain or for those who require low-dose aspirin therapy for underlying cardiovascular disease. In arthritis cases, one of the new cyclooxygenase-2 specific inhibitors can be used to replace a traditional NSAID, but the addition of another drug to treat and heal ulcers is normally still needed. Patients taking aspirin are also candidates for additional treatment.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Gastritis III: Clinical Manifestations and Management
Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.
Factors Influencing Drug Absorption: Disease States and Pharmacology
Substances such as alcohol and specific drugs, including antineoplastics, can also negatively impact drug absorption. For instance,...
