 NSAIDs
My wife was precribed Celebrex for her arthritis. worked well but started suffering from stomach ache and had GI bleed. Could not believe that Celebrex to blame and she ended up with a sigmoidoscopy. This found a bleeding point (not a cancer as feared) and after stopping celebrex and a course of omeprazole--all Ok. She now takes ibuprofen but still needs an omeprazole.
I had problems after a combination of aspirin plus a whisky, so now I am on lansoprazole as keeping aspirin 300mg and Ibu 400mg going to relieve arthritis.
when I was young prided myself on my 'cast iron' stomach.
