Abstract
Objective of the Review: to discuss the most common adverse events from the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) for GIT: NSAID-induced esophago-, gastroduodeno- and enteropathy, possible management and the use of various therapies in order to minimize the risks of this pathology. Key Points. NSAIDs are efficient analgetics and anti-inflammatory products widely used in clinical setting. NSAIDs are prescribed mostly to patients with chronic joint and spine conditions. As a lot of patients who take NSAIDs are comorbid, they have frequent adverse reactions to drugs, including NSAIDs, and need stricter control if this is a therapy of choice. Selective NSAIDs (nimesulide) are characterised by good bioavailability; they are efficient pain killers, possess marked anti-inflammatory properties and are relatively safe, thus making it possible to minimise the rate of adverse reactions for GIT. Conclusion. It should be emphasised that the issue of NSAID-induced GIT disorders is still challenging and can be aggravated in comorbid patients. Of prime importance are timely prevention and diagnosis of NSAID-induced GIT disorders and sustainable and individuated NSAID prescription.
