Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin, are the most commonly used medications worldwide. They are effective analgesic and anti-inflammatory agents. A major drawback to their use is a high frequency of adverse gastrointestinal (GI) effects that cause significant morbidity, occasional mortality, and substantial increases in cost of therapy. In this review, mechanisms of NSAID-induced GI injury are presented, and a clinical approach to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these adverse GI effects is provided.
