A member asked:
I take nsaids for about 1.5 weeks a month due to endometriosis pain. how can i protect my stomach and prevent ulcers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take with food: try to take with food and try not to go over the recommended dosing. Try to limit other foods that might increase acidity in the stomach. Try to limit caffeine, nicotine, citrus fruit, tomato sauce and others.
