A member asked:
How do you take ppi w/ nsaid if you have peptic ulcer? which ppi drug/dose do you recommend if someone w/ peptic ulcer must on max dose of nsaid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid NSAID if able: I would minimize NSAID use and/or consider a cox-2 alternative. Hpylori needs to be excluded and treated if present. With this i would rec high dose ppi bid for 6-8 weeks and then if PUD healed decrease to once a day.

Is ppi superior than H2 blocker to heal nsaid induced gastritis/ulcer if taken symptomatically(only when pain in stomach). I did not take it everyday.
Are cox 2 inhibitors completely free from side effect of gastritis/ulcer?Or they only reduce the risk? why doctors still prescribe plain nsaids like diclofenac,advil if selective cox-2 are so great? should a sensitive person take ppi along with cox 2?
Do selective cox2 inhibitor nsaids completely eliminate the risk of ulcer/gastritis? OR it only reduces it by a certain percentage. Should a person with sensitive stomach still take a ppi along with selective cox2 for protection?
My doctor says I have a peptic ulcer. I don't take nsaids. He hasn't tested for h pylori or prescribed antibiotics, just a ppi.Will that fix it?
