A member asked:
How many nsaids leads to ulcer? i took some over the course of 2 months but i didn't even take the recommended amount. my total was 8-9

Many more: If you take nsaids on a daily basis for a prolonged period of time, it can cause gastritis and eventually an ulcer. If you only took 8 or 9 tablets in 2 months, you should be ok.
