A member asked:
Hi. i get indigestion/heartburn from prescription anti inflammatory after a week of taking them for the bursitis i have in my shoulder.

Stop: I would stop taking them and pursue other alternatives for your shoulder. What some people think is simple indigestion from an antiinflammatory can actually be a developing ulcer. If it does not resolve soon after discontinuing the medication, consider being checked.

Proton pump agent: You can try a proton pump inhibitor such as Prilosec (losec), protonix, (pantoprazole) prevacid, etc. At the same time. This often significantly reduces the risk of GI irritation from nsaids.
