A member asked:
As clopidogrel and fibrazate strong on stomach and i have diverticulitis would taking a proton pump inhibiter be possible and help to coat stomach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't think that: would be particularly effective. Clopidogrel, a platelet inhibitor intended to prevent blood clots, does not usually cause GI side effects. Fibrazate does cause bloating/gas/diarrhea, but is not reported to stimulate gastric/stomach acid production which a PPI targets. In general it is not a good idea to take an additional medication to counteract side effects.

In order to protect the stomach while talking nsaids like naproxen, diclofenac or the selective cox2 inhibitors like celecoxib, meloxicam. The proton pump inhibitor should be taken once a day or twice a day?
