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?
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?
Had endoscopy today. It's a gastric ulcer w/antral gastritis and duodenitis! wondering what else might be inflamed & how to correct w/o nsaids?
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?
