Why do i need to take protein pump inhibitors when i take nsaids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NSAIDs: Unless you're on treatment for peptic ulcer or gastritis or taking nsaids daily, I don't understand why you should take a PPI whenever you take an nsaid. Just don't take them on an empty stomach since they do stimulate secretion of acid in the stomach.
