In some patients, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may be taken just once a day to lower the risk of stomach side effects in patients taking NSAIDs. However, if s/he isn’t already included, it’s going to be good to loop your doctor into the decision to take a PPI. S/He may want you to take a different dose or avoid it entirely because it may affect other medications you’re taking.
