I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer due to overuse of nsaids. can i ever take motrin again?

Yes you could: When the ulcer will heal, your doc will give prophylactic treatment to prevent the ulcer from coming back.You could try to take this medication when you use the motrin. Be careful it is better non to use the Motrin except when you need it.
