Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Lower Gastrointestinal Complications
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 05/21/09
Lanas A et al. - Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-associated intestinal damage to the small and/or large bowel is frequent and may be present in up to 60% to 70% of patients taking these drugs long term. Intestinal damage is subclinical in most cases (eg, increased mucosal permeability, inflammation, erosions, ulceration), but more serious clinical outcomes, such as anemia and overall bleeding, perforation, obstruction, diverticulitis, and deaths, have also been described.
