However, in current studies, the risk of GI bleeding with clopidogrel use was found to be similar with ASA, anticoagulant, or
NSAID use.
To test this hypothesis, researchers developed a new approach to AD prevention trials and used it to test whether the common
NSAID naproxen could indeed stop the disease in its tracks before people developed AD symptoms.
An
NSAID was prescribed after 9.3% of these visits.
A patient's pre-existing health conditions should be considered when selecting an
NSAID.
NSAIDs interfere with the COX-1 enzyme, which is involved in protecting the lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and consequently
NSAIDs may cause GI problems.
The patients were divided into 2 groups; in group 1 (10 eyes) the patients received short-term topical
NSAIDs preoperatively (ketorolac, 4 times per day for 3 days prior to cataract extraction), while the patients in group 2 (10 eyes) did not receive
NSAID pretreatment.
The study found no significant association between cardiac arrest and the COX-2 selective inhibitors celecoxib and rofecoxib, or with the unselective
NSAID naproxen.
The upper gastrointestinal symptom score was significantly lower in the LDA-only group (20.5 [+ or -] 9.4 in the nonusing group, 19.6 [+ or -] 8.6 in the NSAID-only group, 16.7 [+ or -] 11.6 in the LDA-only group, and 18.5 [+ or -] 7.2 in the
NSAID + LDA group, P < 0.05, Figure 2).
The pathogenesis of the disease is unclear but it has been linked with long term
NSAID use [5-7].
Of the 995 respondents, those who prescribed
NSAID plasters to more than 50 patients in the past month were included.
Drug provocation is a gold standard in the diagnosis of
NSAID hypersensitivity (3, 11).
The use of
NSAID affects the metabolism of arachidonic acid in favor of proinflammatory prostaglandin production, which then induces mucosal damage (usually in terminal ileum and colon).
We sought to assess the trend of
NSAID use in four primary health care institutions in the province of A'Seeb, located in the capital city of Muscat.
