GASTROINTESTINAL COMPLICATIONS DURING TREATMENT: NON-STEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS ARE USED IN TREATMENT

Abstract

To date, the world medical literature presents a huge amount of data on the side effects of NSAID therapy, primarily on their toxic effects on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). It is known that NSAID-induced erosive and ulcerative damage can be localized in almost any part of the digestive tract. However, traditionally the subject of discussion is NSAID-induced damage to the mucous membrane of the gastroduodenal zone .
