| Description: |
In this collection of essays, clinicians and researchers review the epidemiology and clinical features of mucosal damage induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The contributors describe potential approaches to the treatment and prevention of this damage. |
| Synopsis: |
In the USA alone, more than 100 million prescriptions for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are written each year. However, despite their therapeutic effectiveness, adverse side effects to the gastrointestinal tract - from nonsymptomatic bleeding to life-threatening ulceration and hemorrhage - are so common that NSAID-induced gastropathy has been described as "an emerging epidemic." Because most NSAIDs induce gastrointestinal damage via the same prostaglandin-inhibitory mechanism that provides their anti-inflammatory properties, no NSAID is completely devoid of side effects. In this collection of articles, international experts critically review the epidemiology and clinical features of NSAID-induced mucosal damage, the putative mechanisms behind the injuries, and potential approaches to preventing and treating them. Drawing together a large volume of widely dispersed information, these papers should enable clinicians and general practitioners to make well-informed and rational choices for the prophylaxis and therapy of NSAID-induced damage. |
