BLEEDING INDUCED BY TAKING NON-STEROID ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS IN THE UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

Abstract

At first glance, it is paradoxical that more people suffer from gastrointestinal bleeding, against the background of an emerging trend towards a decrease in the incidence of peptic ulcers, especially gastric ulcers. This trend is largely due to the widespread use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs ) , which cause erosions and ulcers of the digestive tract.
