Overview
Helicobacter pylori eradication has been proved as the most cost-effective strategy for primary prevention of NSAID-associated peptic ulcer, especially for patients above the age of 50 years.
Primary Prevention
Lifestyle changes may help prevent peptic ulcers:[1][2]
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and other NSAIDs. Try acetaminophen instead. If you must take such medicines, talk to your doctor first
- Don't smoke or chew tobacco
- Limit alcohol to no more than two drinks per day
Patients on long-term NSAID therapy and with the following risk factors, present an elevated risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation:[3][4]
- History of ulcer complication
- History of ulcer disease (non-bleeding)
- Dual antiplatelet therapy
- Concomitant anticoagulant therapy
- ≥60 years
- Corticosteroid use
- Dyspepsia
- GERD symptoms
- Helicobacter pylori infection
