Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The NSAID class of medications is frequently used for mild to moderate pain. While overall safe, NSAIDs have several important adverse effects including esophageal, gastric and duodenal ulceration which limit their use. This has led to the development of NSAIDs with either less gastrointestinal side effects or concurrent use of medications to prevent NSAID gastrointestinal side effects. While several classes of medications exist for the prevention of gastrointestinal side effects, few combination treatments are available in a single pill. Towards this end, a combination pill of ibuprofen and famotidine (HZT-501, Horizon Therapeutics, Skokie, IL. USA) has been developed. |
