Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently used for pain relief and antiinflammatory purposes. They are often combined with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the most potent blockers of gastric acid secretion to reduce gastroduodenal complications of NSAID use. This thesis studied the use and safety of NSAIDs and PPIs.
