The Rate of Prescribing Gastrointestinal Prophylaxis with Either a Proton Pump Inhibitor Or an H2-Receptor Antagonist in Nova Scotia Seniors Starting Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Therapy
BACKGROUND: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used agents that can cause serious gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. For patients at increased risk of NSAID-related GI complications, prophylaxis with either a nonselective NSAID plus gastroprotective agent (GPA) or, alternative...
