The widespread use of NSAIDs has meant that the adverse effects of these relatively safe drugs have become increasingly prevalent. The two main adverse drug reactions (ADRs), associated with NSAIDs relate to gastrointestinal (GI) effects and renal effects of the agents.

An estimated 10-20% of NSAID patients experience dyspepsia, and NSAID-associated uppe ...
