title: [Treatment of NSAIDs related dyspepsia].
abstract: NSAIDs-induced dyspepsia occurs in 10 to 30% of patients treated with NSAIDs, leading to discontinuation of treatment in 5 to 15%. Gastrointestinal tolerability of COX-2 selective inhibitors is better than for non-selective NSAIDs. Helicobacter pylori infection does not influence gastrointestinal tolerability of NSAIDs. Therefore, patients should not be tested and treated for H. pylori infection unless they have a history of peptic ulcer. Symptoms of NSAIDs-induced dyspepsia are poorly correlated with gastroduodenal mucosal damage. Therefore, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy should be performed only if symptom relief is not achieved with the first line empirical treatment and/or if symptoms suggestive of complications, such as bleeding, develop. Proton pump inhibitors appear to be the treatment of choice for NSAIDs-induced dyspepsia.
