A new study has suggested that damage to the upper gastrointestinal tract from conditions such as reflux, peptic ulcers, and prolonged use of NSAIDS may increase Parkinson’s risk by 76%.
The widespread use of NSAIDs has meant that the adverse effects of these drugs have become increasingly common. Use of NSAIDs increases risk of a range of gastrointestinal (GI) problems, kidney disease and adverse cardiovascular events. [40] [41] As commonly used for post-operative pain, there is evidence of increased risk of kidney ...
Long-term use of NSAIDs can cause gastric erosions, which can become stomach ulcers and in extreme cases can cause severe haemorrhage, resulting in death. The risk of death as a result of GI bleeding caused by the use of NSAIDs is 1 in 12,000 for adults aged 16–45. [5] The risk increases almost twentyfold for those over 75. [5]
Mosapride is a gastroprokinetic agent that acts as a selective 5HT 4 agonist.The major active metabolite of mosapride, known as M1, additionally acts as a 5HT 3 antagonist, [1] which accelerates emptying throughout the whole of the gastrointestinal tract in humans, [2] and is used for the treatment of gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, functional dyspepsia [3] and irritable bowel ...
Nimesulide has a relatively rapid onset of action, with meaningful reductions in pain and inflammation observed within 15 minutes from drug intake. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] The therapeutic effects of nimesulide are the result of its complex mode of action, which targets a number of key mediators of the inflammatory process such as: COX-2 mediated ...
Patiromer was generally well tolerated in studies. Side effects that occurred in more than 2% of patients included in clinical trials were mainly gastro-intestinal problems such as constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and flatulence, and also hypomagnesemia (low levels of magnesium in the blood) in 5% of patients, because patiromer binds magnesium in the gut as well.
Ranitidine was found to have a far-improved tolerability profile (i.e. fewer adverse drug reactions), longer-lasting action, and 10 times the activity of cimetidine. Ranitidine has 10% of the affinity that cimetidine has to CYP450 , so it causes fewer side effects, but other H 2 blockers famotidine and nizatidine have no CYP450 significant ...
