What's the statistical risk of serious consequence in this scenario ?
VERY SMALL
I'd warn her of the possible side effects and tell her to come back and see
me
if she had the slightest worry re: GIT probs
If she returned with symptoms suggesting GI problem then I'd give her
Omeprazole
and weigh up the need v's risk re: continuation of NSAID.
Incidentally I thought Ibuprofen was one of the safest - 4th division ???
What's better and to what degree ?
Cheers Pete
