How To Reduce Stomach Bulge

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used as painkillers and to reduce fever, but long-term use can cause peptic ulcers, which can even be deadly. Many people experience heartburn or stomach upset after taking drugs like ibuprofen, but it is possible to have a ulcer without any symptoms.

Combining NSAIDs with some other medications can further increase the risk of peptic ulcers. This includes steroids (e.g. prednisone, dexamethasone and hydrocortisone) and SSRIs, a popular class of antidepressant medication.

There are several ways to reduce the risk of gastric bleeding, such as choosing a different NSAID or taking another drug or supplement to protect the stomach.
