But as per the UK-based GP, this can prove a rather risky move, given that these drugs have been known to inflict both ulceration and bleeding onto some patients – especially those who take them regular, or those suffering with arthritis.
“Bleeding from the stomach and upper gut is a dangerous condition that, according to an audit led by a team from the University of Oxford, results in at least 60,000 hospital admissions a year,” Mr Porter explained. “About one in ten of those affected never return home.”
Evidencing his assertion, the medic quoted the findings of a report published in the health journal Gut some time ago, comparing the outcomes between patients from 2007 and from 2022, revealing how many people admitted to hospital enduring bleeds were taking any of these types of medication.
