Topical forms of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been created to lessen systemic adverse effects. In general, they are believed to be well tolerated and appropriate for use as an over-the-counter (OTC) drug.
A 68-year-old woman visited our clinic due to tarry stool. The patient reported multiple episodes of recurrent bleeding from a gastric ulcer for 2 months and was treated with endoscopic hemostatic clipping. The patient disclosed she had been using a large number of diclofenac patches for more than 3 months. The patient was treated conservatively by discontinuation of diclofenac patches and treatment with a proton pump inhibitor and omeprazole.
In conclusion, inappropriate use of topical NSAID patches can be a cause of peptic ulcer bleeding. Patients reporting multiple episodes of recurrent bleeding from a gastric ulcer should be questioned, particularly about the use of OTC medications that might include topical NSAID patches.
非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)的局部剂型已被研发出来以减轻全身不良反应。一般认为,它们耐受性良好,适合作为非处方药(OTC)使用。
一名68岁女性因柏油样便前来我院就诊。患者报告称,胃溃疡反复出血达2个月,曾接受内镜止血夹闭治疗。患者透露,她使用大量双氯芬酸贴片已超过3个月。通过停用双氯芬酸贴片,并使用质子泵抑制剂奥美拉唑进行保守治疗。
总之,局部使用NSAID贴片不当可能是消化性溃疡出血的一个原因。对于报告胃溃疡反复出血的患者,应进行询问,特别是关于可能包括局部NSAID贴片在内的非处方药的使用情况。
