Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug‐induced small intestinal inflammation and blood loss. Effects of sulfasalazine and other disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs

Abstract: Objective. To identify the source of intestinal blood loss in rheumatoid arthritis patients being treated with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and assess the response to sulfasalazine and other diseasemodifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).Methods. Intestinal inflammation, blood loss, and gastroduodenal damage, and the response to treatment with DMARDs, were assessed in 46 patients taking NSAIDs.Results. Intestinal inflammation and blood loss correlated significantly with one another (r = 0.43, P … Show more

“…Misoprostol, metronidazole and sulfasalazine have all been suggested to be beneficial in treatment or prevention of NSAID-enteropathy in humans, but the studies suggesting this had significant limitations (open-label, not controlled, and/or small sample sizes) [22,24,[109][110][111] . Misoprostol, H2RA and sucralfate were found to be ineffective in reducing NSAID-induced intestinal permeability in humans [112,113] , though in one, open-label study misoprostol reduced the elevated intestinal permeability induced by indomethacin [114] .…”

“…And long-term administration of prophylactic drugs is needed for chronic users of NSAIDs or aspirin, especially patients with experience of small intestinal bleeding. Until recently, some trials showed the efficacy of metronidazole, sulfasalazine, and misoprostol for treatment of NSAID-induced injury [45][46][47]. However, in these studies, efficacy was indirectly evaluated by measuring several markers such as hemoglobin levels and fecal excretion of radiolabeled neutrophils, so their effectiveness has not yet been fully confirmed.…”

“…However, even if temporary cessation of the NSAIDs is possible, long-term cessation of NSAIDs is frequently impossible, and long-term administration of prophylactic drugs is needed for chronic users of NSAIDs or aspirin, especially patients who experience small intestinal bleeding. Some trials have shown the efficacy of metronidazole, sulfasalazine and misoprostol for treatment of NSAIDinduced injury (11)(12)(13). Clinically, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and PG analogs are the first-choice drugs for the prevention of NSAID-induced peptic ulcers and bleeding (14).…”
