Preventing Recurrent Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients withHelicobacter pyloriInfection Who Are Taking Low-Dose Aspirin or Naproxen

Abstract: Among patients with H. pylori infection and a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding who are taking low-dose aspirin, the eradication of H. pylori is equivalent to treatment with omeprazole in preventing recurrent bleeding. Omeprazole is superior to the eradication of H. pylori in preventing recurrent bleeding in patients who are taking other NSAIDs.

“…In addition, studies conducted in Hong Kong and the US have revealed that both H pylori eradication [3] and PPI treatment [4] are useful in preventing the recurrence of hemorrhagic peptic ulcers induced by low-dose aspirin. In Japan, however, the administration of PPIs, H2RAs and prostaglandins for the prevention of peptic ulcers induced by NSAIDs and low-dose aspirin is not covered by medical insurance, although the use of these drugs for the treatment of peptic ulcers is covered.…”
