Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs)

PPIs are a class of medications that work by stopping your stomach from producing ulcer-causing acid. When taken with an NSAID, PPIs reduce the risk of developing ulcers and promote ulcer healing. For the best effects, it should be taken 30 minutes before breakfast.

Misoprostol

Misoprostol replaces a naturally occurring substance that helps maintain the stomach’s protective mucous lining. It is one of the ingredients in some combination tablets used for arthritis pain. Misoprostol is used to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers in patients taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
