Acid blockers may hide risks for arthritis patients
Stanford researchers report nearly half of RA patients hospitalized for serious GI bleeding had taken H2 blockers such as Zantac Tagamet or Pepcid. The study notes many patients had no prior symptoms and warns that preventive use of acid blockers can carry danger, especially for older individuals or those with prior NSAID problems. Alternatives include acetaminophen or misoprostol, though each has drawbacks, and close medical follow up is advised.
