Abstract
Abstract:Aim of this study is to study the prevalence of drug induced gastritis in general population and to take measures to prevent NSAID induced Gastritis through proper counseling and education. More than 15000 rural population patients were studied prospectively during December 2015 to March 2017 who were on NSAIDS for a period of 2 years to more than 10 years. Patients on NSAID treatment for more than 2 years were included in the study. This was a prospective study undertaken in a Community Health Centre; where patients from peripheral villages come for treatment and were addicted for NSAIDS. Patients were maximum labourers dependent on analgesics to get rid of Generalized Body Ache [GBA] due to extensive labour. The combined data showed that though the percentage of patients taking NSAID was less, yet the prevalence of NSAID induced gastro deodenal damage was very high in patients who were on NSAID treatment. Judicious use of drugs specially NSAIDS is required to prevent its untoward side effects. In this study it was evident that this drug induced gastrodeodenal damage was preventable by proper indication and counseling. Keywords:Gastritis, NSAID, Generalized Body Ache, deodenal damage.
