There are a lot of reports on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs related gastric abnormalities in human which called ”NSAID-gastropathy”. Gastritis and gastropathy are conditions that affect the gastric mucosa. In gastritis, the stomach lining is inflamed and in gastropathy, the stomach lining is damaged, but with little or no inflammation NSAID-gastropathy is characterized by subepithelial hemorrhages, erosions, and ulcers.
