Abstract
In 20 patients suffering from osteoarthritis and treated with non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for one month sucralfate has been added for further two months. Endoscopic examination before/after this treatment confirmed the cytoprotective property of sucralfate, with normalization of the gastric mucosa and subsidence of subjective symptomatology.
