Geranylgeranylacetone Protects against Diclofenac-Induced Gastric and Small Intestinal Mucosal Injuries in Healthy Subjects: A Prospective Randomized Placebo-Controlled Double-Blind Cross-Over Study

Abstract

Combination therapy with GGA and rabeprazole reduced the incidence of gastroenteropathy induced by 1-week administration of diclofenac. Our findings suggest this therapy as a candidate for protecting patients on long-term NSAID therapy.
