Preventing Recurrent Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients with<i>Helicobacter pylori</i>Infection Who Are Taking Low-Dose Aspirin or Naproxen

Abstract

Among patients with H. pylori infection and a history of upper gastrointestinal bleeding who are taking low-dose aspirin, the eradication of H. pylori is equivalent to treatment with omeprazole in preventing recurrent bleeding. Omeprazole is superior to the eradication of H. pylori in preventing recurrent bleeding in patients who are taking other NSAIDs.
