Omeprazole Compared with Misoprostol for Ulcers Associated with Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs

Abstract

The overall rates of successful treatment of ulcers, erosions, and symptoms associated with NSAIDs were similar for the two doses of omeprazole and misoprostol. Maintenance therapy with omeprazole was associated with a lower rate of relapse than misoprostol. Omeprazole was better tolerated than misoprostol.
