Abstract Use of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has repeatedly been shown to be associated with a raised risk of ulcer occurrence, hospitalization or complications. Available data suggest that risks may differ significantly between drugs, with diclofenac and ibuprofen appearing to have the lowest associated risks. Clinical treatment strategies should take account of such information.
