ABSTRACT
Well-known adverse effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the gastrointestinal mucosa and their common use are associated with an increased risk of toxicity. The influence of mentioned drugs on the mucosal membrane of the stomach and duodenum is relatively widely known. The paper reviews the intestinal side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
