The study is based on an analysis of data collected from a total of 30
patients, diagnosed with dyspepsia or dyspepsia episodes in history. The
method used was a complex questionnaire for these patients at the routine
consultation, in the family doctor's office. The results show, that most of the
patients that use treatments for other diseases, answered that they use
NSAIDs (23.3%), which is a major influence in the apparition of dyspeptic
syndrome. The studied group also has a number of patients (10%) treated
with iron for anemia.
Treatment of anemia with iron, it takes long periods of time,
depending on the severity of the deficit. During this treatment, digestive
symptoms may occur due to excess of Fe: nausea, vomiting, stomach burns,
as an expression of the erosion of the gastric mucosa. The same symptoms
can be correlated with the use of dietary supplements that contain K. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ex. aspirin, ibuprofen and its derivatives)
create lesions on the mucous membrane of the stomach by inhibiting the
enzymes responsible for its protection. Other drugs with adverse effects on
gastric mucosa: steroids, chemotherapy.
