NSAIDs may increase the risk of bleeding in patients with Dengue fever [108] For this reason, NSAIDs are only available with a prescription in India. [109] In very rare cases, ibuprofen can cause aseptic meningitis. [110] As with other drugs, allergies to NSAIDs might exist. While many allergies are specific to one NSAID, up to 1 in 5 people ...
Ibuprofen is a weaker anti-inflammatory agent than other NSAIDs. [10] Ibuprofen was discovered in 1961 by Stewart Adams and John Nicholson [12] while working at Boots UK Limited and initially marketed as Brufen. [13] It is available under a number of brand names including Advil, Motrin, and Nurofen.
A decrease in antiplatelet effect would reduce the risk of bleeding, but increase the thromboembolic risk. [3] Drug toxicity may increase when multiple antiplatelet drugs are used. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a common adverse event seen in many patients.
In those at high risk both interventions are often used. [1] The treatments to prevent the formation of blood clots is balanced against the risk of bleeding. [5] One of the goals of blood clot prevention is to limit venous stasis as this is a significant risk factor for forming blood clots in the deep veins of the legs. [6]
Rockall risk scoring system attempts to identify patients at risk of adverse outcome following acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Rockall et al. identified independent risk factors [1] in 1996 which were later shown to predict mortality accurately. The scoring system uses clinical criteria (increasing age, co-morbidity, shock) as well as ...

Upper gastrointestinal bleeding affects around 50 to 150 people per 100,000 a year. It represents over 50% of cases of gastrointestinal bleeding. [2] A 1995 UK study found an estimated mortality risk of 11% in those admitted to hospital for gastrointestinal bleeding. [3]
A drug nomogram developed in 1975, called the Rumack–Matthew nomogram, estimates the risk of toxicity based on the serum concentration of paracetamol at a given number of hours after ingestion. [10] To determine the risk of potential hepatotoxicity, the paracetamol level is traced along the nomogram.
