Non-steroid antirheumatics are among the most frequently prescribed drugs in surgeries of doctors of different disciplines. In addition to positive effects (antiphlogistic, antipyretic, analgesic) steroid antirheumatics have also undesirable effects, in particular gastrotoxicity. Attention is drawn to possible prevention of gastropathy during treatment with non-steroid antirheumatic drugs

Key words:
