No consensus exists as to whether cotherapy is effective in the short-term prevention of severe NSAID-related gastroduodenal damage.

Placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials on the use of misoprostol, H2-blockers, and PPIs as preventative agents published between January 1986 and May 1999 were identified through Medline and reference lists from clinical reviews.
