okay my topic isn't really about h.pylori..I have ulcers..and I was just recently diagnosed with Bursitis in my left shoulder..and the Doctor gave me Ibuprofen..I know that Ibuprofen is an NSAID and people with ulcers should not take NSAID's...but the doctor knew all of that and he told me to take prilosec or zantac with the ibuprofen..my question is...should I take it or not? I am very scared about taking it...I just wanted an opinion...thank you..

hi and happy new year!!!

NO  - in short. never take anything much less nsaid drug without consulting your GI first.
pls call him and ask if it's safe. also i know there are some other drugs
that are especially for this purpose to protect the stomach (not ppi).

take care
