How to protect the stomach and intestines during long-term use of Aspicam for fibromatosis?

Aspicam (meloxicam) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that can cause irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, and in prolonged use the risk of ulcers or bleeding.

To protect the digestive tract, it is recommended to take the drug with a meal, avoiding alcohol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time. Your doctor may also prescribe stomach protective medications, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). As a pharmacist, within my competence, I can suggest over-the-counter remedies, e.g.

It is important to observe symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract (e.g. abdominal pain, nausea, tarry stools) and see a doctor immediately if they occur. Regular medical check-ups are indicated for long-term therapy with Aspicam.
