NSAID for back pain
I am having moderate lower back pain issues for the past 1 month since I fell down from bike.
Doctor advised me to take certain medications it contains Neproxen 500mg and ppi also for 10 days.
My concern is I am a patient of chronic indigestion and acidity.
Shall I use NSAID with ppi.
Will it cause any further gastric issue?

You can take double dose of PPI before meal for 5 days and instead of naproxen you should take Tab Etoricoxib with muscle relaxant (tab. Etrorlib MR ) 60mg twice a day for 5 days

If you take it after or with meals, the gastric irritation will decrease,also take it for only a short period as NSAIDS taken for long time can have renal toxicity effects.

Naproxen can increase acidity/gastritis symptoms.
Taking it with PPI and after food usually protects the stomach for short use.
Stop if severe burning, stomach pain or black stools happen.
You can consult me for proper treatment.
