We should NEVER be taking any NSAIDs without some kind of protectant like Carafate.
It would seem to me that this is the sort of information that the doctor should be giving you. I was never told about this. Due to the fact I am in England right now I do not have my book on hand which they give you.. but on return I am going to look through that to see if by chance I missed it. I dont see where I could have but I will look. If I dont see it.. this is something I will for sure be pointing out as that is something I would of avoided all together, natually. Thank you for the information.. this is why its so important for us all to share and help others.
