Does WorksafeNB cover GI cytoprotective agents?
The literature suggests that the greatest risk for NSAID-induced GI bleeding is within the first two weeks in persons with a high-risk profile. The Medical Letter suggests that proton pump inhibitors are the best agents at preventing GI bleeding; and that newer ones are not more efficacious than omeprazole. The default formularies contact omeprazole. If there is evidence that this is not effective for your patient, the Medical Advisor may authorize a different cytoprotectant.
