I was taking Daypro for low back and shoulder injuries, could it cause lower GI inflammation?
I am a 44-year-old male, my internist ordered a endoscopy and the results were inflammation of the colon. I see an irritable bowel gasterointestinal physician in a week. I am overall in excellent health, except for this. • A: Daypro (oxaprozin) is a medication known as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID).

According to the prescribing information, NSAIDs, including Daypro, may cause serious gastrointestinal side effects in the stomach, small intestine, or large intestine. These side effects may include inflammation, bleeding and ulceration. This is not a complete list of the side effects associated with Daypro.
