Aim. Presentation of the Forum “Deprescribing and optimal selection of proton pump inhibitors” held in Moscow on 29 September 2020 during the 26th United Russian Gastroenterology Week.Key points. The Forum was aimed at discussing issues associated with improving the proton pump inhibitor (PPIs) therapy in treatment and prevention of acid-related diseases and upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antiplatelet medications. Deprescribing is considered to be an effective strategy of a motivated reduction of the PPI dosage, duration of therapy and the patient’s transfer from a regular to on-demand intake regimen. The choice of PPI may condition an optimal therapy for acid-related diseases.Conclusion. PPIs prevail in therapies for acid-related diseases and NSAID-induced upper GIT lesions. PPI deprescribing should be a strategy of choice if medically indicated. A non-enzymatic metabolism, high acid suppression, stable antisecretory effect from day 1 of therapy and cytoprotective action justify the application of rabeprazole (Pariet®) for optimising therapies for acid-related diseases and implementing the deprescribing strategy.

Introduction. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most commonly used medicines in medical practice. As literary sources show, they often cause unwanted side-effects. The purpose of our work was to evaluate the frequency, clinical manifestations and morphological features of lesions of the gastroduodenal zone that arise in patients of rheumatologic, neurological profiles and angiosurgery department during the course of treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs of different groups, to trace the dependence of the frequency of manifestations of the pathology of the stomach and duodenum from simultaneous receiving two nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and their combination with glucocorticosteroids and anticoagulants. Material and methods. 73 patients who had used NSAIDs for a long time and had endoscopically confirmed medicated gastroduodenopathy. Patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the profile of the department: Group I included - 24 patients of the department of vascular surgery; Group II - 23 patients of the neurological department; Group III - 26 patients with rheumatological profile. Results. Asymptomatic clinical picture of NSAID-gastropathy was found, which did not coincide with the available endoscopic changes in the gastroduodenal tube: in 63% of cases, erosive changes in the mucous membrane were present, and stomach and duodenal ulcers were revealed in 11%. It was also found that in the group of patients receiving proton pump inhibitors, the incidence of gastroduodenopathy was reliably lower (34.2%) than in patients who did not receive them (53.4%). During this study, it was found that the use of selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can significantly reduce the probability of developing the pathology of the gastroduodenal zone, compared with non-selective. Conclusions. The course of treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be as short as possible and should be carried out with minimal but effective doses. Parallel prophylactic administration of proton pump inhibitors is appropriate in patients at high risk of developing erosions and ulcers in the background of treatment with these drugs.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most commonly prescribed classes of medications. The broad spectrum of side effects following long-term NSAID therapy includes mainly, but not only, gastrointestinal complications. Risk stratification of the gastrointestinal complications events is an important element of planning NSAIDs therapy, which allows to determine the indications for the use of proton pump inhibitors. This article presents the criteria for assessment and the method of adequate prevention of gastrointestinal side effects in patients receiving long-term NSAID therapy.
