Gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations are common in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Virtually all patients with SLE require treatment with NSAID therapy and/or corticosteroids The ulcerogenic effects of NSAIDs and corticosteroids used in combination are synergistic and put the patient at a high risk of serious ulcer disease.
