A clinico-endoscopic study has been carried out in a group of 22 patients treated with 1 g of naproxene + 2 g of rosaprostol compared in a blind situation with another group of 19 patients treated with a similar dose of naproxene + placebo in order to evaluate the cytoprotective action of rosaprostol. Analysis of the results showed a high correlation between intake of rosaprostol and low onset of algico-dyspeptic disturbances and mucosal lesions of some gravity, although the problem of the monitoring of patients undergoing long-term treatment with NSAID remains unsolved.
