11. Which of the following may be taken by someone with peptic ulcer disease?
A. Motrin
B. Naprosyn
C. Tylenol
D. Mobic
To determine which of the following medications may be taken by someone with peptic ulcer disease, we need to consider their potential effects on the ulcer. Peptic ulcer disease is a condition characterized by sores in the lining of the stomach or the first part of the small intestine.
1. Motrin (A): Motrin belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can increase the risk of developing or worsening peptic ulcers. Therefore, it is not recommended for individuals with peptic ulcer disease.
2. Naprosyn (B): Naprosyn is also an NSAID, similar to Motrin, and can have similar effects on peptic ulcers. Therefore, it is not recommended for individuals with peptic ulcer disease.
3. Tylenol (C): Tylenol, also known as acetaminophen, is not an NSAID. It works differently and does not have the same negative effects on peptic ulcers. Therefore, Tylenol may be taken by someone with peptic ulcer disease.
4. Mobic (D): Mobic is another NSAID and can potentially exacerbate peptic ulcer disease. Therefore, it is not recommended for individuals with this condition.
Based on this information, the correct answer is C. Tylenol.
