Here in Oz you can get get OTC acetaminophen, aspirin and ibuprofen with codeine --they all work better on pain than what you can get OTC in the USA.

By the way, most stomach ulcers are not caused by NSAIDS, most ulcers are actually caused by bacterial infection --this was only recently discovered and has been a sea change in the way ulcers have been treated. Now antibiotics are the main treatment for stomach ulcer.

" By the way, most stomach ulcers are not caused by NSAIDS"

Your information is only partly correct.

NSAIDs can certainly cause stomach ulcers all by themselves. There's lots of valid data on how NSAIDs destroy the lining of the stomach.

But most all commonly occuring stomach ulcers (outside of heavy NSAID users) are caused by Helicobactor pylori infection.
