Abstract

Polypharmacy is a frequent phenomenon. For that reason, drugs side effects are increasing, including lesions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Multiple drugs can induce damage to the GI mucosa. NSAIDs are the most characteristic, however there are other drugs, that can cause a harmful effect in the digestive tract, such as iron. We present the case of a 91-year-old man with hematemesis due to iron intake.
