Which medication class requires a medication guide to be dispensed with each prescription due to the increased risk of stomach ulcers?

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are indeed the medication class that requires a medication guide with each prescription. This is primarily due to the increased risk these medications pose for adverse effects, particularly gastrointestinal complications such as stomach ulcers and bleeding. The potential for these serious side effects is significant enough that regulatory agencies have mandated that patients receive clear and comprehensive information to help them understand the risks associated with NSAID usage.

The medication guide typically includes information on the proper use of NSAIDs, the risks of gastrointestinal bleeding, signs and symptoms to watch for, and guidance on when to seek medical help. By ensuring patients are well-informed, the goal is to promote safer use of these medications and reduce the incidence of serious complications.

Other medication classes, while they may have their own specific requirements and risks, do not necessitate a medication guide for the purpose of informing patients about the risk of stomach ulcers specifically.
