Brief Answer: You shoukd consider some alternative Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. It appears that your wife is not tolerating the medicine and that is causing gastritis. It may happen with any medicine. If she is not tolerating then the other option is taking an anti acid with these medicines such as ranitidine or pantoprazole. However the better option would be to start an alternative drug like cetrizine which will take care of the cold and taking it with paracetamol for fever and body aches separately. Let her not take these medicines in empty stomach. No need to panic. It is reversible and the symptoms can be controlled. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
