Is Aspirin And Mefenamic Acid Tablets With Alcohol Contraindicated?
I understand that alcohol abuse can cause acute gastritis, but i am concerned that just a couple of asprin or mefenamid acid tablets ontop of the alcohol can make this more serious? or is this only after many many tablets? does the tablets and the alcohol cause seperate complications in the stomach?

yeah, aspirin and aspirin like drugs will make the risk of gastritis from alcohol much more likely. Aspirin stimulates acid and is a solvent for the lining. Aspirin can literally burn and prevents the production of protective lining of the stomach. They work diffferently and all predispose to ulcer.
