Peptic ulcer disease / GI bleeding history
Dental riskmoderate
PUD or prior upper GI bleed makes the patient HIGH RISK for NSAID-related ulceration/bleeding. BNF and NICE CKS both advise avoiding NSAIDs in people with active GI ulcer/bleeding and those with significant GI-bleed history. Dental takeaway: this condition mostly changes ANALGESIC CHOICE and co-medication checks, not antibiotics or local anesthetic. Core rule: acetaminophen-first; NSAIDs are RED.
