Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) are known to cause gastrointestinal (GI) side effects such as irritation, ulceration, and bleeding due to their mechanism of action, which involves inhibiting the COX enzymes and thus reducing prostaglandins that protect the stomach lining.
