Abstract

It is obvious that despite the fact that no data prove the ulcerogenity of steroids and most modern textbooks and articles do not consider these drugs ulcerogenic, there is still a myth of the ulcerogenity of steroids in the minds of Czech doctors and students. This has undoubtedly not only important economic consequences when prescribing concomitant antisecretory prophylaxis.
