What Causes Coffee Grounds In The Stools?
I ve read in prescription cautions regarding side effects, a reference to stool with something that looks like coffee grounds. I am having a reaction to something which I cannot identify. My symptoms include coffee grounds debris and itching/hives. I take numerous prescription drugs for heart issues and arthritis and cannot determine the culprit. Can you tell me what drugs might bear the coffee grounds precaution?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The coffee grounds refer to the appearance of blood in vomit. Blood may have an obvious appearance or may appear like coffee ground material.
This may have been noted as a side effect of medications such as anticoagulants or some pain killers.
The anti inflammatory pain killers are associated with the risk of gastritis and potential bleeding. This includes medications such as ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen, cataflam, ketofen
I hope this helps
