10 Causes of Stomach Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #4: Medication
There are a ton of medications that can cause nausea and stomach upset, and many doctors will tell you about this when you first begin taking them. However, not all doctors will warn you about the side effects of certain medications if they’re rather unlikely to occur.
That said, most drugs can cause nausea to some degree in people who are sensitive. Common drugs that cause stomach discomfort are NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofen, painkillers, muscle relaxants, and sleeping pills. Even supplements that are taken for health can cause stomach problems if they’re taken without first getting to know how you react to the ingredients.
