What drugs are most often prescribed for a stomach ulcer?
One of the most effective and often prescribed drugs for the treatment of peptic ulcer is De-nol. The main active substance is bismuth subcitrate. The advantage of this tool is to stimulate the effects of antibiotics and improve their effect on the treatment of pathological formations in the stomach cavity. The medicine has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is used for several weeks, and only on the recommendation of the gastroenterologist.
One of the most effective drugs for gastric ulcer, which are used to restore the balance of gastric juice, are PPI( proton pump inhibitors).Their action enhances the effect of antibiotics. The main purpose is to suppress the production of hydrochloric acid. With gastric ulcer, the drugs of the PPI group are used on the recommendation of the doctor and according to the treatment protocol of the disease. Long-term use of these drugs can lead to the onset of atrophic gastritis. This is extremely undesirable, because it is fraught with the risk of manifestations of oncological diseases of the digestive tract.
