What medications are effective for treating malignant gastric ulcers?
Patients with malignant gastric ulcers can be treated with medications that inhibit gastric acid secretion, protect the gastric mucosa, and antibiotics. It is recommended to use these medications under the guidance of a physician to avoid self-medication.
1. Proton Pump Inhibitors: Such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules, Pantoprazole Sodium Enteric-coated Tablets, etc. These medications specifically act on the hydrogen-potassium ATPase of gastric mucosal parietal cells, thereby inhibiting gastric acid secretion.
2. H2 Receptor Antagonists: Such as Famotidine Tablets, Ranitidine Hydrochloride Capsules, etc. These medications inhibit gastric acid secretion by binding to H2 receptors on gastric parietal cells, but their acid suppression effect is weaker than proton pump inhibitors.
These include Colloidal Bismuth Pectin Capsules, Potassium Bismuth Citrate Granules, etc. These medications form a film in the stomach, covering the surface of the gastric mucosa, to prevent gastric acid from stimulating and damaging the gastric mucosa.
If malignant gastric ulcers are accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotics such as Amoxicillin Capsules, Clarithromycin Dispersible Tablets, Levofloxacin Tablets, etc., should be taken as prescribed for antibacterial treatment.
In addition to the above common medications, traditional Chinese medicines can also be selected to assist in relieving symptoms, such as Kangfuxin Liquid, Xiangsha Yangwei Pills, etc.
For patients with malignant gastric ulcers, it is essential to develop good eating habits in daily life, focus on light meals, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and greasy foods to prevent worsening of the condition.
