Can Famotidine Treat Stomach Ulcers?
Famotidine generally refers to Famotidine tablets. Normally, Famotidine tablets can be used to treat gastric ulcer.
Applicable Conditions:
Famotidine tablets are a drug that inhibits gastric acid secretion and is often used to treat discomfort caused by diseases such as peptic ulcer and stress ulcer, such as upper abdominal pain and belching. If patients have the above conditions and are accompanied by gastric mucosal erosion, they can use this medication under the guidance of a doctor to achieve hemostasis.
Not Applicable Conditions:
1. Superficial gastritis: Due to the irritation of the gastric mucosa by inflammation, there may be symptoms such as middle and upper abdominal pain and nausea. If it is mild superficial gastritis without obvious discomfort, it can be alleviated by changing the diet, such as eating fresh fruits and vegetables, avoiding spicy and greasy foods, and resting and maintaining a pleasant mood. For severe cases, it is recommended to take medication such as Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules and Sucralfate Suspension Gel under the doctor's advice.
2. Chronic atrophic gastritis: It is usually caused by Helicobacter pylori infection and clinically manifests as symptoms such as anorexia and fatigue. At this time, it is recommended that patients promptly go to a formal hospital for diagnosis and treatment after determining the cause through breath test and fecal antigen detection. For Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotics such as Amoxicillin Capsules and Levofloxacin Hydrochloride Capsules can be taken under the doctor's advice, combined with quadruple therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori. In daily life, pay attention to reasonable diet, eat light and digestible foods such as millet porridge and pumpkin porridge, and avoid spicy and greasy foods such as chili and fried chicken.
In addition, diseases such as duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer can also lead to the above situations. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying the condition.
