What medications are prescribed for multiple gastric ulcers?
Patients with multiple gastric ulcers can be prescribed medications that inhibit gastric acid secretion, protect the gastric mucosa, and promote gastrointestinal motility. It is recommended to seek medical advice before taking any medication.
Medications to Inhibit Gastric Acid Secretion
1. H2 Receptor Blockers: Commonly used examples include Famotidine Tablets and Ranitidine Hydrochloride Capsules. These drugs bind to H2 receptors on parietal cells, thereby inhibiting gastric acid production.
2. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs): Examples include Omeprazole Enteric-coated Capsules and Lansoprazole Enteric-coated Tablets. PPIs work by inhibiting the activity of proton pumps in parietal cells, reducing gastric acid secretion and controlling the condition.
Medications to Protect the Gastric Mucosa
1. Sucralfate Suspension Gel: An antacid, this medication forms a protective film over ulcerated surfaces upon entering the stomach, preventing gastric acid from irritating the mucosa and facilitating the repair of damaged tissue.
2. Kangfuxin Solution: With its effects on improving gastrointestinal function and promoting tissue healing, this medication is often used to treat symptoms caused by gastric ulcers, such as abdominal pain and belching.
Medications to Promote Gastrointestinal Motility
In cases of indigestion, patients can take Mosapride Citrate Dispersible Tablets or Jianwei Xiaoshi Oral Liquid under medical supervision. These medications effectively enhance food digestion and absorption.
