Antiulcerogenic
Antiulcerogenic medicines are used to treat and prevent the formation of ulcers in the digestive tract. They work by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, which helps to reduce the irritation to the stomach lining. This can help to relieve symptoms such as heartburn and indigestion. These medicines can also help to promote the healing of existing ulcers. Some common antiulcerogenic medicines include proton pump inhibitors, H2 receptor antagonists and antacids. These medicines can be taken orally or as an injection.
