Are there other medications?

You can use several other medications to help treat ulcers. Two types of drugs (H2 blockers and inhibitors of proton pump) reduce the amount of acid the stomach produces. Usually help people start to feel better within 3 days.

Antacids neutralize acid that the stomach produces. A medicine called sucralfate coats the ulcer to protect it from the acid so it has time to heal.

Another medication, misoprostol, reduces the amount of acid and protects the stomach lining. Usually used to prevent gastric ulcers in stomach who need to take anti-inflammatory drugs and had stomach irritation or ulcers in the past
