What Is a Stomach Ulcer?
10. Treatment
Medication is available that can help to treat stomach ulcers, but their effectiveness will vary from person to person. One of the first steps is to make sure the patient stops taking certain medication, or at least reduce how much they do take. The patient may also need to aid treatment by making certain lifestyle changes.
In most cases, antibiotics will be provided to help remove H. pylori from the system. A combination of antibiotics will often be used to help ensure the treatment is effective. Medication can also be prescribed that will help to limit acid production. Antacids can be effective at helping to ease the symptoms, but these are only a short term solution.
