Can stomach ulcer be cured by taking medication ? any answers appreciated!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stomach ulcer meds: Medications can be used to help treat stomach ulcers. They are known as proton pump inhibitors (PPI). These medications decrease the acid secretion of the stomach and given time will allow your body to heal the ulcers. Some ulcers are caused by a certain bacteria (H. pylori) and certain medications are needed to treat this.
