A member asked:
How many days/weeks would a person typically take an acid reducer to treat an ulcer caused by nsaids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Since it depends on how fast your ulcer is healing. I would estimate that 4 weeks are likely the minimum and you may likely need something more potent (PPI?)
