A member asked:

Are there any alternatives to sucralfate for ulcer treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PPIs: Proton pump inhibitors or h2 receptor antagonists. However, if you have been infected with helicobacter pylori you will need treatment for this. See you doctor or a gastroenterologist.
