Antibiotics, commonly amoxycillin, tetracycline, metronidazole and clarithromycin, are presently used in combination with anti-ulcer agents such as omeprazole, colloidal bismuth subcitrate, and sucralfate to treat Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with peptic ulcer, and compelling evidence has accumulated that eradication of the organism prevents duodenal ulcer relapse. The latest combi...

Peptic ulcer disease affects between 5 percent and 10 percent of Americans during their lifetime. There are a variety of predisposing factors, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, Helicobacter pylori infection, tobacco use and, possibly, certain dietary practices. While H2-receptor antagonists remain the mainstay of therapy, the selection of an antiulcer drug should be ind...

Anti ulcer activity of root, stem and leave of Murrya koenigii (Linn.) Spreng was studied against ethanol, hydrochloric acid, indomethacin, stress and pyloric ligation induced gastric ulceration in albino rats. Significant antiulcer activity was observed in root, stem as well as leave of MurryaKoenigii (Linn.) Spreng in all the gastric ulcer models studied. Maximum anti ulcer activity was found...

P a t i e n t s 102 patients who required long-term regular NSAID treatment, had a positive result for H. pylori on a urea breath test, and had moderate dyspepsia or a history of endoscopically confirmed peptic ulcers. Exclusion criteria were exposure to NSAIDs (except for aspirin, ≤ 325 mg/d) for > 1 month within the previous 8 weeks; concomitant treatment with steroids, anticoagulants, or ant...

BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend that patients at risk for ulcer disease who require treatment for arthritis receive nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that are selective for cyclooxygenase-2 or the combination of a nonselective NSAID with a proton-pump inhibitor. We assessed whether celecoxib would be similar to diclofenac plus omeprazole in reducing the risk of recurrent ulce...
