Patient's question:
I want to know what Western medicine can be used to treat gastric antritis. My best friend is at home with stomach pain and can't even get up. She called me and asked me to buy some Western medicine for gastric antritis, but I don't know what to buy either. I can't drag my best friend to go shopping, and I'm really desperate.Doctor's answer:
Common medications for treating gastric antralitis include proton pump inhibitors, H2 receptor antagonists, gastric mucosal protectants, and prokinetic drugs, among others. Among these, proton pump inhibitors commonly used include omeprazole, lansoprazole, and pantoprazole; H2 receptor antagonists include ranitidine and famotidine; gastric mucosal protectants include sucralfate and colloidal bismuth citrate; and prokinetic drugs include domperidone and cisapride. These medications are often used in combination, but proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists cannot be taken together. It is recommended to use these medications under the guidance of a physician or pharmacist.
