What Chinese patent medicine is good for chronic gastritis?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Patients with gastritis may be treated with medications such as gastric mucosal protectants, drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion, and prokinetic agents. For acute gastritis, cimetidine is commonly used to suppress gastric acid secretion and hydrotalcite to protect the gastric mucosa. In addition to these medications, chronic gastritis may also be treated with domperidone to relieve symptoms such as bloating caused by gastrointestinal motility disorders. For Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis, treatment typically includes a combination of omeprazole, two antibiotics (such as clarithromycin), and a bismuth agent like colloidal bismuth pectin. Traditional Chinese medicines commonly used include Xiangsha Yangwei Granules and Compound Chenxiang Gastric Tablets, which help warm the stomach, regulate its function, and relieve discomfort.
