The treatment medications for stomach spasms mainly include antispasmodic and analgesic drugs, and drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion. 1. Antispasmodic and analgesic drugs: Such as Belladonna tablets, Racemic Scopolamine tablets, etc. These medications can relieve smooth muscle spasms and effectively alleviate pain symptoms. 2. Drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion: Such as Omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, Rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated capsules, etc. They can inhibit gastric acid secretion, reduce the irritation of gastric acid on the gastric mucosa, thereby relieving the discomfort of stomach spasms. In addition, for stomach spasms caused by chronic gastritis, eradication therapy might also be required, such as using a quadruple regimen (including Omeprazole enteric-coated capsules, Metronidazole tablets, Amoxicillin capsules, Colloidal Bismuth Pectin capsules, etc.). However, please note that consultation with a doctor and following medical advice are necessary before using any medication.
