Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Medications for treating chronic gastritis mainly fall into the following categories:
1. Proton pump inhibitors: such as Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, etc., which effectively reduce gastric acid secretion and offer protective effects on the gastric mucosa. They are suitable for symptoms caused by excessive gastric acid.
2. H2 receptor antagonists: such as Ranitidine, Famotidine, etc., which can also reduce gastric acid secretion. They are suitable for mild symptoms or as maintenance therapy.
3. Gastric mucosal protectants: such as Hydrotalcite Chewable Tablets, Sucralfate, etc., which can cover the damaged gastric mucosal surface, forming a protective layer that reduces inflammatory reactions and relieves nausea.
4. Prokinetic agents: such as Domperidone, Metoclopramide, etc., used to improve gastrointestinal motility and alleviate symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
5. Antibiotics: Chronic gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori infection can be treated with eradication therapy using antibiotics such as Amoxicillin capsules, Clarithromycin, etc.
6. Other adjunctive medications: such as Compound Digestive Enzyme Capsules, Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets, etc., which help improve gastric digestive function and relieve nausea and bloating.
