Dr. Zhang Mingping
Gastric ulcers are primarily caused by excessive gastric acid secretion. Appropriate use of acid-suppressing medications—such as omeprazole or chewable hydrotalcite tablets—can effectively protect the gastric mucosa. Patients should take these medications only as directed by a physician. Since gastric ulcer development is closely associated with unhealthy lifestyle and dietary habits, patients must also make corresponding dietary improvements.
