2. Time to take gastric medicine

1. Half an hour before meals

This time is suitable for taking medicine that protects the gastric mucosa and promotes gastric motility. The former, such as sucralfate (Weiculin) and bismuth potassium citrate (Livzon Dela), need to form a protective film directly on the surface of the gastric wall to play a barrier role, so they usually need to be taken half an hour to 1 hour before meals. Take so that food does not interfere with the medicine's contact with the stomach wall. The latter, such as domperidone (morphine), cisapride, mosapride, etc., are best taken 15-30 minutes before meals. This allows some time for the drug to be absorbed and take effect, fully exert its efficacy, and promote gastrointestinal motility. It should be noted that drugs that promote gastric motility cannot be taken at the same time as antacids. In addition, many people now take some gastric mucosal protective medicine before drinking to prevent alcohol from harming the stomach. Experts say that this approach can indeed protect the stomach to a certain extent, but it cannot offset the damage caused by alcohol to the liver and other organs.

2. Eat with meals

Gastric acid secretion will greatly increase after eating, so it is best to take acid-suppressing drugs with meals. Histamine receptor antagonists such as cimetidine and ranitidine are best taken immediately after meals; while proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole (Losec) and lansoprazole are best taken with meals. Take before taking on an empty stomach. Note that these medicines should be swallowed whole. In addition, when acid-suppressing drugs are used together with antacid drugs, the interval between doses should be no less than 1 hour.

3. 1 hour after a meal

Mainly refers to drugs that neutralize gastric acid, that is, "antacids", including sodium bicarbonate, aluminum hydroxide (Weishuping), aluminum magnesium carbonate ( Daxi) etc. They quickly neutralize stomach acid and relieve stomach discomfort. Therefore, taking it 1-1.5 hours after a meal, when gastric acid secretion reaches its peak, can maximize the neutralizing ability of the drug and maintain its effect for 3-4 hours. However, if taken immediately after a meal, the effect of the medicine will only last about 1 hour. In addition, gastric acid will continue to be secreted. If the effect of taking the medicine is not obvious, you can take the medicine once more, but do not increase the dose of each medicine. For example, take it once 1 hour and 3 hours after a meal, and once before going to bed.

Although many stomach medicines can be purchased and taken by yourself, if the effect is not good after taking the medicine, or the symptoms recur repeatedly, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment. Don't let "small stomach problems" become "big troubles."
