There are many kinds of medicines for treating stomachache. Proton pump inhibitors are effective and commonly used, but they can not be used for a long time, which may stimulate the growth of gastric polyps, lead to the proliferation of endocrine cells in the gastric fundus, and even lead to gastric cancer. Long-term use may also affect the absorption of calcium and even aggravate osteoporosis in the elderly. Therefore, it is necessary to take drugs regularly under the guidance of a doctor in order to achieve good curative effect and avoid unnecessary side effects. Drugs for stomachache can be divided into the following categories:

1. antacids: antacids have a good effect on stomachache. Antacids can be divided into two categories. One is proton pump inhibitors, that is, lazole drugs, including omeprazole, rabeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole and so on. The other is H2 receptor antagonists, including famotidine and ranitidine. Comparatively speaking, proton pump inhibitors are superior to H2 receptor blockers.

2. Gastric mucosal protective agents: including teprenone, gefarnate, bismuth, etc. The gastric mucosal protective agent promotes the secretion of protective mucus in the stomach, and also promotes the local blood flow in the stomach to help repair it. Compared with acid inhibitors, especially proton pump inhibitors, the effect is worse, and more drugs are combined and assisted to promote the healing of ulcers or erosion faster;

3, antacid: that is, drugs that neutralize gastric acid, such as aluminum magnesium carbonate, carbonic acid can neutralize gastric acid and thus play a role. This medicine takes effect quickly, and it takes effect quickly after neutralizing gastric acid, but it is not effective in treating ulcer erosion alone.

4, prokinetic drugs: mainly used to treat swelling pain caused by abnormal gastric peristalsis, for colic, prokinetic drugs are not suitable, mainly for fullness pain after meals, you can give prokinetic drugs, such as domperidone, mosapride and so on.
