Anti-ulcer agents are medications or supplements used to cure the damage of mucosal layer on organs to prevent the damage from further extending to deeper regions to cause complications.
An anti-ulcer medication for treating mouth ulcer is triamcinolone, a corticosteroid. Other anti-ulcer supplements include vitamin B2 and vitamin B12.
Antibiotics and agents to reduce gastric acid secretion are used in combinations to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-induced peptic ulcer disease (PUD), an ulceration in the gastric region. Antibiotics include amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole. Bismuth subsalicylate is an antimicrobial agent of another drug class that can also be used to eradicate H. pylori for treating PUD. Agents for suppressing gastric acid secretion are proton-pump inhibitors (PPI), such as lansoprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole, omeprazole and esomeprazole.
