Medicines for stomach pain:

1. Drugs for neutralizing gastric acid: There are mainly three types: Ledewei, Lizhudele and Dile. After entering the human body, it can neutralize stomach acid and form a protective film in the stomach and intestines, which can promote mucosal regeneration and natural healing of tissues. It is used for patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastritis and excessive gastric acid. After taking it for about 3 months, symptoms can be significantly improved or cured.

2. Mucosal protection type: mainly includes Weibizhi and Weigaining. Weibizhi not only has an antacid effect, but also can form a protective film on the mucosal surface to reduce the invasion of harmful substances on the ulcer surface. In addition, it can regulate gastrointestinal bloating and improve constipation. Stimulate appetite and improve digestion.

It is effective for ulcers, gastritis, excessive stomach acid, gastrointestinal spasm and nervous indigestion. The best effect is if you chew it up and take it after a meal, for 2 to 3 months. In order to consolidate the therapeutic effect and reduce recurrence, it is generally better to continue taking the maintenance dose (1-2 tablets per day) for 2 to 3 months after the end of the treatment.

3. Gastrokinetic drugs: mainly metoclopramide tablets, which are often used for indigestion caused by slowed gastric emptying, gastroesophageal reflux, esophagitis, as well as functional, infectious, gastrointestinal discomfort, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea caused by radiotherapy or drug treatment, organic, etc. However, it should be noted that this drug and belladonna drugs have opposite effects on the stomach and the two drugs should never be used together.

In addition, Weixian U and Lijia Le have the functions of the above two or three types of drugs. The former can neutralize gastric acid and resist ulcer disease, while the latter can enhance digestion, reduce acid and strengthen the stomach. There is also Sanjiu Weitai, a traditional Chinese medicine preparation that is mainly used to treat superficial gastritis, erosive gastritis and atrophic gastritis. It is effective for unexplained stomach diseases, indigestion and excessive gastric acid.

When taking stomach medicine, be careful not to abuse the medication, and abusing painkillers is a common occurrence. This situation causes the most serious damage to the gastrointestinal tract. This is mainly because painkillers will inhibit the production of prostaglandins in the body, causing the gastric mucosa to lose protection. The acidic digestive juices in the stomach take the opportunity to invade the stomach wall, causing ulcers, erosions, and even gastric perforation. Moreover, painkillers can directly erode the gastric mucosa in the acidic environment of the stomach, destroying the lipoprotein layer of the gastric mucosal epithelial cells and damaging the gastric mucosal barrier, resulting in gastritis or peptic ulcers. Therefore, if the patient already suffers from stomach problems, continuing to take painkillers will only make the situation worse.
