Describe the treatment for peptic ulcers


Antibiotics are given to kill the bacteria, and cimetidine is given to inhibit the acid secretion in the stomach and thus helps to heal the ulcer. Antacids are prescribed to neutralize the excess acid. Rest and counseling help the client learn to deal with the pressure and stress that are sometimes associated with the disease.
