B
Histamine2 (H2) antagonists are used to reduce volume and concentration of gastric secretions. Antacids are used to buffer stomach acid and raise gastric ph. Gastric mucosal agents forms an ulcer-adherent complex with proteinaceous exudate. It covers the ulcer and protects against acid, pepsin, and bile salts. Gastric proton pump inhibitors inactivate acid or hydrogen acid pump, blocking secretion of hydrochloric acid by gastric parietal cells.
