Drug Category

A peptic ulcer, also known as peptic ulcer disease (PUD),[1] is the most common ulcer of an area of the gastrointestinal tract that is usually acidic and thus extremely painful. It is defined as mucosal erosions equal to or greater than 0.5cm. As many as 70–90% of such ulcers are associated with Helicobacter pylori, a helical-shaped bacterium that lives in the acidic environment of the stomach; however, only 40% of those cases go to a doctor.

HOW LONG pentocid tablet shoud be tacken to treat peptic ulcer and gastritis . ## It really depends on their severity, if they are very bad, such as if both are far enough along that they are bleeding and causing severe pain regularly, it may take 3 to 4 months for them to heal. However, in addition to the medication, you also need to make sure to be careful with your diet. You'll need to avoid anything very spicy or acidic for awhile, including coffee and tea.
