My stomach hurts? Choose a medicine for the stomach right!

Problems with the gastrointestinal tract are now present in the majority of the population. Therefore, to hear in the pharmacy appeal to the pharmacist: "Help pick up medicines for the stomach!" - Can not once within an hour. Indeed, how to choose the right drugs for gastroduodenic problems?

Preparations for the treatment of gastrointestinal problems

• analgesics;

• preparations-sorbents;

• funds leading to a decrease in gastric secretion;

• funds that increase the secretory function of the stomach ;

• antibacterial drugs;

• non-steroidal anti-inflammatory;

• enzymes;

• antispasmodics.

From this list of drugs are selected specific medications for the stomach, depending on the individual course of the disease. Do this need not yourself, but in common with the doctor (therapist or gastroenterologist)!

Medicines needed to treat gastritis

With gastritis, there is an inflammatory process in the mucous membrane of the stomach, with duodenitis - in the mucous membrane of the duodenum. Most often it is accompanied by pain (during an acute process or exacerbation of a chronic disease), discomfort, unpleasant eructations, nausea or vomiting, as well as bloating and decreased appetite.

It is these symptoms that are called to remove medications for stomach gastritis.

• The drug "Almagel A" reduces the acidity of the gastric juice and protects the inflamed mucosa from further damage.
• The "Almagel Neo" plus to this helps to reduce gas generation .
• The medicine "Vikair" is also an antacid agent that is able to envelop the mucous membrane and remove the signs of the inflammatory process.
• In a similar scenario, such drugs as Ranitidine, Maalox, Gastricidum, Alumag, Gastrofarm, and Omeprazol are also active.

All these drugs for the stomach are taken with increased or normal acidity of the gastric juice. They relieve pain and affect the cause of gastritis. If there is a state of reduced acidity of gastric juice (which happens much less often), then it is recommended to take Levokarnitin and Metoclopramide.

Treatment of gastric ulcers by medication

Gastric ulcer is a formidable disease that necessarily requires control and treatment of medications. In this case, there is a serious risk of perforation of the stomach wall (thinning and rupture) with subsequent peritonitis and sepsis. Therefore, it is by no means impossible to run or treat a ulcer only by folk methods!

So, if the diagnosis of "stomach ulcer" is diagnosed, what medicines can be used?

Since one of the main causes of the pathogenesis of the ulcer is the presence of Helicobacter pylori, then one of the groups of drugs is a means that counteracts the bacteria. This includes drugs "Oxacillin", "Furazolidon."

The second group of drugs are substances that regulate acidity. It is the high acidity of the gastric juice that causes not only a feeling of heartburn, but also acts detrimental, literally eroding the tissues. Therefore, the struggle for normal acidity is a very important stage. High acidity can regulate preparations "Roksatidin", "Omeprazol" or "Maalox." In the same way, the means "Gastal", "Fosfalugel", "Almagel" operate.

The next group is prokinetics. Under the influence of these substances, the processing of food eaten in the gastrointestinal tract is accelerated. With their own help, the elimination of undigested residues is accelerated from the body. Prokinetics is also prescribed for severe vomiting and an uncontrollable feeling of nausea. Preparations-prokinetics: Motilium, Ghanaaton, and Coordinas.

And the last group of drugs, important for the treatment of stomach ulcers - antispasmodics. What are these drugs for? Spasmolytics are able to relax the smooth muscles and thereby remove the most heavily tolerated symptom, namely, attacks of acute or severe pulling pain. Perhaps the most famous of this group is the drug No-shpa. There is also a domestic analogue - the drug "Drotaverin", which has the same effect, but is substantially cheaper. Still from spasmolytics it is possible to use preparations "Papaverin", "Bendazolum", "Benziklan".

In addition to these major groups, other medications are used to treat gastric ulcers. They are appointed by the doctor with individual need. This can be a bismuth-based drug (the "Vicair" drug described above, or "Vikalin") or antibacterial drugs (amoxicillin, tetracycline, clarithromycin).

Treatment of diarrhea by medicinal methods

If this problem arises, the medicine for stomach upset is better to use not one, but several in the system of complex therapy. The first and most important point is the replenishment of the liquid that is actively lost by the body. For this drink pharmacy solutions:

• "Regidron."
• "Citroglucosolan".
• "Glucosolan".

Further, sorbents (substances for toxin withdrawal) are necessarily assigned:

• Activated carbon;
• A preparation of "Smecta";
• Means "De-nol" or "Vente";
• kaolin.

Then, drugs that reduce gastric secretion (we spoke about them above) and enzymes come into action. About enzymes need to be said separately, because after diarrhea caused by a disorder of the stomach and intestines, the suction function without support is difficult to recover. Therefore, medications "Mezim-forte", "Pancreatin", "Pancitrat" are prescribed.

Medications for the stomach, used for specific single problems

It should be noted several groups of drugs that are not included in the lists above. This is a medicine for the stomach, which is used for problems in a narrower sphere. For example, pregnant women with symptoms of severe toxicosis, manifested by vomiting, prescribe the drug "Cerucal". And thoracic children with colic problems - "Simplex" and "Plantex" means.
