Excessive gastric acid can be treated with drugs such as omeprazole and bismuth pectin to inhibit gastric acid secretion and protect the gastric mucosa.
Normal people’s gastric mucosa has about 1 billion mural cells, about 22mmol of acid per hour, part of the population, the total number of mural cells is several times more than normal people, the secretion of gastric acid is also higher than normal, which can lead to excessive gastric acid, easy to lead to peptic ulcer.
When excessive gastric acid occurs or peptic ulcer is triggered, drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion can be used, such as H2 receptor antagonists (famotidine, ranitidine), which can selectively block H2 receptors on the membrane of the mural cells, resulting in a reduction of gastric acid secretion; and proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, lansoprazole), which inhibit proton pump-driven H+ secretion in the mural cells of the stomach, reducing gastric acid secretion.
In case of excessive gastric acid, some gastric mucosal protective agents, such as bismuth (bismuth pectin), weakly alkaline antacids (magnesium aluminum carbonate), etc., are also needed to protect the gastric mucosa and reduce the invasive damage of gastric acid to the gastric mucosa.
When excessive gastric acid occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and standardize the treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
