Hello, I am suffering from stomach ulcer for three years now. Main problem is the pain that cannot be subdued. Since I have this condition, I have lost 15 kilos, because I have lost my appetite. I have been using Axid and I need to know what other H2 blockers are available? I guess I just need some more options
Those are blockers of histamine H2 receptors in the mucus of stomach walls. Stimulation of those receptors causes the secretion of HCL acid. Increasing of gastric secretion is caused by histamine, food, gastrin, insulin, caffeine Beside Axid, there are Cimetidine, Ranitidine, Famotidine But all these have the same basic mechanism.
