2. Drugs for acid-related disorders - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drugs_for_acid-related...

   The H 2 receptor antagonists are a class of drugs used to block the action of histamine on parietal cells in the stomach, decreasing the production of acid by these cells. H 2 antagonists are used in the treatment of dyspepsia, although they have been surpassed in popularity by the more effective [1] proton pump inhibitors.

3. Anti-ulcer agents - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-ulcer_agents

   An anti-ulcer medication for treating mouth ulcer is triamcinolone, a corticosteroid. Other anti-ulcer supplements include vitamin B2 and vitamin B12 . Antibiotics and agents to reduce gastric acid secretion are used in combinations to treat Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori )-induced peptic ulcer disease (PUD), an ulceration in the gastric region.

4. Vonoprazan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vonoprazan

   Vonoprazan, sold under the brand name Voquezna among others, is a first-in-class potassium-competitive acid blocker medication. [2] [1] Vonoprazan is used in form of the fumarate for the treatment of gastroduodenal ulcer (including some drug-induced peptic ulcers) and reflux esophagitis, and can be combined with antibiotics for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori.

   Cimetidine was the prototypical histamine H 2 receptor antagonist from which later drugs were developed. Cimetidine was the culmination of a project at Smith, Kline & French (SK&F; now GlaxoSmithKline) by James W. Black, C. Robin Ganellin, and others to develop a histamine receptor antagonist that would suppress stomach acid secretion.

6. Zastaprazan - Wikipedia

   Zastaprazan (trade name Jaqbo) is a pharmaceutical drug for gastrointestinal disorders.It is classified as a potassium-competitive acid blocker. [1] [2] In April 2024, it was approved for use in South Korea for the treatment of erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). [3]

7. Discovery and development of proton pump inhibitors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_and_development...

   Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) block the gastric hydrogen potassium ATPase (H + /K + ATPase) and inhibit gastric acid secretion. These drugs have emerged as the treatment of choice for acid-related diseases, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease. PPIs also can bind to other types of proton pumps such as those ...

8. Pirenzepine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirenzepine

   Pirenzepine (Gastrozepin), an M 1 selective antagonist, is used in the treatment of peptic ulcers, as it reduces gastric acid secretion and reduces muscle spasm.It is in a class of drugs known as muscarinic receptor antagonists; acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system which initiates the rest-and-digest state (as opposed to fight-or-flight), resulting in an ...

9. Ilaprazole - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilaprazole

   Ilaprazole (trade name Noltec) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD/GERD) [1] and duodenal ulcer. [2] [3] It is available in strengths of 5, 10, and 20 mg.
