The 22 pages that link to Peptic ulcer disease, each with the reason it gives.

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugRelated: Reduced protective prostaglandins can make ulcers more likely or worsen them.

• AspirinRelated: Aspirin can promote ulceration by reducing protective prostaglandin production in the stomach.

• Proton pump inhibitorRelated: Reducing acid supports ulcer healing, alongside treatment of the underlying cause.

• Gastrointestinal bleedingRelated: Ulcers are a frequent cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

• FamotidineRelated: Reducing acid can support healing of ulcers alongside treatment of their underlying cause.

• PepsinRelated: Pepsin can contribute to mucosal injury when the stomach’s protective barriers are impaired.

• Helicobacter pylori eradicationRelated: Eradicating H. pylori helps heal infection-associated ulcers and reduces their recurrence.

• OmeprazoleRelated: Acid suppression helps ulcers heal and is often combined with treatment of their underlying cause.

• CimetidineRelated: Cimetidine was used to promote healing by reducing acid exposure.

• James BlackRelated: Cimetidine helped treat ulcers by suppressing gastric acid secretion.

• Barry MarshallRelated: His discovery overturned the belief that ulcers mainly resulted from stress or excess acid.

• LansoprazoleRelated: Acid suppression helps ulcers heal, though treatment also addresses the underlying cause.

• PantoprazoleRelated: Acid suppression supports ulcer healing and can accompany cause-directed treatment.

• EsomeprazoleRelated: Acid suppression supports ulcer healing, usually alongside treatment of the underlying cause.

• RanitidineRelated: Reducing acid helped ulcers heal and relieved ulcer-related symptoms.

• IndometacinRelated: Existing ulcers increase concern because indometacin can worsen mucosal injury and bleeding.

• PiroxicamRelated: Piroxicam can cause or worsen ulcers through reduced protective prostaglandin production.
