How long is drug-induced gastritis?

summary

Many patients with gastrointestinal diseases are troubled by such a problem, because this disease often has complications. When I explain the use of drugs to gastrointestinal patients, I will not only tell them whether they need to drink more water, but also clearly tell them when to take each type of gastric drugs to achieve the best efficacy, while minimizing the damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Now let's learn about drug-induced gastritis? It's a matter of time.

How long is drug-induced gastritis?

First: antacids are mainly used to neutralize the excess gastric acid produced in our stomach. Generally 1-1.5 hours after meals. Because the length of time these drugs stay in the stomach is related to the rate of gastric emptying. The slower they empty, the longer they stay, the better the effect. The drug can stay in the stomach for three to four hours, and the effect is very good. Do not take it on an empty stomach, otherwise the stomach peristalsis is too fast, and the drug will rush to the small intestine in half an hour. The retention time of the drug is too short to have any effect.

Second: acid inhibitors are the most important drugs in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Small side effects is one of its advantages, and the duration of treatment is long, so it is widely used in patients with gastritis. There are often acid inhibitors, such as tinine, prazole, etc. It can be taken before and after meals, but it is recommended to take it immediately after meals in order to nourish the stomach. As for the prazole drugs, they are all proton pump inhibitors, which are easily interfered by food when absorbed. It is recommended to take them on an empty stomach, and take them as a whole. Do not take them separately.

Third: the most commonly used combination of anti Helicobacter pylori drugs is usually omeprazole and other acid inhibitors combined with amoxicillin, metronidazole and other antibiotics to deal with Helicobacter pylori. Among them, omeprazole should be taken on an empty stomach, metronidazole is suitable for taking after meals, and amoxicillin is not a big problem when to eat.

matters needing attention

Having said so much, I hope you can understand the time and method of taking stomach medicine. In fact, many of the patients I met did not have obvious efficacy, which was due to the incorrect medication time, resulting in the failure of efficacy to take effect in time. Don't underestimate these skills, hope to help the majority of gastrointestinal patients.
