Peptic Ulcer Disease: A Brief Review of Conventional Therapy and Herbal Treatment Options

Abstract: Peptic ulcer is a chronic disease affecting up to 10% of the world’s population. The formation of peptic ulcers depends on the presence of gastric juice pH and the decrease in mucosal defenses. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection are the two major factors disrupting the mucosal resistance to injury. Conventional treatments of peptic ulcers, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonists, have demonstrated adverse effects,… Show more

“…Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is best defined as a peptic injury of the alimentary tract that occurs in the stomach or the proximal duodenum, as a secondary to the damaging effects of pepsin, active free radicals, oxidants, leukotrienes, endothelins, and stomach acid secretion. This subsequently leads to a mucosal defect reaching the submucosa or muscularis propria [1,2]. The estimated prevalence of PUD in the general population is approximately 4.1%, and 10% of people develop PUD during the course of a lifetime [3].…”

“…Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which were introduced in the 1980s, are regularly applied to reduce gastric acidity. Some patients with peptic ulcer, gastroesophageal reflux disease, dyspepsia, Hp eradication, and so forth are required to receive different course (2–8 weeks) of PPI therapy . Other patients exposed to anticoagulation drugs (aspirin, warfarin, etc.)…”

“…Your doctor will most likely recommend a biopsy of a gastric ulcer before beginning treatment. The biopsy will make sure there is no cancer hiding in the ulcer (Kuna et al, 2019).…”

“…Conventional treatments of peptic ulcers, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonists, have demonstrated adverse effects, relapses, and various drug interactions. On the other hand, medicinal plants and their chemical compounds are useful in the prevention and treatment of peptic ulcer (Kuna et al, 2019).…”
