==Overview==
==Overview==
* Younger patients with ulcer-like symptoms are often treated with [[antacid]]s or [[H2 antagonist]]s before EGD is undertaken.[[Bismuth subsalicylate|Bismuth compounds]] may actually reduce or even clear organisms.
The mainstay of treatment for peptic ulcer disease is pharmacotherapy. Treatment of ''[[Helicobacter pylori]]'' with antimicrobial agents is indicated for patients with [[gastric ulcer|gastric]] or [[duodenal]] [[ulceration]].  Pharmacologic therapies for peptic ulcer disease due to ''[[H. pylori]]'' is either triple or quadruple pharmacologic agents that include a [[Proton pump inhibitors]] plus a combination of antimicrobial agents. After the first line therapy, patient is tested for persistent H.pylori infection. If the patient has persistent infection, treatment is planned according to previous [[antibiotics]] therapy. Salvage treatment is used for failure of first line therapy. The use of antimicrobial therapy is discouraged among asymptomatic carriers.


* Patients who are taking [[NSAIDs|nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories]] (NSAIDs) may also be prescribed a [[prostaglandin]] [[analog (chemistry)|analogue]] ([[Misoprostol]]) in order to help prevent peptic ulcers, which may be a side-effect of the NSAIDs.
==Medical Therapy==
The mainstay of treatment for peptic ulcer disease is pharmacotherapy. Pharmacotherapy for peptic ulcer disease can be discussed under [[Helicobacter pylori]]-associated peptic ulcer and  Non- [[Helicobacter pylori]]-associated [[peptic ulcer]] disease.


* When ''H. pylori'' infection is present, the most effective treatments are combinations of 2 antibiotics (e.g. [[Erythromycin]],[[Ampicillin]], [[Amoxicillin]], [[Tetracycline]], [[Metronidazole]]) and 1 [[proton pump inhibitor]] (PPI). An effective combination would be [[Amoxicillin]] + [[Metronidazole]] + [[Pantoprazole]] (a PPI). In the absence of ''H. pylori'', long-term higher dose PPIs are often used.
===Eradication Therapy for ''Helicobacter pylori'' Infection===
The ACG’s 2017 treatment guideline on the management of [[H. pylori]] infection listed the following as established indications for diagnosis and treatment:<ref name="urlwww.nature.com">{{cite web |url=https://www.nature.com/ajg/journal/v112/n2/pdf/ajg2016563a.pdf |title=www.nature.com |format= |work= |accessdate=}}</ref>
====Indications====
*Active [[Peptic ulcer]] disease ([[gastric]] or [[duodenal]]).
*Confirmed history of PUD (not previously treated for [[H. pylori]])
*[[Gastric]] [[MALT lymphoma]] (low grade)
*After [[endoscopic]] resection of [[gastric cancer]]

* Treatment of ''H. pylori'' usually leads to clearing of infection, relief of symptoms and eventual healing of ulcers. Recurrence of infection can occur and retreatment may be required, if necessary with other antibiotics. Since the widespread use of PPI's in the 1990s, surgical procedures (like "highly selective [[vagotomy]]") for uncomplicated peptic ulcers became obsolete.
====Triple Therapy====
*Triple  therapy consisting of a [[Proton pump inhibitors]] and 2 [[antibiotics]]  for 14 days remains a recommended [[treatment]] in regions where [[H. pylori]] [[clarithromycin]] resistance is known to be <15% and in patients with no previous history of [[macrolide]] exposure.<ref name="pmid11232676">{{cite journal |vauthors=Maconi G, Parente F, Russo A, Vago L, Imbesi V, Bianchi Porro G |title=Do some patients with Helicobacter pylori infection benefit from an extension to 2 weeks of a proton pump inhibitor-based triple eradication therapy? |journal=Am.

With declining success rates for [[H. pylori]] eradication therapy, many patients will be persistently infected after treatment and will therefore remain at risk for the complications of [[H. pylori]]-related disease, such as [[peptic]] [[ulceration]] and [[gastric]] [[malignancy]], testing to prove eradication should be performed using a [[urea breath test]], fecal antigen test or biopsy-based testing at least 4 weeks after the completion of [[antibiotic]] therapy and after [[PPI]] therapy has been withheld for 1–2 weeks.In patients with persistent [[H. pylori]] infection, every effort should be made to avoid [[antibiotics]] that have been previously taken by the patient.<ref name="urlwww.nature.com">{{cite web |url=https://www.nature.com/ajg/journal/v112/n2/pdf/ajg2016563a.pdf |title=www.nature.com |format= |work= |accessdate=}}</ref><ref name="pmid17608775">{{cite journal |vauthors=Chey WD, Wong BC |title=American College of Gastroenterology guideline on the management of Helicobacter pylori infection |journal=Am.

====Salvage treatment====
After the failure of first-line therapy, such patients should be considered for referral for salvage treatment.

Overview

The mainstay of treatment for peptic ulcer disease is pharmacotherapy. Treatment of Helicobacter pylori with antimicrobial agents is indicated for patients with gastric or duodenal ulceration. Pharmacologic therapies for peptic ulcer disease due to H. pylori is either triple or quadruple pharmacologic agents that include a Proton pump inhibitors plus a combination of antimicrobial agents. After the first line therapy, patient is tested for persistent H.pylori infection. If the patient has persistent infection, treatment is planned according to previous antibiotics therapy. Salvage treatment is used for failure of first line therapy. The use of antimicrobial therapy is discouraged among asymptomatic carriers.

Medical Therapy

The mainstay of treatment for peptic ulcer disease is pharmacotherapy. Pharmacotherapy for peptic ulcer disease can be discussed under Helicobacter pylori-associated peptic ulcer and Non- Helicobacter pylori-associated peptic ulcer disease.

Eradication Therapy for Helicobacter pylori Infection

The ACG’s 2017 treatment guideline on the management of H. pylori infection listed the following as established indications for diagnosis and treatment:[1]

Indications

Depending upon exposure of antibiotics and allergy to antibiotics, following treatments regimen are being used:[2][3]

Triple Therapy

  • PCM regimen
  • PLA regimen
  • PMA regimen
  • Alternative regimen (1): Proton pump inhibitor standard dose* PO q12h for 7–14 days AND
  • Alternative regimen (2): Metronidazole 250mg PO q6h for 7–14 days AND
  • Alternative regimen (3): Amoxicillin 1g PO q12h for 7–14 days
  • PRA regimen

Persistent Helicobacter Pylori infection

With declining success rates for H. pylori eradication therapy, many patients will be persistently infected after treatment and will therefore remain at risk for the complications of H. pylori-related disease, such as peptic ulceration and gastric malignancy, testing to prove eradication should be performed using a urea breath test, fecal antigen test or biopsy-based testing at least 4 weeks after the completion of antibiotic therapy and after PPI therapy has been withheld for 1–2 weeks.In patients with persistent H. pylori infection, every effort should be made to avoid antibiotics that have been previously taken by the patient.[1][18]
