Antacid - A combination of Aluminium Hydroxide , Magnesium Hydroxide & Simethicone - An absorbent as well as adsorbent of Gastric as well as neutralise
acidity of stomach - To maintain the proper pH of stomach wall .
One of the major cause of Gastrities is Stress / Anxiety / Sleepless ness . Rat-racing in life will increse the risk of this global problem day by day .
The Biochemistry of Severe Acidity - the pH of stomach is controlled by Henderson eqn for Buffer . The secreted acid with enzyme Pepsin , Renin along with bile salt helps in digestion . But acidity disturbs the buffer capacity of Gastric
Now looking back to Hender eqn. pH = pKa + ( [ Salt ] / [ Acid ] ) . Here pKa value is interesting for strong acid -weak acid mixture . Here acid is not pure hydrochloric acid 100 % but a mixture of weak acid - salt . [ salt ] & [ Acid ]
are molar concentrations of salt & acid respectively .
GERD - The main cause of IBS - Irritable Bowel System - Contineous burning sensation in stomach / atonic constipation . Very painful and G.I discomfort -
Chronic problem - no way to releif without PPI & Domperodone ( sustained release ) grs of medicines .
With the medicines widely used GERD -IBS syndrome - More and Fibrous diet like Isab -gul husk , wheat grass grain are used with plenty of water . Fibre will minimise constipation - as a Gasritis may be controlled .
Night hipersecretion wery good improved with H2RA, for short time of 2 weeks, due to tachiphylaxia. Is good to known mechanisms of acidity hypersecretion (G, M1 or H2 mechanism).
E.g. If is in question PUD, especially with bleeding, is wery import that pH to stay approximately 6, this increasing of pH is not possibile with antacids or with H2RA but only with PPI.
The 3 classes disponible are antacids, H2-receptor antagonista and PPIs, Dependind of the severity you can choose the most conveniente for every patient
Domperidone - A widely used combination therapy with PPI grs like Omeprazole ,
Pantaprazole , Rabi& Esomeprazole anti-ulser drugs . Generally 30 mg is used of which 10 mg instant & then 20 mg in Sustained Release ( SR ) formulation .
Dependently from acid release mechanism, e.g for inhibition of M1 receptors, is need to administration PIRENZEPIN, for H2 receptors H2RA agents suc as Ranitidin, Famotidin, Nizatidin and generaly inhibition with different class of PPIs.
For Zollinger Elliosn Syndrome, high dose (double dose of PPIs).
Rabeprazole fastCombination of Rabeprazole , Domperidone with Sodibicarb power is an excellent formulation for both PPI along with gastric pH control .
Not only all the above medicines but main cause of ulser is "stress " also called Stress ulser so some natural remedies like Pranayana , Sabasana , Meditation ,
light music can remove this stress . We all should practice also regularly .
Being a chronic pateint of gastric ulser for the last 25 Yrs under PPI with domperidone with tranquliser as prescribed by my doctors , I have tried sabasana
with all these above to redure stress / anxiety . I am observing now the effect of
Being a chronic gastric pateint of Gasrities for the last 30 yrs I have experianced all kinds of PPI , H2 blockers , Antacids but along with that medicines Indian Yoga
is a good stress reliever . Stress is the primary cause for acidity reflox .
Drinking water plays an important role towards gasritis - High Fe ( II ) content , Hardness , As , Hg ,& lead in ppm will be directly resposible for Gastric disorder .
