Medical management of uncomplicated peptic ulcer disease
The majority of patients with peptic ulcer disease can now be
treated perfectly Well with medication. This was not always the
case. Previously, peptic ulcer disease was predominantly
managed using a number of surgical techniques with invariably
high morbidity and mortality rate .However, the development
of histamine (H2)-receptor antagonists in the 1970S led to
a dramatic shift, with rates of elective ulcer surgery decreasing by
up to 80% in the 1980s,1 Medical treatment was improved
further in the late 1980s when the proton pump inhibitor (PPI)
omeprazole was introduced. Although H2-receptor antagonists
are effective at reducing acid secretion. with treatment leading to
the healing of 80-90% of peptic ulcers, they do not block it
completely as gastrin and vagal stimulation can still induce
parietal cell acid secretion, However, the H+/K+-ATPase pump
situated on the apical membrane of the gastric parietal cell
provides a common end to the acid secretion pathway and is
completely and irreversibly inhibited by PPI medication, which
leads to faster ulcer healing in a greater percentage of patients
than relying on H2-receptor antagonists alone
