Peptic Ulcer Peptic Ulcer
A localized loss of gastric as well
as duodenal mucosa leads to the
formation of peptic ulcer
Symptoms –
heartburn, abdominal pain, bloating,
loss of appetite and weight loss

Sucralfate
MOA –
•At acidic pH < 4, it undergoes
extensive polymerization – forms a
sticky gel over the ulcer base –
protects it
