Pylorid is a medication primarily used in the treatment and prevention of stomach ulcers, particularly those induced by Helicobacter pylori infection, a common cause of ulcers. It belongs to a class of drugs known as H2-receptor antagonists, which work by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach. This reduction in stomach acid not only helps heal ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine but also alleviates symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux. Pylorid is effective in promoting ulcer healing and preventing ulcer recurrence when used as directed. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's instructions regarding the use of Pylorid to ensure its effectiveness and to minimize potential side effects.
