medications that affect stomach function
Medications that affect stomach function are pharmaceutical substances that have an impact on the digestive processes in the stomach. These medications can include proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, antacids, and prokinetic agents. They work by either reducing acid production, neutralizing stomach acid, or promoting motility in the gastrointestinal tract. This interaction helps to alleviate symptoms of various stomach-related conditions such as acid reflux, ulcers, and indigestion.
