ResumoPreviewPreviously accepted methods of treating peptic ulcers have been pushed into the background by advances in drug therapy. In many cases, current therapy boils down to the question, Should I prescribe a histamine2 blocker or proton pump inhibitor? Several factors have to be considered in making the choice, among them the history and lifestyle of the particular patient.
