steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin and
ibuprofen.
 CURE/ TREATMENTS

The most common treatment option for peptic ulcers involves a

combination of antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors, which work
to eradicate the bacteria causing the ulcer and reduce stomach acid
production, respectively.
