Formulation And Evaluation of Herbal Candy for The Treatment of Peptic Ulcer

Abstract

A chronic illness that affects about 10% of people worldwide is peptic ulcer disease. The pH of gastric juice and a decrease in mucosal defenses are necessary for the formation of peptic ulcers. PUD is a frequent disorder handled by general care physicians as well as gastroenterologists. Peptic ulcer illness can present with a variety of symptoms, such as bleeding, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, or perforation along with a complicated medical condition. The two primary variables that are affecting the mucosal resistance to damage are Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs). Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 (H2) receptor antagonists, two common therapies for peptic ulcers, have been linked to side effects, relapses, and a variety of pharmacological interactions. Conversely, medicinal plants and the chemicals they contain can be used to cure and prevent a wide range of illnesses. Therefore, common medicinal plants that can be utilized to cure or prevent peptic ulcers are presented in this review.
