2. Peptic UlcerPeptic Ulcer
A localized loss of gastric as well
as duodenal mucosa leads to the
formation of peptic ulcer
Symptoms –
heartburn, abdominal pain, bloating,
loss of appetite and weight loss

Mechanism of action
• Competitive inhibition of H2 receptors -
Inhibits gastric acid secretion (60-70%)
• Suppresses all phases of acid secretion,
mainly nocturnal acid secretion; pH↑to 4-5
