Dear I can understand your concern
I would like to inform you that if you are diagnosed with stomach ulcer then the best drug for you is proton pump inhibitors such as pantoprazole or rabeprazole . Along with this certain antacids are also given . duration of therapy is most of time up to 6 weeks but can be extended to more depending upon your response to treatment .For percocet I would like to suggest you that this can aggrevates the symptoms and may harm you .
So discus this with your physician and get proper treatment .
If you have any other concerns please feel free to message me .
Thanks for contacting HCM .
