Upper Gastrointestinal Done, Mild Erosions In The Fundus And Mild Antral Gastritis, Taking Pantocid Dsr
I got an upper GI done two days ago and have been told that there are mild erosions in the fundus and antrum alongwith mild gastritis . The doctor has advised Pantocid DSR for two months. Is this safe and what does my condition signify?
Hi,
You have Erosive Gastritis such condition may result due to use of Aspirin or other analgesics, or use of alcohol or Tobacco. treatment advised is acid suppression which helps to heal the erosion along with motility of gut improves. This is safe to take for advised time. If acid is suppressed for long time it may predispose to stomach infections and long term use may cause enlargement of breast in males.(Gynaecomastia)But any cause is there then you must change your life style if there is to much stress. Take some kind of yoga and meditation. If it is recurrent then test for H.Pylori or consult Gastroenterologist for Triple Therapy. All the best.
