Hello Hafiz,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic. Its sad that you ahve been under treatment for ulcers for past six months, but the basic culprit of ulcers are H. Pylori and NSAID(analgesics). and the treatment also must consist of eradication of H.Pylori and discontinuation of these analgesics. And for those, who need to be on them, then changing to a COX-2 selective inhibitor is an option. A complete 6-8 weeks treatment is required for complete healing.Get well soon.
