Can Equate Be Taken When Diagnosed With An Ulcer?

I am a 43 year old epileptic man. My mother treats me like a child and handles all of my medication for me still. I take a pill, for an ulcer, which I recently developed, as well but, because she keeps them in her room, I do not know the name of that drug. I do, however, know the names of the medication for my seizures, which I ve had for 24 years. It s from brain damage from an auto accident. The ulcer health problem began recently. I do not know the name of the drug I take for it. The product, Equate, says do not use if you have an ulcer. The worst health problem is one that causes no pain at all. It is a short term memory problem, which is from the brain damage I have, which causes the seizures. Like I said, I do not know the name or the milligrams of the pill i take for my new health problem, which is the ulcer. It is a big white pill. The health drug Equate, says, do not take if you have an ulcer. Is it ok to take the Pepto Bizmal if I have an ulcer? Pllease reply immediately please. My stomach is in severe pain now and I did take the pill for my ulcer. What health harm would taking the Equate cause? I don t want to vomit on my bed. In case I do, I sleep with a towel over my blankets. I will go look in the cabinet, where we keep our over the counter medicine and read the bottle of Pepto Bizmal, if we have it. If it says not to take if I have an ulcer, I will not take it. If it doesn t say anything about an ulcer, I will take it. I am in SEVERE PAIN!
