Alsarex - 2 tabs 2 times a day Tab. Sutshekhar ras - 2 tabs 2 times a day Continue for at least 3 months You can also try this simple home remedy for acute ulcer/ gastritis pain: Eat a bowl of smashed cooked rice + cow butter (home made) early morning in breakfast. This gives good relief in many patients. To get relief of your pain keep away - Hurry, Worry and Curry Hurry = Never eat your food in hurry. It leads to indigestion that further cause acidity.
