Antiulcer Agents
- Antiulcer agents are drugs used to treat ulcers, especially in the stomach and duodenum.
- They work by:
- Reducing stomach acid production
- Protecting the stomach lining
- Neutralizing existing acid
- Common antiulcer drugs include:
- Ranitidine (brand name: Zantac) – H₂-receptor antagonist
- Omeprazole – Proton pump inhibitor
EXPLANATION:
- Among the given options:
- Paracetamol: This is an analgesic and antipyretic drug, used for pain relief and fever reduction. It is not an antiulcer agent.
- Zantac: This is a brand name for Ranitidine, which is an H2-receptor antagonist and is used as an antiulcer agent. It reduces stomach acid production and helps in healing ulcers.
- Tolbutamide: This is an antidiabetic drug used to control blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is not related to ulcer treatment.
Therefore, the correct answer is Zantac.
