Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Background: The proton-pump inhibitors are efficient inhibitors of secretion of gastric acid. Subjects infected with Helicobacter pylori, these drugs can cause corpus-predominant gastritis, which is commonly found in the mucosa amongst patients with gastric cancer.
