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. The efficiency and safety of therapy with proton pump inhibitors treatment has been inconclusive, therefore there is a need to perform additional studies on pharmacological action of proton pump inhibitors. The present study was aimed at determining the patient satisfaction with the use of proton pump inhibitors. Materials and Methods: The prospective observational study was conducted for a period of 8 months at RIMS, Ranchi. Pregnant patients and patients with allergies with allergies were excluded from the study. The demographic details of all the subjects were recorded. A complete and detailed examination of all the subjects was performed. Side effects occurring with the proton pump inhibitors were also noted. These were detected by questioning the subjects. The cost of treatment was also questioned. All the data was arranged in a tabulated form and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: There were a total of 60 males and 40 females in the study. Out of which 26 males and 27 females had gastritis. There were 11 subjects who had rashes after intravenous administration. According to 61 subjects the proton pump inhibitors gave complete relief.
