Answer Choices:
Antibiotics
💊 Antibiotics — This is correct because ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori require antibiotic therapy to eliminate the infection. Common regimens include a combination of two antibiotics (like amoxicillin and clarithromycin) plus a proton-pump inhibitor to reduce acid.
💊 H2-receptor blockers — This is incorrect because while they reduce stomach acid, they do not treat the bacterial cause of the ulcer.
💊 Proton-pump inhibitors — This is incorrect alone because they support healing by reducing acid but must be used alongside antibiotics to treat H. pylori.
💊 Antacids — This is incorrect because they neutralize existing stomach acid but do not affect H. pylori.
