title: Peptic ulcer disease.
abstract: Many of the drugs available for treating peptic ulcer disease have a series of possible overlapping actions on various stages both of acid suppression and mucosal defence, but in certain situations one drug may be better than another. More research is needed to clarify the aetiology of peptic ulcer disease so that treatment can be improved.
