title: Managing patients in general practice.
abstract: General practitioners will, in the near future, have several choices of how to treat patients with peptic ulcer disease, as there will be many treatment guidelines that present different combinations of acid-inhibitory drugs, such as omeprazole, and antibiotics. However, they will still be left with the problem of who to treat, because patients do not present with a confirmed diagnosis; rather, they present with dyspeptic symptoms.
