Skip to content Home News About us ... Products Gastrointestinal A world leader in gastrointestinal medicines Acid-related diseases, such as gastro oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), peptic ulcer, and dyspepsia, represent a major healthcare problem. AstraZeneca has pioneered research and committed to advancing the treatment of acid related diseases. AstraZeneca's development of the first proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class began in 1974 which ultimately lead to it becoming the world leader in the treatment of acid-related diseases. Acid reflux Acid reflux is a condition where gastric juices containing acid travel back from the stomach into the oesophagus (swallowing tube). Some 20% of the population experience this problem on a weekly basis and have a condition called gastro oesophageal reflux disease or GORD. Symptoms of acid reflux include heartburn (a burning feeling rising from the stomach or lower chest up towards the neck), regurgitation, chest pain, a difficulty in swallowing (dysphagia), hoarseness, dental diseases and asthma. The food in the stomach is partially digested by stomach acid and enzymes. Normally, the partially digested acidic content in the stomach is delivered by the stomach muscle into the small intestine for further digestion. In patients with acid reflux, stomach acid content refluxes backwards into the oesophagus, causing inflammation and damage.

Ulcers can form in the lining of the stomach (gastric ulcers), duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) or the oesophagus (food pipe). While stomach acid plays a significant role in the development of ulcers, other factors may be involved, including infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori , smoking, and the long-term use of certain anti-inflammatory medicines. Symptoms of an ulcer are variable, but may include upper abdominal burning or hunger pain 1-3 hours after meals and in the middle of the night. In some cases, serious complications can occur like bleeding or perforation (erosion of the ulcer right through the gut wall). Most ulcers are effectively healed with treatment. Treatments for ulcers include: Antacids neutralise existing acid in the stomach Acid suppressants like H2-antagonists and proton-pump inhibitors (in combination with antibiotics if H. pylori infection is involved, which is in more than 90% of cases) More information Digestive Disorders Foundation Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA) AstraZeneca websites Search Advanced search Quick links Find us Vacancies Sitemap Related sites National Health Priorities and Quality Asthmacare Australia Legal notice © AstraZeneca 2004 - 2005

Facts About Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers During normal digestion, food moves from the mouth down the esophagus into the stomach. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid and an enzyme called pepsin to digest the food. From the stomach, food passes into the upper part of the small intestine, called the duodenum, where digestion and nutrient absorption continue. An ulcer is a sore or lesion that forms in the lining of the stomach or duodenum where hydrochloric acid and pepsin are present. These ulcers are referred to as peptic ulcers gastric ulcers in the stomach and duodenal ulcers in the duodenum. About one in 10 Americans develop at least one ulcer during their lifetimes. Ulcers affect about five million people each year. More than 40,000 people each year have surgery because of persistent symptoms or problems from ulcers. Each year, nearly 6,000 people die of ulcer-related complications. Ulcers can develop at any age, but they are rare among teenagers and even more uncommon in children. Duodenal ulcers occur for the first time usually between the ages of 30 and 50.

Back to Top General Ulcer / Gastric Ulcer / Peptic Ulcer Information A gastric ulcer, also known as a peptic ulcer, is a craterlike lesion in the lining of the stomach or small intestine. An ulcer results when the body's defense of the lining of the stomach cannot secrete sufficient mucus to protect it against the strong acid essential for digestion. When there is not sufficient protection against the effect of digestive acids and enzymes, the stomach essentially starts to digest itself, causing ulcers. Gastric ulcers affect 5 million Ameicans annually; an estimated 10 percent of Americans will suffer from gastric ulcers at some time in their lives.

An ulcer is an open sore, or lesion, usually found on the skin or mucous membrane areas of the body.

When the peptic ulcer is located in the duodenum, it is called a duodenal ulcer What causes gastric and duodenal ulcers? In the past, it was believed lifestyle factors, such as stress and diet caused ulcers. Later, researchers determined that stomach acids - hydrochloric acid and pepsin - contributed to ulcer formation. Today, research shows that most ulcers (80 percent of gastric ulcers and 90 percent of duodenal ulcers) develop as a result of infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). It is believed that, although all of these factors - lifestyle, acid and pepsin, and H. pylori - play a role in ulcer development, H. pylori is considered to be the primary cause in most cases. Factors suspected of playing a role in the development of stomach or duodenal ulcers include: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)
