Correct option (A)

Ulcers can be treated with cimetidine; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), in which stomach acid flows backwards, causing heartburn and damage to the food tube (esophagus), and conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, in which the stomach produces too much acid. Cimetidine can be purchased over the counter to prevent and treat heartburn symptoms caused by acid indigestion, sour stomach, or both. H2 blockers are a class of drugs that include cimetidine. It reduces the amount of stomach acid produced.

Incorrect:

Option (B) A variety of infections can be managed and treated with penicillin. It is in the beta-lactam anti-infection class of medications. This activity discusses the uses, effects, and contraindications of penicillin as an effective antibiotic for treating infections. In addition, this activity will draw attention to the drug's mechanism of action, adverse event profile, and other important aspects (such as off-label uses, dosing, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, monitoring, and relevant interactions) that are important for members of an interprofessional infection treatment team.

Option (C) In conditions like non-cancerous stomach ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), active duodenal ulcer, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and erosive esophagitis, omeprazole is used to treat excess stomach acid. Omeprazole belongs to the class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors and works by preventing the production of gastric acid. Omeprazole and antibiotics can be used to treat gastric ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Adults take omeprazole over-the-counter (OTC) to manage heartburn that occurs two or more days per week. For 14 consecutive days, the OTC brand must be taken as a course regularly.

Option (D) Your stomach produces less acid with lansoprazole. It's utilized for heartburn, indigestion, heartburn and gastroesophageal-reflux-sickness (GORD). Additionally, stomach ulcers can be prevented and treated with lansoprazole. Occasionally, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare condition brought on by a tumour in the gut or pancreas, is treated with lansoprazole. Lansoprazole is just accessible on remedy. It comes in tablets and capsules.
