Answer to Question 1

Antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, or antacids. Antibiotics fight H. pylori infection; the others are antisecretory drugs that help to relieve pain and allow healing. Bismuth preparations and sucralfate may help coat the GI lining and prevent further damage.

Answer to Question 2

True
