A. First of all, we are not doctors here. We are people like you, and no one here can either recommend or prescribe you any medication.
Regarding gastric ulcers, in many times it results from an infection by H. pylori, and treating this infection (by a combination of several drugs) may solve the problem. You should consult your doctor about it.
