Which of the following medications are not administered during the active phase of peptic ulcer disease?
  1. Anti-cholinergics
  2. Prostaglandins
  3. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories
  4. Antacids
Explanation
Answer - C - Non-steroidal inflammatories like aspirin are not administered because these medications are irritating to the ulcer and may aggravate the symptoms. Anti-cholinergics are used to reduce gastric motility. Prostaglandins protect the ulcer and have anti-secretory actions. Antacids neutralize gastric secretions.
