Efficacy and safety of proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists in the initial non ‑eradication treatment of duodenal ulcer: A network meta‑analysis
In conclusion, pantoprazole (40 mg once daily) was the best choice for the initial non-eradication treatment of patients with duodenal ulcer, and cimetidine (400 mg twice daily), omeprazole (20 mg once daily), lansoprazole (15 mg once daily), ilaprazole (5 mg once daily) and rabeprazole (10 mg once daily) could be used as the first choice. If the aforementioned pharmaceuticals cannot be prescribed, famotidine (40 mg twice daily) is recommended.PMID:37206569 | PMC:PMC10189747 | DOI:10.3892/etm.2023.11971 (Source: Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine)

Promising effect of Geranium robertianum L. leaves and Aloe vera gel powder on Aspirin ®-induced gastric ulcers in Wistar rats: anxiolytic behavioural effect, antioxidant activity, and protective pathways
ConclusionData presented a significant protective effect ofAloe vera gel and geranium against Aspirin ®-induced GU; they reduced gastric mucosal injury with potential anxiolytic effects through their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Therefore, they may be considered promising agents for preventing or treating gastric ulceration. (Source: Inflammopharmacology)

Population Pharmacokinetics of Posaconazole in Immune-Compromised Children and Assessment of Target Attainment in Invasive Fungal Disease
ConclusionsThe results of this study revealed that both fixed and weight-based adaptive dosing schemes can be appropriate for target attainment across all PSZ formulations, including suspension. Additionally, covariate analysis suggests that concomitant proton pump inhibitors should be contraindicated during PSZ suspension dosing. (Source: Clinical Pharmacokinetics)

Merging konjac glucomannan with other copolymeric hydrogels as a cutting-edge liquid raft system for dual delivery of etoricoxib and famotidine
This study aimed to formulate and evaluate a floating raft system for the co-delivery of etoricoxib (ETO) and famotidine (FAM) using a combination of glucomannan with natural/semi-synthetic polysaccharides. Formulation variables affect gelation lag time (GLT), floating lag time (FLT), and release percentage of drugs after 1-8 h, Stability, and viscosity parameters were evaluated. In vivo X-ray studies, followed by the pharmacokinetic study, were performed on human volunteers. Formulations exhibited pseudoplastic behavior for ease of swallowing. The optimum raft system (ORS) comprised 1% Na alginate, 0.1% Low Methoxyl (LM) ...
