hello, i had a severe fever for 3 days and i took a lot of ibuprofen and aspirin, which i learned can cause peptic ulcers, this is my first time and i am wondering how common is the medication for non-bacterial peptic ulcer treatment in the local UK pharmacies?

    Not in the UK  but the answers are the same worldwide I should think. Assume you are looking for something non antibiotic?? If so try a tablespoon of coconut oil before each meal and see how you feel after a week. If you want domething stronger try Tazec as its easier to get off than the others. A good natural supplement that worked for me last time was zinc carsinine - its sometimes called pepsin GI depending on where you buy it. Dissolve tablets on your tongue same as you do with DGL. Best to avoid all pain meds if one has tummy troubles.
