When suffering from peptic ulcer, do you have to stay on omerprazole indefinetly?

Choice of treatment depends on whether the ulcer is caused by infection with H pylori. Correct diagnosis is key to whether a treatment works or not. If the bacteria are the cause, treatment focuses on killing the infection. Regardless of whether the bacteria are the cause, reducing acid in the stomach is another important focus of treatment. It is important that you are checked during your treatment to make sure that your ulcer is healing. Most people with peptic ulcers get better when treated with the appropriate medicine. Treatment for H pylori bacteria is usually successful if medications are taken as prescribed. Although ulcers can cause discomfort, they are rarely life threatening. With care following medication, and cessation of symptoms, it is possible to remain symptom free.
