Abstract
Peptic ulcer disease is common in older people, and they bear much of the impact of its complications. Improved understanding of the principal causes of ulcers n Helicobacter pylori and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs n has recently led to significant advances in drug treatment for ulcer disease. These new treatments offer the prospect of better symptom relief and improved mortality in the elderly. Aust J Hosp Pharm 1999; 29: 45-50.
