Hello
Thanks for query .
You have been diagnosed to have Chronic Deodenal Ulcer and prescribed combination of H2 receptor antagonist (Rabeprazole) and Zinc Carnosine 75 mg.
Since Chronic Deodenal Ulcer is not due to bacterial infection there is no role for antibiotics to play in healing of a ulcer .
It takes few weeks for these drugs to see the results and has to be continued for long time .
You have to follow following dietary restrictions to promote healing of a ulcer .
1) Take frequent small meals at regular interval rather than having two full meals twice .
2) Take milk and curd in sumptuous quantity .
3) Avoid junk food and spicy food .
4) Avoid alcohol and aerated soft drinks .
This will help to cure your DU.
