Proton pump inhibitors with two antibiotics are involved in eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection within seven days of treatment (1).<br/><br/>Methods: A cross sectional retrospective study was conducted at BMC. Systematic random sampling was used to include 201 peptic ulcer patients. The data were analyzed with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences window version 20.0. Descriptive statistics were generated for treatment patterns.<br/><br/>Results: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in combination with antacids were the most prescribed drugs 103 (51.3%). The use of injectable PUD drugs was less frequent 4 (2.0%) than oral formulations 87 (43.3%). Generic drugs were more prescribed than proprietary name drugs 195 (97.0%) compared to 6 (3.0%) respectively). Prescriptions of H2 –receptor blockers combined with antacids were low 7 (3.5%). The average number of PUD drugs prescribed per prescription was (1.59±0.659).<br/><br/>Discussion: Medicines are essential tools in the management of diseases.
