T47.1: Poisoning: Other antacids and anti-gastric-secretion drugs
You have been poisoned by a drug that suppresses the production and action of gastric acids.
The stomach is located in the upper left abdomen. The stomach stores food and breaks it down further. Harmful pathogens are also killed by gastric acid in the stomach. The stomach thus prepares the food for digestion in the intestines. Gastric acids are produced in certain cells in the stomach. These cells then discharge the gastric acids into the stomach. There the gastric acids mix with the partially digested food.
A substance can cause poisoning if, for example, too much of it is taken. The substance may also be administered or taken by mistake.
There are a variety of drugs that affect the production and action of gastric acids. They differ in the way they act, for example. With a poisoning, the symptoms depend on such things as which drugs have been taken.
Nausea and vomiting may occur in the case of poisoning by drugs that suppress the production of gastric acids or weaken the gastric acids. In the case of drugs like these, abdominal pain and diarrhea may occur. Headaches are also a possibility.
