Brief Answer:
Voveran can aggravate gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxx
Welcome.

I have gone through your query

Why are you takings Voveran SR , it contains diclofenac which is known to cause and or aggravate gastritis. Kindly recheck the name of the drug again.

Antral gastritis is mainly treated with proton pump inhibiotors.
In situations like yours where the person has even trouble in sleeping, we advise following:
1. To take a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone once a day.
2. To take Sucralfate and Oxetacaine suspension like Sucrafil-O two teaspoon full thrice a day.
3. To take soft , bland diet., Avoid spicy food , alcohol , smoking.
4. To walk after each meal. Do not lie down immediately after food.

Hope this helps
Take care
