Suggest Treatment For Stomach Ulcer

Hi, My friend has a stomach ulcer and is taking nexium. She also is taking Human growth hormone which is a three month course to treat an old L5 injury. The nexium doesn t seem to be working. Is there any issues with taking nexium and Human growth hormone together? Would the human growth hormone be making the stomach ulcer grow?

Desr: it can cause more acid production. However, it is important to check the possibility of H.pilori which is a bacteria that produces ulcer and it is a possibility when an ulcer does not heal.
