ANS: A, C, D
Misoprostol stimulates prostaglandin synthesis and is used for prophylaxis in patients taking aspirin. Omeprazole and lansoprazole are proton pump inhibitors that can be used to prevent and treat aspirin-induced ulcers, because proton pump inhibitors suppress gastric acid.
Ranitidine and antacids are not indicated for the prevention and treatment of aspirin-induced ulcers.
