Pharmacological action

Gastroprotective and anti-ulcer agent with bactericidal activity against Helicobacter pylori. It also has an anti-inflammatory and astringent effect.

In the acidic environment of the stomach, insoluble bismuth oxychloride and citrate are deposited, chelated compounds are formed with a protein substrate in the form of a protective film on the surface of ulcers and erosions.

Thus, the drug forms a protective layer that protects the affected areas of the mucous membrane from the influence of aggressive factors for a long period of time. Increasing the synthesis of prostaglandin E, mucus formation and bicarbonate secretion, it stimulates the activity of cytoprotective mechanisms, increases the resistance of the gastrointestinal mucosa to the effects of pepsin, hydrochloric acid, enzymes and bile salts.

Leads to the accumulation of epidermal growth factor in the defect area. Reduces the activity of pepsin and pepsinogen.

Pharmacokinetics

It is practically not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is mainly excreted in the faeces. A small amount of bismuth that enters the plasma is excreted from the body by the kidneys.

Indications

– Functional dyspepsia not associated with organic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;

chronic gastritis and gastroduodenitis in the acute phase, including associated with Helicobacter pylori;

– stomach ulcer and duodenal ulcer in acute phase, including associated with Helicobacter pylori;

– restrainedelegance syndrome, occurring mainly with symptoms of diarrhea.

From the nervous system: very rarely – with prolonged use in high doses

Interaction

Within half an hour before and half an hour after taking the drug, it is not recommended to use other medications inside, as well as food and liquids, in particular antacids, milk, fruit and fruit juices.

The drug reduces the absorption of tetracyclines.

The drug is not used simultaneously with other medicines containing bismuth, as the simultaneous use of several bismuth preparations increases the risk of side effects, including the risk of encephalopathy.

How to take, course of use and dosage

Inside. The duration of the course of treatment and the dose of the drug is determined by the attending physician individually for each patient, depending on the nature of the disease.
