€11.35 €9.93
Gastroprotective and antiulcer agent with bactericidal activity against Helicobacter pylori. It also has anti-inflammatory and astringent action.
In the acidic environment of the stomach insoluble bismuth oxychloride and citrate are precipitated, chelated compounds with protein substrate are formed in the form of a protective film on the surface of ulcers and erosions. Thus, the drug forms a protective layer, which for a long period of time protects the affected areas of the mucous membrane from the influence of aggressive factors. By increasing the synthesis of prostaglandin E, mucus formation and hydrocarbonate secretion, it stimulates the activity of cytoprotective mechanisms, increases resistance of gastrointestinal mucosa to pepsin, hydrochloric acid, enzymes and salts of bile acids. Leads to the accumulation of epidermal growth factor in the defect area. Reduces the activity of pepsin and pepsinogen.
Pharmacokinetics
Virtually not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is excreted mainly with the feces. A small amount of bismuth that entered the plasma is excreted by the kidneys.
Indications
functional dyspepsia not associated with organic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
chronic gastritis and gastroduodenitis in the acute phase, including those associated with Helicobacter pylori;
peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum in the acute phase, including those associated with Helicobacter pylori;
irritable bowel syndrome, which occurs predominantly with symptoms of diarrhea.
Pharmacological effect
Gastroprotective and antiulcer agent with bactericidal activity against Helicobacter pylori. It also has anti-inflammatory and astringent effects.
In the acidic environment of the stomach, insoluble bismuth oxychloride and citrate precipitate, and chelate compounds with the protein substrate are formed in the form of a protective film on the surface of ulcers and erosions. Thus, the drug forms a protective layer, which for a long period of time protects the affected areas of the mucous membrane from the influence of aggressive factors. By 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
Practically not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is excreted mainly in feces. A small amount of bismuth entering the plasma is excreted from the body by the kidneys.
Special instructions
The drug should not be used for more than 8 weeks. It is not recommended to exceed the established daily doses for adults and children during treatment.

From the nervous system: very rarely – with long-term use in high doses – encephalopathy associated with the accumulation of bismuth in the central nervous system.

Interaction
For half an hour before and half an hour after taking the drug, it is not recommended to take other medications internally, as well as take food and liquids, in particular antacids, milk, fruits and fruit juices. This is due to the fact that when taken orally simultaneously, they can affect the effectiveness of bismuth tripotassium dicitrate.

The drug is not used simultaneously with other drugs containing bismuth, since the simultaneous use of several bismuth drugs increases the risk of side effects, including the risk of encephalopathy.
Overdose
When using the drug in doses tens of times higher than recommended, or with prolonged use of excessive doses of the drug, the development of bismuth poisoning is possible.
Symptoms: dyspepsia, rash, inflammation of the oral mucosa, characteristic darkening in the form of blue lines on the gums; with long-term use in doses exceeding the recommended ones, renal function may be impaired.
These symptoms are completely reversible when the drug is discontinued.
Treatment: there is no specific antidote. In case of an overdose of the drug, gastric lavage, intake of enterosorbents and symptomatic therapy aimed at maintaining night function are indicated. In case of overdose, the administration of saline laxatives is also indicated. Further treatment should be symptomatic. In case of impaired renal function, accompanied by a high level of bismuth in the blood plasma, complexing agents – dimercaptosuccinic and dimercaptopropanesulfonic acids – can be administered. With the development of severe renal dysfunction, hemodialysis is indicated.
