The best medicine to protect gastric mucosa

Gastric mucosa is a very important substance in our stomach. If our gastric mucosa is damaged or hurt, it may cause gastric ulcer. Therefore, some patients with gastric disease may suffer from stomach discomfort due to gastric mucosa damage. Generally, doctors can see the degree of gastric mucosa damage when examining patients. So what is the best medicine to protect gastric mucosa?

Drug treatment for chronic superficial gastritis can be roughly divided into two categories: drugs that protect the gastric mucosa and drugs that eliminate factors that damage the gastric mucosa. Drugs that protect the gastric mucosa are also called mucosal protectants. They can enhance the gastric mucosal barrier function and promote epithelial growth. This type of drug has a certain effect in relieving the symptoms of upper abdominal discomfort, but if the effect is not good when used alone, it often needs to be used in combination with other drugs.

Commonly used gastric mucosal protective agents include: Carbenoxolone: ​​It is a succinic acid hemilipid made by hydrolysis of glycyrrhizic acid. It can enhance the secretion of gastric mucosal mucus, prolong the life of gastric epithelial cells and slightly inhibit the activity of pepsin. Sucralfate: This drug can complex with pepsin, inhibiting the enzyme from breaking down proteins, and can complex with gastric mucosal proteins to form a protective film to prevent the penetration and erosion of gastric acid, pepsin and bile acid. In addition, this drug can also promote the metabolism of gastric mucosal cells.

The drug has a strong ability to fix bacteria and viruses, and has a strong ability to cover the gastrointestinal mucosa. By interacting with mucus, it can increase the toughness of the gastrointestinal mucosal colloid to fight against various attacking factors. Others: Vitamin A, Gastrosin, Aluminum Hydroxide Colloid, Gaweiping, Prostaglandins, etc. can all protect and improve the gastric mucosa.

Gastric mucosal protective drugs form a protective film on the gastric mucosa, thereby isolating the erosion of ulcer mucosa by gastric acid, enzymes and food. They are often used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers. There are many drugs of this type on the market, such as potassium citrate bismuth (Denuo), colloidal pectin bismuth (Vimin), sucralfate (Gastric), gastrosin, Maizilin-S, teprenone (Shrewd), montmorillonite (Smecta), thymus protein oral solution (Xinluowei), licorice zinc, etc.
