Pharmacological group

Novobismol refers to anti-ulcer drugs derived from bismuth. The active component of the drug in the acidic environment of the stomach cavity turns into insoluble bismuth compounds oxychloride and citrate, as well as chelate complexes with protein structures, forming a protective film. It protects an ulcer or erosion of the mucous membrane from negative influences, in particular from the irritating effect of gastric juice and promotes the speedy tissue regeneration. The drug also has several additional therapeutic effects that contribute to the protection of the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum:
    An increase in the synthesis of biologically active compounds of prostaglandin E in tissues, which is a major factor in the protection of the mucous membrane.
    Stimulation of the production of mucus, which protects the walls of the hollow organs of the digestive system from negative influences.
    Increasing the resistance of the mucous membrane to the irritating effect of hydrochloric acid and pepsin of gastric juice.
    Increased activity of cytoprotective mechanisms in tissues.
Novobismol contributes to the accumulation of growth factors in the area of ​​damaged tissues, due to which their regeneration is accelerated. Bismuth has a bactericidal effect and leads to the death of specific bacteria Helicobacter pilory, which are one of the main reasons for the development of peptic ulcer.
After taking the pill inside, the active substance has therapeutic effects in the lumen of the stomach and duodenum. It is practically not absorbed into the systemic circulation and is excreted unchanged with feces.

Interaction with other drugs

With the simultaneous administration of Novobismol tablets with liquid, food (dairy products, fruits, vegetables) and some medicines (antacids to reduce the acidity of gastric juice), the effectiveness of the active component decreases.
