Pharmacological Actions
1.Gastroprotective Agent: Ecabet Sodium is primarily used for its protective effects on the gastric mucosa. It can enhance the defense mechanisms of the stomach lining, making it a useful compound in treating gastric ulcers.
2.Anti-Ulcer Activity: By increasing the production of mucus and bicarbonate, it helps protect the stomach lining from the corrosive action of gastric acid, thereby aiding in ulcer treatment and prevention.
3.Inhibition of Helicobacter pylori: Ecabet Sodium has been shown to inhibit the activity of Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium implicated in the development of various gastrointestinal disorders, including gastritis and peptic ulcers.
4.Anti-Inflammatory Effects: It exhibits anti-inflammatory actions that help in mitigating irritation and injury to the gastric mucosa caused by various factors such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and stress.
5.Mucosal Healing: It promotes the healing of gastric lesions and ulcers by enhancing cellular regeneration and repair mechanisms in the gastric mucosa.
6.Prevention of Recurrent Ulcers: Ecabet Sodium may also be used to prevent the recurrence of ulcers, especially in patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease.
