The drug "De-nol" (indications for use will be discussed below) is an effective and fairly common medical tool that protects the walls of the main digestive organ from the effects of gastric acid. During treatment with this medication, a peculiar film is formed in the human stomach, which contributes to scarring of erosive and ulcerative processes. The presented preparation increases the synthesis of prostaglandin E2, stimulates the formation of bicarbonates and mucus, and also has a bactericidal effect on such a microbe as Helicobacter pylori.
Medication "De-nol": indications for use
This drug should be prescribed to the patient only by the attending physician. As a rule, it is used to treat such abnormalities as:
- peptic ulcer and erosion of the mucosa of the main digestive organ, as well as the duodenum 12;
- gastritis, including caused by the microbe Helicobacter pylori (in combination with other drugs);
- chronic gastroduodenitis and gastritis in the phase of their exacerbation;
- functional dyspepsia, which is not associated with organic lesions of the digestive tract.
Due to the high effectiveness of the treatment, gastroenterologists quite often prescribe De-Nol to their patients. Indications for use of this agent also include ulcerative erosive lesions of the mucous membranes of the duodenum and stomach, which are caused by the use of anti-inflammatory non-steroidal medications. In addition, it is prescribed to those patients who constantly have flatulence with symptoms of diarrhea.
