Mucosta 100 Mg 20 Tablets

Mucosta 100 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Mucosta 100 mg 20 tablets is a prescription gastrointestinal medicine containing rebamipide, a mucosal protective agent used to treat and support the healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastritis. It works by enhancing the natural defense mechanisms of the stomach lining, increasing mucus production, scavenging free radicals, and promoting mucosal repair. Mucosta is commonly prescribed by gastroenterologists for patients with peptic ulcer disease, erosive gastritis, or chronic gastritis, and for protection of the gastric mucosa in high-risk patients. Always use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Treatment and healing of gastric ulcers.
• Treatment and healing of duodenal ulcers.
• Treatment of acute and chronic gastritis, including erosive gastritis, as prescribed by a physician.
• Relief of symptoms associated with gastritis and peptic ulcer disease such as epigastric pain, burning, discomfort, nausea, and indigestion related to mucosal injury.
• Adjunctive therapy to protect gastric mucosa in patients at risk of mucosal damage, as directed by a doctor.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Rebamipide – 100 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Other inactive ingredients (excipients, film coating agents, stabilizers) are present but detailed composition is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the official package insert for a full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Standard adult dose is commonly 100 mg (1 tablet) three times daily, or as directed by the prescribing physician. Exact dose and duration must follow your doctor’s instructions.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew the film-coated tablet unless advised by your doctor.
• May be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same times each day to maintain consistent levels.
• Duration of treatment depends on the condition (e.g., ulcer healing, gastritis control) and clinical response; follow the full course prescribed even if symptoms improve earlier.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Use in children, elderly patients, or those with liver or kidney impairment should only be under strict medical supervision with possible dose adjustment.

Clinical Benefits:

• Enhances gastric mucosal protection by increasing mucus secretion and improving the quality of the protective mucous layer.
• Supports healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers by promoting mucosal repair and regeneration.
• Helps reduce inflammation and damage in gastritis through free radical scavenging and modulation of inflammatory mediators.
• May improve upper gastrointestinal symptoms such as epigastric pain, burning sensation, and discomfort related to mucosal injury when used as prescribed.
