How effective are Aplace tablets 100 mg from Japan for gastritis and ulcer (troxipide, Troxip, Defensa, Shuqi)?

Aplace tablets contain troxipide, a systemic gastric cytoprotective agent. While most of other gastroprotective compounds inhibit acid secretion or neutralize the acid, troxipide works in a different way. Troxipide provides the following effects:

• increases the content of glucosamine and collagen in gastric mucosa,
• increases the amount of mucopolysaccharides in gastric mucosa,
• stimulates cytoprotective prostaglandins,
• enhances epithelial restitution and mucosal healing.

Also, Aplace tablets suppress the gastric inflammation by inhibiting proinflammatory mediators.
