How effective are Mucosta tablets 100 mg from Japan for ulcer and gastritis (rebamipide, Rebagen, Rebagit)?
Mucosta tablets contain rebamipide, an amino acid derivative of 2-(1H)-quinolinone. It protects against gastric mucosal injury by increasing the prostaglandin E2 content and exerting a cytoprotective effect on the gastric mucosa. Also, Mucosta tablets increase the amount of gastric mucus and stimulate gastric mucosal blood flow to improve impaired hemodynamics, thus helping to suppress inflammation and repair the gastric mucosa.
Who should take Mucosta tablets 100 mg from Japan?
Mucosta tablets are effective for the treatment of gastric ulcer and for improvement of gastric mucosal lesions (erosion, bleeding, redness and edema) in acute gastritis and acute exacerbation of chronic gastritis. Also, studies showed that rebamipide in its usual dosage (3 tablets * 100 mg daily) is effective for the treatment of recurrent aphthous ulcers or stomatitis or mucositis, Behcet's syndrome and related diseases (Mohan H. Kudur, Manjunath Hulmani. “Rebamipide: A Novel Agent in the Treatment of Recurrent Aphthous Ulcer and Behcet's Syndrome”. Indian Journal of Dermatology. 2013, September-October, 58(5): 352–354).
