The presence of peptic ulcer has long become familiar and does not cause surprise, and anti-ulcer drugs are in every home medicine cabinet. The pharmaceutical industry is actively developing such medicines. One of these medicines used in the therapy of peptic ulcer diseases is Acilok, which successfully copes with both treatment and prevention of ulcerative diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. About him and will be discussed in this article.

What is Acyloc?

According to the instructions for use, Acyloc in ampoules is an anti-ulcer drug of Indian origin, analogous to Zoran and Gistaka. Active active ingredient in it is ranitidine. Unlike other drugs, this medication is produced not only in tablet form, but also in the form of an injectable solution for intravenous or intramuscular injection, which allows the gastroenterologist to use the possibilities of the drug more widely. Although, of course, the usual form of drugs that reduce acidity in the stomach, are pills. But there are cases when it is necessary to administer the drug intravenously. It is for these cases that the described drug is suitable. The difference from tablets is that in one ampoule solution contains 50 mg of ranitidine - a single dose for injection. One tablet contains 150 mg of the active substance.

What else informs about "Acyloca" in ampoules instruction manual? In the ampoule is not ready for injection. The agent must be diluted with sodium chloride, which may present certain disadvantages. The drug is a blocker of H2-histamine receptors, which are dislocated in the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa. Lining is called those cells that are responsible for the production of hydrochloric acid. Ranitidine suppresses the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and reduces the total volume of gastric juice by shifting its pH to the alkaline range, which automatically suppresses the activity of pepsin, which is one of the digestive enzymes. With a decrease in the amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, hepatic enzymes, which are associated with cytochrome P 450, are practically not suppressed, the concentration of gastrin in plasma is not reduced, and mucus synthesis is not suppressed."Acylok" is used for treatment and prevention of stomach and duodenum ulcers, as well as for some other disorders of the digestive system. The main active component of the drug contributes to strengthening the protective mechanisms of the gastric mucosa and potentiates the healing process of damage caused by hydrochloric acid( including facilitating the curing of stress ulcers and preventing gastric bleeding) by forming gastric mucus. This is confirmed by the instruction for the use of "Acyloca" in ampoules.

The so-called "aspirin ulcers"( a peptic ulcer provoked by NSAIDs) are treated with a 50 mg dose twice a day.
