Bismuthan

The active ingredient in Bismuthan belongs to the group of products that treat ulcers in the stomach or small intestine. When Bismuthan tablets enter the stomach or intestine break up and coat the ulcer. Bismuthan forms a protective barrier which protects the ulcer from the stomach acid, giving it time to heal. This protective layer stays in place during your meal but needs renewing before the next meal. One of the factors causing peptic ulcers is a germ called Helicobacter pylori. For the ulcer to heal permanently the germ must be destroyed. Bismuth Subcitrate Arya helps clear up or reduce infections caused by this germ. Your doctor may give you Bismuthan in combination with other treatments to help destroy helicobacter pylori. In summary Bismuthan is used to control diarrhea, gas, upset stomach, indigestion, heartburn, nausea; reduce number of bowel movements; help firm stool.
