 PharmGKB: bismuth subsalicylate
Bismuth subsalicylate is used, in combination with oral antibiotic therapy, in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori –associated gastritis and duodenal ulcer.
Bismuth subsalicylate may exert its antidiarrheal action not only by stimulating absorption of fluid and electrolytes across the intestinal wall (antisecretory action) but also, when hydrolyzed to salicylic acid, by inhibiting synthesis of a prostaglandin responsible for intestinal inflammation and hypermotility.
Based on in vitro dissociation data and in vivo animal data, bismuth subsalicylate is believed to be largely hydrolyzed in the stomach to bismuth oxychloride and salicylic acid.
