Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Rebagit is a gastroprotective drug, the active substance of which is rebamipide. The mechanism of action of the drug is due to the ability of rebamipide to increase the content of prostaglandin E2 (PgE2) in the gastric mucosa and to potentiate the synthesis of prostaglandins E2 and GI2 in the contents of gastric juice.
Rebamipide increases the mucus content on the surface of the stomach wall as a result of the activation of enzymes that accelerate the production of high molecular weight glycoproteins. Against the background of its intake, blood supply improves and the barrier function of the gastric mucosa is activated, the alkaline secretion of gastric juice increases, the proliferation and exchange of gastric epithelial cells increases. Rebamipide is involved in the processes associated with cleansing the mucous membrane from hydroxyl radicals. Suppresses superoxides produced in the presence of Helicobacter pylori by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and neutrophils. Protects the gastric mucosa from damage by bacteria, increases resistance to the damaging effect on the stomach of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Shows a cytoprotective effect when ethanol, acids, alkalis or acetylsalicylic acid are exposed to the gastric mucosa.
Pharmacokinetics
After oral administration, rebamipide is actively absorbed. Its maximum plasma concentration (C max), when taken at a dose of 100 mg, reaches 340 ng / ml after about 2 hours.
Plasma protein binding - up to 98.6% (according to in vitro studies).
Rebamipide passes into breast milk.
The half-life (T 1/2) is approximately 1 hour.
It is excreted through the kidneys, mainly unchanged, in an amount of about 10% of the dose taken. Admission at a dose of 600 mg allows the release of trace amounts of the hydroxylated metabolite.
As a result of repeated use of Rebagit, there was no accumulation of rebamipide in the body.
