Abstract

The anti-inflammatory effect of Pepsan-R that is new to the Russian Federation, used as monotherapy in 50 patients with 0-first degree gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), was evaluated. The drug contains 2 active ingredients: guaiazulene and dimeticone. The mechanism of its action is to suppress mast cell degranulation and to generate a protective layer on the gastroesophageal mucosa. The efficacy of the agent was clinically shown in 100% of the patients (10% of them needed larger doses of the drug). Four-week positive changes were morphoendoscopically seen in 50% of the patients. No side effects were recorded
