For @Aaaaaaa: If the cause of reflux is dysfunction of the gallbladder, this medicine may be effective. Therapy can last up to several months or more. The maximum duration of such therapy has not been determined. It is important to monitor liver function parameters – AST (GOT), ALT (GPT) and γ-GT every 4 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment, and then every 3 months. In order to assess the effectiveness of treatment and early detection of calcifications in bile deposits, a radiological examination of the gallbladder (oral cholecystography) should be performed 6-10 months after the start of treatment, depending on the diameter of the deposits. Pictures (review and contrast) should be taken both standing and lying down (ultrasound monitoring).
Thank you for the information on the size of the tablet. As for my question about the duration of treatment with this reflux drug: You write that "the indication for the use of this drug is not the treatment of reflux". The gastrologist prescribed me this drug for biliary reflux. Currently, I can not buy it in virtually any pharmacy. Do you think this drug will help in the treatment of so-called biliary reflux? And how long does therapy with this drug last?

For @Aaaaaaa: The tablet contains a high dose of the active substance and may be difficult to swallow. You can break it in half to facilitate its adoption. The indication for the use of this drug is not the treatment of reflux. Indications for its use are: - Dissolution of cholesterol gallstones with a diameter not exceeding 15 mm, permeable to X-rays, in patients in whom, despite the presence of stones, the activity of the gallbladder is preserved. - Symptomatic treatment of primary biliary cirrhosis of the liver, provided that there is no decompensated cirrhosis of the liver.
Are Ursocam tablets difficult to swallow? How long does it take to treat reflux with this drug?
Thank you very much for the information and explanations.

How does Ursocam relate to reflux? One of the indications for use is gastritis caused by bile regurgitation, the so-called biliary reflux. Does Ulcomed lower hydrochloric acid levels? According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, Ulcamed treats ulcers and gastritis by forming a protective layer (a type of patch) and helps to break further irritation caused by hydrochloric acid. However, it does not reduce the level of the acid itself. Can it also be used if reflux is accompanied by atrophy of the gastric mucosa? Yes, according to the manufacturer's information, you can use it in this case. Are Ulcomed tablets difficult to swallow? This is difficult to estimate, because it is a matter of subjective assessment of the patient. Ulcomed is in the form of white, round (10 mm in diameter) film-coated tablets. In my opinion, they will be easy to swallow.
Good morning. Thank you for the information. Could you tell me how Ursocam relates to reflux? In the leaflet I read that it has an indication in the treatment of liver diseases ... In addition, Ursocam is very difficult to access... Does Ulcomed lower hydrochloric acid levels? Can it also be used if reflux is accompanied by atrophy of the gastric mucosa? Are Ulcomed tablets difficult to swallow?
