Bistas 120mg Tablet 8s

Bistas 120mg Tablet 8s is a medication highly effective in managing disorders related to the stomach and duodenum. It is utilized to treat conditions such as gastritis or ulcers and belongs to a class of medications called gastrointestinal protectants.

This medication operates through multiple mechanisms. Firstly, it stimulates the production of mucus glycoproteins in the stomach, enhancing the stomach's protective mucus layer. Secondly, it acts as a barrier by binding to the gastric mucus, creating a shield against stomach acid (HCl). These actions collectively protect the stomach lining from the damaging effects of acid, potentially aiding in the management of gastrointestinal conditions.

Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and duration. It can be taken with or without food, but maintaining a consistent daily schedule is recommended. Swallow the tablet whole; avoid crushing, chewing, or breaking it.

Some common side effects may include dark-colored stool, nausea, vomiting, and rare occurrences of bone or joint toxicity.

Inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions or allergies before starting this medication.  Avoid using it if you have allergies to bismuth compounds or salicylates. Report any unusual symptoms promptly, especially signs of gastrointestinal bleeding or changes in stool color.  Follow the prescribed dosage to minimize potential adverse effects.

If a dose is missed, skip it and continue with the regular dosing schedule.  Avoid taking an extra dose to make up for the missed one.
