Mechanism of action

Zulbex is an antiulcer agent from the group of proton pump inhibitors (H + / K + -ATP-ase), it is metabolized in the parietal cells of the stomach to active sulfonamide derivatives, which inactivate the sulfhydryl group H + / K + -ATP-ase.
Blocks the final stage of secretion of HCl, reducing the content of basal and stimulated secretion, regardless of the nature of the stimulus. It has a high lipophilicity, easily penetrates into the parietal cells of the stomach and concentrates in them, providing a cytoprotective effect and increasing the secretion of bicarbonate.
The antisecretory effect after oral administration of 20 mg occurs within 1 hour and reaches a maximum after 2-4 hours; Inhibition of basal and food-stimulated acid secretion after 23 hours after the first dose is 62 and 82%, respectively, the duration is 48 hours. After the end of the reception, the secretory activity is normalized within 2-3 days.
In the first 2-8 weeks of therapy, the concentration of gastrin in the serum increases and returns to baseline within 1-2 weeks after withdrawal. It does not affect the central nervous system, cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
