Irsogladine
Irsogladine
Irsogladine (pronunciation: ir-so-gla-dine) is a medicine used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.
Etymology
The term 'Irsogladine' is derived from the chemical name isoquinoline, ring, sodium, and gladine (a suffix used in pharmaceutical nomenclature).
Usage
Irsogladine is primarily used to treat gastric ulcers and gastritis, conditions that cause inflammation in the stomach lining. It works by enhancing the protective lining of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby preventing damage from stomach acids.
Mechanism of Action
Irsogladine acts by increasing the levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the gastric mucosa. This, in turn, enhances the protective barrier of the gastrointestinal tract and inhibits the secretion of gastric acid.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Irsogladine include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In rare cases, it may cause allergic reactions such as rash, itching, and swelling.
