Hello! I am being treated for gastric hemorrhagic gastropathy I take Mesopral and Alugastrin at night. Please answer whether the introduction of Essex One instead of Alugastrin will be a good choice. Will it be effective in the treatment of erosions? Best regards

As a pharmacist, I can only give general information about medications, while the treatment of hemorrhagic gastric gastropathy should be decided by a gastroenterologist. Esoxx One and Alugastrin are medical devices designed for people with acid reflux problems. However, they have a slightly different composition, which also differs in action. We wrote about the difference between medicines and medical devices here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/wyroby-medyczne-a-leki-i-suplementy-diety The action of Esoxx One is based on a strong degree of adhesion primarily to the mucous membrane of the esophagus and stomach. All components (hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate and Poloxamer 407) coat the gastrointestinal mucosa, forming a protective film on it. This action protects the mucous membrane from the irritating effects of acidic gastric contents, especially at night and in the morning. Regular use of Esoxx One can also have a positive effect on the regeneration of microerosions and damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, which in the long run also translates into a reduction in gastric hyperacidity. Esoxx One will also work well with non-acid reflux. I enclose a link to a page where you can check the availability of Esoxx One in pharmacies in Poland and book the drug in a selected pharmacy: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/27635/esoxx-one-proszek-do-wytworzenia-plynu/ulotka/174937 The action of the drug Alugastrin is based on neutralization of gastric juice. Thanks to this, it relieves the symptoms of heartburn, as well as prevents damage to the gastric and duodenal mucosa and the formation of ulcers during the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Through the GdziePoLek.pl service you can check the availability of Alugastrin and book it at the pharmacy of your choice:https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/3972/alugastrin-zawiesina/apteki?pvid=10332#internetowe Introducing Essex One instead of Alugastrin may be considered, but it's a decision your doctor should make. If you are unable to get to your doctor, the GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-gastrologiem
