Abstract:
Rebamipide is a mucoprotective drug which was developed in Japan in 1990. The therapeutic effect of rebamipide based on the induction of cyclooxygenase-2 and increasing level of prostaglandins, inhibition of oxygen free radicals production, epidermal growth factor stimulation, vascular endothelial growth factor, nitric oxide, and decreasing of lipid peroxidation and neutrophils migration. The combination of proton pump inhibitors and rebamipide is more effective in relieving of gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms and reducing recurrence rate of disease. Using rebamipide in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease is justified because this drug has a unique mechanism of action, which eliminating the main stages of pathogenesis of the disease.
