Bisgram Tablet

What is Bisgram Tablet?

Bisgram Tablet is a gastrointestinal medicine that contains Bismuth Subcitrate 120 mg, a bismuth‑based anti‑ulcer agent. Doctors use Bisgram Tablet to help protect the stomach and duodenal lining, treat peptic ulcers and support eradication regimens for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection when combined with other drugs.​

Bismuth Subcitrate 120 mg works locally in the gut by coating ulcerated areas, reducing irritation from acid and digestive enzymes, and exerting mild antimicrobial activity against H. pylori. This targeted action makes Bisgram Tablet a useful option in comprehensive ulcer and gastritis management under medical supervision.​

Key Benefits Bisgram Tablet (Bismuth Subcitrate 120 mg)

• Helps protect the stomach and duodenal mucosa by forming a protective layer over ulcer sites, promoting healing.​

• Supports H. pylori eradication regimens when used with appropriate antibiotics and acid‑reducing medicines, thereby lowering the risk of ulcer recurrence.​

• Reduces symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, burning, indigestion and discomfort associated with peptic ulcer disease and gastritis.​

Uses & Indications Bisgram Tablet

Doctors may prescribe Bisgram Tablet containing Bismuth Subcitrate 120 mg for:​

• Treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, including ulcers linked with H. pylori infection, as part of combination therapy.​

• Symptomatic management of gastritis, dyspepsia and acid‑related upper gastrointestinal discomfort, under evaluation and guidance.​

The tablet should only be used after a healthcare professional evaluates alarm features such as weight loss, bleeding, anaemia or recurrent vomiting.​

• Mild nausea, constipation, diarrhoea or abdominal discomfort.​

Very high or prolonged doses can lead to bismuth accumulation and neurological symptoms, so long‑term self‑medication is not advised. Any allergic reaction, persistent stomach pain, or signs of bleeding such as black tarry stools or vomiting blood require urgent medical attention.​

Precautions & Contraindications Bisgram Tablet

Patients should also follow lifestyle measures such as avoiding smoking, excessive alcohol, very spicy or acidic foods and overuse of NSAIDs that can worsen ulcers.​

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is Bisgram Tablet used for?
Bisgram Tablet with Bismuth Subcitrate 120 mg is used to treat gastric and duodenal ulcers and to support H. pylori eradication regimens, as well as to relieve gastritis‑related indigestion.​

2. How does Bismuth Subcitrate 120 mg work?
It coats ulcer and inflamed areas, protects them from stomach acid and pepsin, and shows mild antibacterial activity against H. pylori, promoting healing and reducing recurrence.​

3. Can Bisgram Tablet be taken alone for H. pylori infection?
No, H. pylori therapy typically combines bismuth with antibiotics and acid‑suppressing drugs; your doctor will select the full regimen.​

Typical H. pylori or ulcer regimens last 10–14 days, though your doctor may adjust duration based on response and guidelines.​

5. Why has my stool turned black while on Bisgram?
Black or dark stools can occur because bismuth forms compounds with sulphur in the gut; this is usually harmless, but if you suspect bleeding or feel unwell, seek medical advice.​

In many ulcer regimens, Bisgram is combined with proton‑pump inhibitors (PPIs), but timing and combinations should follow a doctor’s plan.​

Long‑term unsupervised use is not recommended, as prolonged high bismuth exposure can cause toxicity; therapy should be time‑limited and monitored.​

9. What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; never double up doses.​

10. Can Bisgram Tablet be used for simple acidity or heartburn?
It may help some dyspepsia symptoms, but frequent heartburn needs evaluation to rule out serious disease and to choose the most appropriate therapy.​

Quick Tips
