Evaluation of the effectiveness of pectin with trepang extract in the complex therapy of NSAID-associated lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract

Objective: to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a biologically active pectin supplement with trepang extract in patients with NSAID-associated upper gastrointestinal lesions. Material and methods: a prospective observational study included patients aged 18–75 years with NSAID-associated upper gastrointestinal lesions. We compared two groups of patients: the first group (n=25) received a combination of standard medications and a pectin complex with trepang extract, while the second group (n=25) received standard therapy in accordance with clinical guidelines. Results : the group of patients receiving the combination therapy showed statistically significant improvements in treatment outcomes . Conclusion: the use of a pectin complex with trepang extract as an adjunct to standard therapy enhances the effectiveness of treating NSAID-related gastropathies.
