Preferred Label : Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate/Aluminum Phosphate Gel;
NCIt synonyms : Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate Mixed with Aluminum Phosphate Gel;
NCIt definition : A gel composed of the sodium succinate form of the glucocorticoid hydrocortisone mixed
with aluminum phosphate, with potential protective activity. Upon oral administration
of the hydrocortisone sodium succinate/aluminum phosphate gel, the gel forms a layer
over the esophageal mucosa, which may restore and protect the esophageal membrane
against damage. Hydrocortisone exerts anti-inflammatory effects locally, may reduce
or prevent infection, may reduce the formation of connective tissue in order to prevent
postoperative esophageal stenosis and stricture, and may reduce symptoms of dysphagia
or choking, after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). The aluminum phosphate acts
as a buffer and may protect the local mucosal membrane from the acidic environment.;
