NCIt synonyms : CBP Granules; Bismuth Colloidal Pectin Granules;
NCIt definition : A granule-based formulation containing colloidal bismuth pectin (CBP), with potential
cytoprotective activities. Upon oral administration of the colloidal bismuth, bismuth
inhibits peptic activity, increases mucosal secretions of prostaglandins and bicarbonate
and acts as a barrier to prevent damage by acids. It also prevents adhesion of Helicobacter
(H.) pylori to epithelial cells and can inhibit enzymes secreted by H. pylori. This
protects against ulcer formation and may help heal existing ulcers.;
