What Does a GI Mucosal Protectant Do?

A gastrointestinal mucosal protectant should protect the mucosal lining. This protection can be preventative as well as restorative. Veterinary Gastrafate® is formulated to have enhanced muco-adherence. It engages the mucosal lining on contact providing support to cellular and sub-cellular (receptors) elements of the mucosal.
When gut dysfunction occur because of mucosal irritation, erosion, infection or inflammation, Veterinary Gastrafate® support on contact those mucosal mechanisms used to reverse the dysfunction.
Excessive diarrhea, vomiting, ileus, bloating or distention should be minimized by a good GI mucosal protectant. Colic due to erosions and ulceration should also be minimized by a mucosal protectant.
Veterinary Gastrafate® is the only muco-adherent protectant available that addresses all these symptoms simultaneously. That's why many veterinarians like prescribing Veterinary Gastrafate® for nearly every "stomach issue".
