Benexate (BEX) is an anti-ulcer agent used in the treatment of acid-related disorders. It is unique in its inability to form salts that are both non-bitter and soluble.[1][2]

Medical uses

Benexate is approved from treatment of gastric ulcer in Japan.[3]

Mechanism of action

The mechanism of action of benexate involves promotion of prostaglandin synthesis, protein secretion, and blood flow stimulation in the gastrointestinal tract.[4]
