Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a protective composition for gastrointestinal mucosa, for example, for inhibiting occurrence of a gastrointestinal mucosa disorder when an oral drug that induces the gastrointestinal mucosa disorder is taken. The protective composition for gastrointestinal mucosa of the present invention as a resolution for achieving the object is characterized by comprising at least a macromolecular polysaccharide, sodium hydrogen carbonate and/or magnesium carbonate, and a polyhydric alcohol. According to the protective composition for gastrointestinal mucosa of the present invention, sodium hydrogen carbonate or magnesium carbonate foams through contact with a gastric juice in stomach to thereby generate diffusing power for the macromolecular polysaccharide. This power can allow the macromolecular polysaccharide to quickly dissolve or disperse in the gastric juice and allow the macromolecular polysaccharide to effectively exert a gastric mucosa protective action.

Abstract: [Problem] To suppress the onset of adverse effects of drugs that cause gastric ulcers as an adverse effect. [Solution] The onset of gastric ulcers induced by a drug is suppressed by incorporating, into a pharmaceutical composition containing a drug having gastric ulcers as an adverse effect, a high-molecular polysaccharide that has a molecular weight of 800,000-3,000,000 and that produces a gel when a 0.3% aqueous solution thereof is added dropwise to artificial gastric juice.
