Description

Bismuth is a metal that belongs to Group P2 of the periodic table. It has been shown to be an effective antimicrobial agent, with a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Bismuth is also used in the treatment of bowel disease, as it can bind to the ulcerated area and form a protective coating. In contrast, bismuth salts are not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but remain in the gut wall and act as a long-term anti-inflammatory drug.

Bismuth has been used in therapy groups for congestive heart failure due to its ability to stabilize blood pressure and increase cardiac output. Bismuth salts are bound to plasma proteins such as citrate and albumin via weak ionic bonds. The stability of these complexes depends on pH levels and can be broken down by high concentrations of citrate or other substances that cause competitive inhibition.
