Objective To observe the effect of Weichangshu Capsule (WCSC) in inhibiting experimental gastric ulcer and the damage of gastric mucosa in SD rats. Methods The experimental gastric ulcer rat models were established by ligation of pylorus, water immersing method and subcutaneous injection of indometacin, and rat models with acute damage of gastric mucosa were induced by hydrochloric acid- ethanol (HAE).Then the effect of WCSC in inhibiting experimental gastric ulcer and the damage of gastric mucosa in SD rats were observed. Results WCSC had obviously inhibitory effects on stress gastric ulcer, indometacin- induced gastric ulcer and HAE- induced acute damage of gastric mucosa. WCSC also inhibited the secretion of gastric juice and increased pepsase activity. Conclusion WCSC has counteraction on experimental gastric ulcer.
