Abstract
Complexes of bismuth, e.g. bismuth salts, and polyacrylate, e.g. carbomer, are discloses which may be incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions for oral, oral delayed-release, and rectal administration. The complexes may be combined with an antibiotic, such as tetracycline, and an antiprotozoal agent, e.g. Metronidazole, for use in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. The treatment of inflammatory bowel disease using bismuth/polyacrylate complexes, or other bismuth preparations, is also described.
