Methiosulfonium chloride is a synthetic compound that was historically used for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and gastric hyperacidity. It acts as a gastric acid suppressant, although its precise mechanism of action is not fully elucidated. The drug is largely obsolete and not in clinical use today; it is not found in current therapeutic guidelines, and its approval status has lapsed in most regions.
No published pharmacokinetic studies specifically reporting parameters for methiosulfonium chloride in humans or animals could be identified.
