About this product
Overview
Vonov 10mg tablet contains vonoprazan, which is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication. It is used for the management of gastric acid-related disorders. Vonoprazan works by reducing the production of stomach acid, providing relief from symptoms associated with excessive gastric acid production.

- Duodenal Ulcers: Vonov 10mg tablet is effective in treating duodenal ulcers, which are ulcers that form in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). It helps in healing the ulcers and preventing their reoccurrence by reducing gastric acid secretion.
