Vonov 20mg Tablet

Vonov 20mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Vonoprazan, which belongs to the class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It is prescribed for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders.

Uses:

Vonov 20mg Tablet is primarily prescribed for the following conditions:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms.

• Duodenal Ulcers: Ulcers in the upper part of the small intestine, commonly associated with Helicobacter pylori infection or NSAID use.

Vonoprazan works by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining, thereby reducing the production of stomach acid. This helps to relieve symptoms of acid-related disorders and promotes healing of ulcers.
