XANILO 30MG CAPSULE

XANILO 30mg Capsule contains the active ingredient Dexlansoprazole, which belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Dexlansoprazole is a modified-release PPI that works by reducing the production of stomach acid. It is used to treat various acid-related conditions and provides longer-lasting acid suppression compared to some other PPIs.

1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): XANILO 30mg Capsule is prescribed for the treatment of GERD, a chronic condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and irritation.
2. Erosive Esophagitis: It is used to heal and maintain healing of erosive esophagitis, a condition in which the lining of the esophagus is damaged due to chronic acid reflux.
3. Helicobacter pylori Eradication: Dexlansoprazole may be used as part of a combination therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which is associated with certain stomach ulcers.
