Medicine Description peptazol 30mg
Peptazol 30mg Capsule is a medication that belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Its primary action is to inhibit the activity of the proton pump in the parietal cells lining the stomach. This pump is responsible for secreting hydrogen ions into the gastric lumen, which contributes to the formation of gastric acid. By blocking the proton pump, lansoprazole effectively reduces gastric acid secretion, leading to a decrease in gastric acidity. This mechanism not only promotes healing of existing ulcers but also alleviates symptoms associated with excessive acid production, such as heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The reduction in acid production also allows for a more favorable environment for the healing of the mucosal lining of the stomach and duodenum.
