Medicine Description fastcure 20mg
Fastcure 20mg Capsule is a medication that contains omeprazole, which operates as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It effectively reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells. This inhibition leads to a decrease in acid production, thereby facilitating healing of the stomach lining and esophagus. The reduction in acidity also helps alleviate symptoms associated with acid reflux and provides an environment conducive to eradicating Helicobacter pylori when combined with appropriate antibiotics.
