Medicine Description eso-protocol 40mg
eso-protocol 40 mg Capsules is a medication that belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by irreversibly inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system located in the gastric parietal cells, effectively blocking the final step of acid production in the stomach. By reducing gastric acid secretion, eso-protocol decreases stomach acidity, which aids in the healing of acid-related conditions such as erosive esophagitis and reduces the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Through its mechanism, it also creates a less acidic environment, which promotes healing of ulcers and helps in the eradication of H. pylori when used in conjunction with appropriate antibiotics.
