Dexilant 30Mg 28Cap

Dexilant is a medication that belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors, used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophagitis. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach, helping to alleviate symptoms associated with acidity.

Dexilant (DEXLANSOPRAZOLE) works by inhibiting the proton pump enzyme in the stomach cells, leading to reduced acid secretion. This effect helps heal the damaged esophageal lining and reduces symptoms such as acidity and heartburn. It is effectively used in treating esophagitis caused by gastroesophageal reflux and also helps reduce the risk of symptom recurrence.
