Dexilant 60Mg 28Cap

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

Dexilant (DEXLANSOPRAZOLE) works by inhibiting the proton pump enzyme in the stomach cells, leading to reduced acid production. This effect helps heal the esophagus from acid-related inflammation and reduces symptoms associated with reflux. This medication is effectively used in treating erosive esophagitis and managing symptoms related to gastroesophageal reflux.
