Proton 20Mg 14Tab

Proton is a medication used to treat conditions of increased stomach acidity, such as peptic ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease. It belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors, which work to reduce acid production in the stomach. This medication is commonly used to relieve symptoms associated with heartburn and excess acid.

Proton works by inhibiting the proton pump enzyme in the stomach cells, thereby reducing acid secretion. This leads to a decrease in symptoms associated with heartburn and ulcers, and helps heal the lining of the stomach and esophagus. It is considered effective in treating chronic conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease and is also used as part of combination therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection.
