DDR 30MG

About

DDR 30MG contains Dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system, or the "proton pump," in gastric parietal cells. This action effectively reduces gastric acid secretion, providing sustained acid suppression. It is designed with a dual delayed-release formulation, allowing for two separate releases of medication, which helps maintain consistent plasma concentrations over a prolonged period. This unique delivery system contributes to its efficacy in managing acid-related disorders.

The medication is primarily indicated for the healing of all grades of erosive esophagitis, maintaining healed erosive esophagitis, and treating symptomatic non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Its mechanism of action ensures significant and prolonged reduction in stomach acid, thereby alleviating symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation, and promoting the healing of esophageal damage caused by acid reflux.
