ESCOR Z 20 TAB 20.S

About

ESCOR Z 20 TAB combines a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), esomeprazole, with the essential trace element zinc. Esomeprazole works by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system, commonly known as the proton pump, in gastric parietal cells. This action effectively reduces gastric acid secretion, providing significant relief from acid-related conditions and promoting the healing of esophageal erosions and peptic ulcers. By maintaining a less acidic environment, it helps prevent further damage and allows the body's natural healing processes to occur. Zinc, on the other hand, is a vital mineral involved in numerous physiological processes, including immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis. Its inclusion aims to support overall health, potentially aiding in mucosal integrity and immune response, which can be particularly beneficial in conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract or during periods of increased physiological stress. This combination offers a comprehensive dual approach to managing gastrointestinal health, addressing both potent acid suppression and crucial nutritional support for tissue repair and immune function.
