Furmecil 15mg Capsule

About

Furmecil 15mg Capsule contains a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) designed to significantly reduce the production of stomach acid. This medication works by irreversibly binding to the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system, commonly known as the proton pump, located in the gastric parietal cells. By inhibiting this crucial enzyme, Furmecil effectively blocks the final step in acid secretion, leading to a sustained reduction in gastric acidity.

It is primarily used for the treatment and prevention of various acid-related disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and erosive esophagitis. The sustained acid suppression provided by Furmecil helps to alleviate symptoms, promote healing of damaged tissues, and prevent recurrence of acid-related complications.
