Indenza 40mg Capsule

About

Indenza 40mg Capsule is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), a class of medications that significantly reduce the production of gastric acid. It works by irreversibly binding to and inhibiting the H+/K+-ATPase pump, also known as the proton pump, located in the parietal cells of the stomach lining. This action effectively blocks the final step in acid secretion, providing potent and long-lasting acid suppression. It is widely used for the treatment of various acid-related gastrointestinal disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers, by allowing the damaged tissues to heal and alleviating symptoms.

Uses

• Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
• Healing of peptic ulcers (gastric and duodenal).
• Management of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
• Eradication of H. pylori (in combination therapy).
