Recipan 40mg Tablet

About

Recipan 40mg Tablet is an oral proton pump inhibitor (PPI) formulated to provide effective and sustained reduction of gastric acid secretion. The active compound in Recipan selectively and irreversibly blocks the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system, or proton pump, found in the secretory canaliculi of gastric parietal cells. This action prevents the release of hydrogen ions into the stomach lumen, thereby inhibiting the final common pathway of acid production. Recipan is widely prescribed for the management of various acid-related disorders, including symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), healing of erosive esophagitis, treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers, and long-term management of pathological hypersecretory conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Its once-daily dosing regimen offers convenience and consistent acid control, promoting mucosal healing and providing symptomatic relief for patients suffering from chronic acid reflux and peptic ulcer disease.
