Product Details

Razodex Capsules 30mg contain Dexlansoprazole, a powerful proton pump inhibitor that helps manage gastric acid-related conditions. Dexlansoprazole works by irreversibly inhibiting the H+, K+-ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells, which blocks the final step of acid production. This inhibition reduces stomach acid secretion, offering relief from acid-related issues.

• Erosive Esophagitis: Aids in the healing of erosive esophagitis and maintains healing to prevent recurrence.
• Prevention of Ulcers: Helps in the prevention of gastric and duodenal ulcers, especially in patients using NSAIDs or aspirin.
