Product Details

Vonozan Tablets 10mg contain Vonoprazan, a potassium competitive acid blocker (P-CAB). Unlike traditional proton pump inhibitors, Vonozan Tablets do not need activation by acid. Instead, they work by reversibly and competitively inhibiting H+, K+-ATPase, thereby significantly reducing gastric acid production. Due to its high basicity and long-lasting effect on gastric parietal cells, Vonozan effectively prevents mucosal damage in the upper gastrointestinal tract.

Purposes

Vonozan Tablets 10mg are used to manage and treat:

• Gastric Ulcers: Provides relief from the pain and discomfort caused by gastric ulcers.
• Duodenal Ulcers: Aids in the healing of ulcers located in the duodenum.
• Reflux Esophagitis: Helps treat inflammation of the esophagus caused by acid reflux.
• Prevention of Ulcer Recurrence: Prevents the recurrence of ulcers during low-dose aspirin or NSAID administration.

Warnings

• Reflux Esophagitis Management: Use Vonozan Tablets for maintaining healing only in patients with recurrent conditions. Avoid long-term maintenance if not necessary.
• Long-Term Use: If healing is achieved and there is no risk of recurrence, consider reducing the dose from 20mg to 10mg or discontinuing the medication.
• Renal Disorders: Exercise caution when administering Vonozan Tablets to patients with renal issues, as delayed excretion can lead to increased blood concentrations of the drug.
