Product Details:
VPN-10 10 mg tablets are specifically designed to help manage and treat gastrointestinal conditions related to excessive stomach acid production.

This medication is effective in treating short-term and long-term issues caused by acid overproduction.

- Healing Support: Promotes healing in conditions like erosive esophagitis, and assists in the recovery of ulcers.
- Digestive Health: Provides long-lasting relief from conditions caused by stomach acid, allowing for more comfortable digestion and protection of the gastrointestinal lining.
