Product Details

Wilsop 30mg is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that contains Dexlansoprazole, a medication designed to reduce gastric acid production. This is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis. By targeting the gastric proton pump, Wilsop 30mg effectively inhibits the final step of acid production in the stomach, providing relief from heartburn and other symptoms related to excess acid.

Purposes

Wilsop 30mg is primarily indicated for the healing of all grades of erosive esophagitis and to maintain the healing of these lesions. Additionally, it is used for treating heartburn associated with symptomatic non-erosive GERD. This medication is recommended for use in patients aged 12 and above, offering relief from heartburn and promoting the healing of esophageal damage.
