About Ilatap 10mg Tablet

ILAPRAZOLE belongs to the class of antiulcer medications called 'proton pump inhibitors' used to treat peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcer, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus) and dyspepsia. Gastric reflux or hyperacidity occurs when our stomach produces a large amount of digestive acid irritating the sphincter located at the stomach's tip. Thus, damaged sphincter leads to backflow of digestive acid into the food pipe, causing heartburn and ulcer. 

Uses of Ilatap 10mg Tablet

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Duodenal ulcer, Peptic ulcer, Dyspepsia.

Medicinal Benefits of Ilatap 10mg Tablet

ILAPRAZOLE belongs to a group of antiulcer medicines called proton pump inhibitors. ILAPRAZOLE is used to treat duodenal ulcers, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus), heartburn and erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the lining of the oesophagus). ILAPRAZOLE works by blocking the action of the enzyme known as gastric proton pump responsible for the production of acid. This reduces the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers.
