Mechanism Of Action Of Lansoprazole

  • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) secretion into the gastric lumen is a process regulated mainly by the H (+)/K (+)-ATPase of the proton pump, expressed in high quantities by the parietal cells of the stomach.
  • proton pump inhibitor that inhibits the secretion of gastric acid by irreversibly blocking the enzyme system of hydrogen/potassium (H+/K+-exchanging ATPase), the “proton pump” of the gastric parietal cell.

Therapeutic Indications Of Peptazol 30 Mg Capsules

  • Duodenal ulcers (a sore that forms at the beginning of your small intestine)

  • NSAID-associated ulcer (sore that forms in your gut due to excessive use of NSAIDs)
  • GERD (acid reflux also known as “heartburn”): is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet (“food pipe”) which may become inflamed and painful.
