About Dexol Tablet

aDexol Tablet belongs to a class of drugs called 'proton pump inhibitors' used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is characterised by the formation of tumours in the upper part of the small intestine, which leads to excess acid production.

Dexol Tablet contains 'Dexrabeprazole' that works by blocking the action of proton pumps that are involved in producing stomach acid. Thereby, Dexol Tablet reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe. Thus, it provides relief from heartburn symptoms related to acid reflux.
