Ilaraz-20 Tablet 10's

Ilaraz-20 Tablet belongs to the class of antiulcer medications called 'proton pump inhibitors used to treat peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers, 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, a damaged sphincter leads to the backflow of digestive acid into the food pipe, causing heartburn and ulcer.

This reduces the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers. Thus, Ilaraz-20 Tablet prevents symptoms of hyperacidity which includes heartburn and indigestion.
