About Kabvie 20 Tablet 10's

Kabvie 20 Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medications known as potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCAB), primarily used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as reflux esophagitis, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers. It is also used to treat Helicobacter pylori infection in combination with clarithromycin and/or amoxicillin. Reflux esophagitis occurs when stomach acid irritates the esophagus, often due to GERD. Gastric ulcers are sores on the stomach lining, commonly caused by H. pylori or NSAIDs. Duodenal ulcers form in the small intestine, typically caused by H. pylori or excess stomach acid.

Kabvie 20 Tablet 10's contains Vonoprazan. It works by inhibiting the H+, K+-ATPase enzyme in the stomach's parietal cells, which reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This enzyme is responsible for pumping acid into the stomach. Unlike other inhibitors, it doesn't require acid activation and can selectively target parietal cells, binding to the active pumps reversibly.

Take Kabvie 20 Tablet 10's for the duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. Some common side effects may include diarrhoea, bloating, stomach pain, nausea, and indigestion. These effects are usually temporary and do not require medical attention. However, if they continue or worsen, see your doctor for advice.
