Classification:Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)

Uses:

Ilaprazole is used to treat conditions caused by too much acid in the stomach, like gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and acid reflux (GERD). It helps by reducing the acid your stomach makes, which gives relief from symptoms like heartburn, sour burps, chest discomfort, or stomach pain.

How it works:

Ilaprazole works by blocking an enzyme in the stomach called the proton pump, which is responsible for producing acid. By turning off this pump, ilaprazole reduces the amount of acid made, giving your stomach and food pipe time to heal and relieving symptoms like heartburn, acidity, and pain.
