✅ Common Uses of Dexlansoprazole:

1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD):

   • Treats heartburn and damage to the esophagus caused by stomach acid.

   • Helps heal erosive esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus).

2. Maintenance of Healed Erosive Esophagitis:

   • Prevents the recurrence of erosive esophagitis.

   • Long-term use may help reduce acid production and prevent relapse.

3. Treatment of Non-Erosive GERD:

   • Provides relief from heartburn associated with non-erosive acid reflux.

🕒 How It Works:

Dexhel blocks the proton pumps in the stomach lining, which are responsible for producing acid, leading to reduced acid secretion.
