Gastrohel (Vonoprazan 20mg)

Gastrohel (Vonoprazan 20mg) is primarily used to suppress stomach acid and is prescribed for conditions involving acid-related damage or symptoms. It is stronger and acts faster than traditional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

✅ Key Uses of Gastrohel (Vonoprazan 20mg):

1. Erosive Esophagitis (EE):

   • Healing and maintenance of the esophagus lining damaged by acid reflux.

   • More effective and faster than standard PPIs in many cases.

2. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD):

   • Treats heartburn and acid regurgitation, especially when symptoms are moderate to severe.

3. Peptic Ulcer Disease:

   • Treats gastric and duodenal ulcers caused by acid overproduction or NSAID use.

4. Helicobacter pylori Eradication (Part of Triple Therapy):

   • Used with antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin) to eliminate H. pylori, a major cause of ulcers and gastritis.

🔬 How it works:

Vonoprazan 20 mg blocks potassium-binding in the proton pump of stomach cells, rapidly suppressing acid production—often within hours—and maintaining stable acid control over 24 hours.
