Vonostrum 10 Mg Tablet

Vonostrum 10 mg Tablet contains Vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) used to reduce stomach acid. It is more potent and faster-acting than traditional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Vonoprazan blocks the H?/K?-ATPase enzyme in the stomach lining, which helps reduce acid secretion.
