Vonostrum 20 Mg Tablet

Vonostrum 20 mg Tablet contains Vonoprazan 20 mg, a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB). It works by inhibiting the H?/K?-ATPase enzyme in the stomach lining, effectively reducing gastric acid secretion. Compared to traditional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), Vonoprazan offers faster onset of action, more potent acid suppression, and sustained relief from acid-related disorders.
