About Civono 10 Tablet 10's
Civono 10 Tablet 10's belongs to the group of medications known as potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCAB), primarily used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as reflux esophagitis, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers. It is also used to treat Helicobacter pylori infection in combination with clarithromycin and/or amoxicillin. Reflux esophagitis occurs when stomach acid irritates the esophagus, often due to GERD. Gastric ulcers are sores on the stomach lining, commonly caused by H. pylori or NSAIDs. Duodenal ulcers form in the small intestine, typically caused by H. pylori or excess stomach acid.
Civono 10 Tablet 10's contains Vonoprazan. It works by inhibiting the H+, K+-ATPase enzyme in the stomach's parietal cells, which reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This enzyme is responsible for pumping acid into the stomach. Unlike other inhibitors, it doesn't require acid activation and can selectively target parietal cells, binding to the active pumps reversibly.
