Vonoprazan is a potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB). It is prescribed for acid reflux (GERD), erosive oesophagitis, stomach and duodenal ulcers and H. pylori infection. Below you will find how it is used, how it works, its possible side effects and the brands of Vonoprazan you can order online from Sargodha.

What is Vonoprazan used for?

Vonoprazan is an acid blocker used for acid reflux (GERD), erosive oesophagitis, stomach and duodenal ulcers and as part of treatment for H. pylori infection. It acts quickly and is often used when other acid medicines have not controlled symptoms.

How Vonoprazan works

Vonoprazan blocks the stomach acid pump through a different route than traditional PPIs, binding to it reversibly. It reduces acid fast and keeps it low for a long time, whether or not you have eaten.

Side effects of Vonoprazan

Many people take Vonoprazan without any trouble. When side effects do occur they are usually mild, and may include:

• Constipation or diarrhoea
• Nausea
• Stomach discomfort
• Headache
• Rise in liver enzymes

Seek medical help for severe diarrhoea, black stools, vomiting blood, a serious rash or signs of liver trouble such as yellowing of the skin.

Before you take Vonoprazan

• Take it exactly as your doctor prescribes and finish the full course if used for H. pylori.
• Tell your doctor about liver disease and all medicines you take.
• Report persistent symptoms rather than extending the course yourself.
• Check with your doctor before using it in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
