Tegoprazan Uses

Tegoprazan is used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux).

How Tegoprazan works

Tegoprazan is a member of the potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) drug class. It functions by preventing the stomach lining's potassium ions, which are essential for the production of acid, from doing their job. This lessens GERD symptoms, encourages esophageal healing, and shields the esophagus from additional harm brought on by acid reflux.
