How ARMEZ 20MG CAPSULE Works
ARMEZ 20MG CAPSULE works by irreversibly inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase pump found in the stomach lining. This action reduces acid production in the stomach, helping to heal ulcers, ease heartburn, and improve other symptoms related to excessive acid levels. By lowering acid production, it reduces irritation, promotes healing, and helps control symptoms like nausea and vomiting.
