Description
Product Introduction:
Nexpro 20 Tablet is a medication used to treat various conditions related to excessive stomach acid production, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and abdominal pain. This medicine also promotes the healing of ulcers and can be used to prevent stomach ulcers caused by certain medications, particularly NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
Salt Composition:
Esomeprazole (20mg)
Key Benefits:

- Heals Peptic Ulcers: Nexpro 20 Tablet aids in the healing of peptic ulcers by reducing stomach acid.

How Nexpro 20 Tablet Works:
