It is also instrumental in promoting the healing of erosive esophagitis caused by stomach acid.
It falls under the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). These medications work by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining. This action reduces the secretion of stomach acid, effectively addressing acid related symptoms and promoting the healing of esophageal damage.
