Overview
Vocinti 20mg Tablet contains vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker used to treat acid-related conditions of the stomach and oesophagus, including gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and stomach ulcers.
Vonoprazan works by strongly and rapidly blocking acid production in the stomach, allowing irritated tissue in the oesophagus or stomach to heal and relieving symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation.
How it Works
Vocinti blocks the proton pump in the stomach lining by competing with potassium, strongly and rapidly reducing acid production. This differs from older acid-reducing medicines that require activation in an acidic environment, giving vonoprazan a fast onset of action from the very first dose.
Directions for Use
Take the tablet once daily, with or without food, swallowed whole with water, at the same time each day.
Dosage
The usual adult dose is 20mg taken once daily, or as prescribed by your doctor based on the condition being treated and treatment duration.
