Adiza Tablet 10's
About Adiza Tablet 10's
Adiza Tablet 10's belongs to the class of antiulcer medications called 'proton pump inhibitors used to treat peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus) and dyspepsia. Gastric reflux or hyperacidity occurs when our stomach produces a large amount of digestive acid, irritating the sphincter located at the stomach's tip. Thus, a damaged sphincter leads to the backflow of digestive acid into the food pipe, causing heartburn and ulcer.
Adiza Tablet 10's contains 'Ilaprazole', which works by blocking the action of the enzyme known as the gastric proton pump responsible for the production of acid. This reduces the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers. Thus, Adiza Tablet 10's prevents symptoms of hyperacidity which includes heartburn and indigestion.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Acid reflux: The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, the mucous layer gets eroded due to excess acid production, which leads to complications like acidity, GERD, heartburn and peptic ulcer. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. A duodenal ulcer is a painful condition followed by the development of sores or ulcers in the duodenum or stomach lining (the first part of the small intestine, i.e., the duodenum).
