Lyom 40mg Injection belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) primarily used to treat Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (overproduction of acid due to the pancreatic tumour). It may also be used for the treatment of gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
Lyom 40mg Injection contains omeprazole, which works by inhibiting the actions of the gastric proton pump which is responsible for gastric acid secretion. Lyom 40mg Injection inhibits stomach acid production and alleviates symptoms of Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
