RAZODEX 60MG TABS
-
Dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), suppresses gastric acid secretion by targeting the gastric acid pump (H+/K+ ATPase) within the parietal cells of the stomach. This medication forms a covalent bond with two cysteine residues in the proton pump's α-subunit, resulting in effective and long-lasting inhibition of gastric acid secretion. The mechanism involves the accumulation of dexlansoprazole in the acidic environment of the parietal cells' secretory canaliculus, where it is converted to its active form. This active form then binds to the proton pump, inhibiting its function and reducing gastric acid production.
