Dextop Tablet Uses

Dextop is a medication used for the treatment of heartburn caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and erosive esophagitis. It contains the active ingredient Dexlansoprazole which is a proton pump inhibitor. It works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach and reducing acid reflux into the esophagus. Dextop is therefore effective in relieving GERD symptoms such as heartburn, and helps heal erosive esophagitis (damage caused to the esophagus from stomach acid).
