Vonogress tablet is used for the treatment and prevention of sores in the lining of the stomach or intestine. It contains vonoprazan as the main ingredient, which lowers the amount of acid the stomach makes.
Vonoprazan is a medication that reduces stomach acid by blocking the proton pump, an enzyme in the stomach cells. This process halts the final step of acid production. Unlike other medications, vonoprazan does not require stomach acid to function and can accumulate in the stomach cells regardless of their activity. It temporarily binds to the proton pumps, allowing them to work effectively.
Swallow this medicine whole with plenty of water. You may take it with or without food. Common side effects of Vonogress tablet include diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea, high blood pressure, and indigestion. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is essential to consult your healthcare provider.
Uses
- Vonogress tablet is used to heal damage to the esophagus caused by excess stomach acid (erosive esophagitis) and alleviate associated heartburn.
- It also helps maintain healing and prevent recurrence of heartburn after the esophagus has healed. When prescribed with other antibiotics (such as amoxicillin alone or amoxicillin and clarithromycin), it helps eliminate Helicobacter pylori bacteria.
Contraindications
- Do not take Vonogress tablet if:
- You are allergic to vonoprazan or any of the other ingredients of this medicine. Allergic reactions to vonoprazan have included severe reactions such as anaphylaxis.
- You are taking rilpivirine-containing medicines (used to treat HIV). Because Vonogress tablet reduces stomach acid, it can make rilpivirine less effective.
