How it works
Irreversibly blocks H⁺/K⁺-ATPase (the proton pump), the final step in acid secretion. Reduces gastric acid by over 90% at standard doses.
Long-term use can reduce magnesium and B12 absorption. Do not stop suddenly after long-term use — rebound hyperacidity occurs. Consult a doctor for chronic use beyond 4 weeks.
PPIs are the most evidence-backed treatment for GERD, oesophagitis healing, and symptom control. First-line pharmacological treatment in all major gastroenterology guidelines.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
