What is Tegoprazan?
A medication taken by mouth that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach by blocking a protein called the potassium-competitive acid blocker, or P-CAB. It is used to treat conditions like acid reflux, erosive esophagitis, and peptic ulcers by working faster than older acid-reducing drugs. Tegoprazan offers rapid relief and is often effective even when other acid medications have not worked well.
