Vonix Tablet 20 mg contains Vonoprazan, a potent potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) used to treat acid-related gastrointestinal disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori infection. Vonoprazan provides rapid, sustained, and effective suppression of gastric acid, making it a superior alternative to traditional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in certain cases.

Excess gastric acid can cause irritation of the stomach or esophagus, leading to heartburn, discomfort, and complications such as ulcers or erosive esophagitis. Vonix 20 mg works to control acid secretion, promote healing of the gastrointestinal mucosa, relieve symptoms, and prevent recurrence of acid-related disorders.

How Vonix Tablet Works

Vonoprazan, the active ingredient in Vonix, is a potassium-competitive acid blocker, which works by directly inhibiting the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme in gastric parietal cells:

• Blocks gastric acid secretion quickly and effectively

• Maintains stable gastric pH for extended periods, ensuring consistent symptom relief

• Promotes healing of erosive esophagitis and peptic ulcers

• Enhances the efficacy of antibiotics for H. pylori eradication

• Reduces the risk of recurrence of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders

Unlike traditional PPIs, Vonoprazan does not require activation in acidic conditions, providing faster onset and stronger acid suppression.

Indications

Vonix Tablet 20 mg is indicated for:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including severe or erosive forms

• Peptic ulcers, including gastric and duodenal ulcers

• H. pylori eradication therapy as part of combination therapy with antibiotics

• Prevention and management of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers in high-risk patients

• Long-term management of severe or recurrent acid-related gastrointestinal disorders

This higher-strength formulation is particularly suitable for patients requiring enhanced acid suppression or those not responding adequately to standard doses.

Dosage and Administration

• The recommended dose is 20 mg once daily, taken orally before meals.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew.

• Treatment duration depends on the condition:

  • GERD or peptic ulcers: typically 4–8 weeks

  • H. pylori eradication: usually 7–14 days as part of combination therapy

• Dose adjustments may be needed for patients with hepatic impairment or other comorbidities.

Patients should follow their physician’s instructions and maintain consistent dosing to ensure optimal therapeutic results.

Precautions

• Use under medical supervision in patients with liver or kidney impairment.

• Inform your doctor about all medications being taken to prevent drug interactions.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before use.

• Seek immediate medical attention if there is persistent abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or black/tarry stools, as these may indicate serious complications.

• Avoid abrupt discontinuation in long-term users without medical advice.
