Doxirazol 30 mg 14 capsules
Composition:
Each capsule contains: Dexlansoprazole 30 mg (as dexlansoprazole modified-release).
Product Description:
Doxirazol is a modified-release proton pump inhibitor (PPI) containing dexlansoprazole, the R-enantiomer of lansoprazole.
The product features a Dual Delayed Release technology that provides two consecutive releases of the active substance: the first shortly after administration, and the second a few hours later.
This dual-release profile provides prolonged acid suppression and consistent 24-hour symptom relief by inhibiting the final step of acid production in gastric parietal cells.
