Indicated for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, duodenal and gastric ulcers, NSAID-associated ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and H. pylori eradication (in triple/quadruple therapy). The enteric-coated pellets dissolve only in the intestine for optimal absorption and minimal degradation in stomach acid.
