Description:

Axid Neo is a proton pump
inhibitor that suppresses gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of
the H+/K+-ATPase in the gastric parietal cell. By acting specifically on
the proton pump, Axid Neo blocks the final step in acid production, thus
reducing gastric acidity. This effect is dose-related up to a daily dose of
20 to 40 mg and leads to inhibition of gastric acid secretion.
