This medication belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It reduces the secretion of stomach acid and thus helps treat conditions related to stomach acidity. It has a prolonged but delayed onset of action: it takes a few days for stomach acidity to decrease. It is used for the short-term treatment of symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn, regurgitation, etc.).
The tablets should be swallowed whole with half a glass of water, either with or without meals.
For people who cannot swallow the tablets, they may be dissolved in half a glass of still water. The resulting solution should be taken quickly (within 30 minutes). To ensure that any microgranules adhering to the sides of the glass are ingested, rinse the glass with a little water and drink it.

Usual dosage:
Adults over 18 years of age: 1 tablet per day.
Stop treatment once symptoms have disappeared. Treatment should not exceed 2 weeks without medical advice. Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without medical advice. Read the package insert carefully before use.
Drug treatment for gastroesophageal reflux is only considered when the following simple measures have failed to relieve the symptoms:
- Do not lie down within two hours of a meal;
- Do not bend forward (bend your knees to pick up objects);
- Do not wear clothing that compresses the abdomen (girdles, etc.) ;
- Raise the head of the bed by 5 to 10 cm by placing blocks under the legs or a thick pillow under the mattress;
- Avoid carbonated beverages; choose foods that are easy to digest.
These tips are intended to prevent acidic stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus during digestion.
If you smoke, continuing to smoke is a major obstacle to treatment; nicotine increases stomach acidity and reduces the effectiveness of the muscle that closes the junction between the esophagus and the stomach.
