About DDR 60 Capsule

DDR 60 Capsule is used to treat heartburn caused by stomach problems and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, erosive oesophagitis. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when gastric acid reaches the oesophagus and causes pain, heartburn, and inflammation. Heartburn is a condition in which a person feels the stomach's burning feeling from the stomach to the chest or neck. Erosive oesophagitis is a condition in which the oesophagus gets damaged by harmful acid, resulting in inflammation, scarring and ulcers. The oesophagus is a tube that connects the mouth to the stomach.

DDR 60 Capsule works by blocking the action of the enzyme known as the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. This reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach, resulting in the healing of the ulcers and preventing the formation of new ulcers.
