Venza capsule works by interfering with the final step of acid release in the stomach. Thus, acidity in the stomach is decreased.
Venza 20mg Capsules (Esomeprazole) belong to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Esomeprazole works by reducing the production of stomach acid, making it effective in treating conditions related to excessive stomach acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Each capsule contains the active ingredient Esomeprazole. Venza capsules are designed to provide long-lasting relief from acid-related disorders.
