How Ilaprazole Works

Ilaprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by irreversibly blocking the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells. This enzyme is responsible for the final step of acid production in the stomach.

✅ Fast Onset & Long Duration: Ilaprazole has a faster onset and longer acid suppression effect than older PPIs.
✅ Greater Acid Stability: It maintains acid suppression for 24 hours, ensuring once-daily dosing efficacy.
