Check the dosage form and strength:

Uses

Medicinal Benefits

Biolan 30mg Capsule belongs to a group of antiulcer medicines called proton pump inhibitors. Biolan 30mg Capsule is used to treat intestinal and stomach ulcers, inflammation of food pipe, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus), heartburn, regurgitation, ulcers caused by the usage of NSAIDs, infections caused by Helicobacter pylori when given along with an antibiotic, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Biolan 30mg Capsule works by blocking the action of the enzyme known as gastric proton pump that is responsible for the production of acid. This helps in reducing the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers.
