Medicinal Benefits

Blockcid Tablet belongs to a group of antiulcer medicines called proton pump inhibitors. Blockcid Tablet is used to treat duodenal ulcers, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (reflux of gastric contents into the oesophagus), heartburn and erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the lining of the oesophagus). Blockcid Tablet works by blocking the action of the enzyme known as the gastric proton pump responsible for the production of acid. This reduces the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers and prevents the formation of new ulcers.
