Tablet Cyra is primarily used to treat various gastrointestinal conditions related to stomach acid production. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which helps to heal ulcers and relieve symptoms of acid reflux.
Here's a breakdown of its uses:
Common Uses of Cyra Tablet
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| Duodenal Ulcers | Cyra helps to heal sores in the lining of the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). |
| Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) | This is when stomach acid flows back up into the oesophagus. Cyra reduces acid and relieves symptoms like heartburn. |
| Heartburn | Cyra provides relief from the burning sensation caused by stomach acid irritating the oesophagus. |
| Erosive Oesophagitis | Helps heal the damage to the oesophageal lining that's caused by acid reflux. |
| Helicobacter pylori Infections | When used in conjunction with antibiotics, Cyra helps eradicate Helicobacter pylori, a bacteria that can cause ulcers. |
| Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome | This is a rare condition where tumors cause the stomach to produce too much acid. Cyra helps manage this excessive acid production. |
How Cyra Works:
- Cyra belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
- PPIs work by blocking the enzyme in the stomach lining that produces acid.
- By blocking this enzyme, less acid is produced, giving the stomach lining time to heal.
