Seclo is used to treat various gastrointestinal conditions related to acid production. Specifically, it is indicated for:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), including reflux esophagitis and acid reflux disease
- Duodenal and benign gastric ulcers
- Eradication of Helicobacter pylori in peptic ulcer disease, in combination with antibiotics
- Prophylaxis of acid aspiration (reducing the risk of acid entering the lungs during surgery)
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES), a condition where the stomach produces too much acid.
In essence, Seclo reduces acid production in the stomach, thereby alleviating symptoms and promoting healing in the aforementioned conditions.
