Indication
Pariet is used for the treatment of stomach ulcers, ulcers in the duodenum (the area of the small intestine that lies just after the stomach), the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
In combination with two antibiotic agents, Pariet is used for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori. Helicobacter pylori is a bacteria that is strongly linked to stomach ulcerations and chronic gastritis.
Pariet relieves the symptoms of reflux and ulcers by slowing down the secretion of acid by the cells that line the stomach. It does this by inhibiting a single type of enzyme (a protein that allows other chemical reactions to occur faster) called a 'proton pump' that is needed to produce acid. So, by inhibiting this enzyme, the final stage in acid production is stopped.
