Heartburn caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis. Erosive esophagitis is caused by acid-related damage to the esophagus.
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. This rare condition is characterized by the formation of tumors in the digestive tract.
H. pylori infections when used in combination with other treatments, such as antibiotics. This infection causes ulcers in part of your intestine.
This drug is also used to prevent stomach ulcers due to the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
