Rapid Release and 24-Hour Acid Control: Acid Reflux Medicine
ZEGERID gets into the bloodstream rapidly
As an acid reflux medicine, proton pump inhibitors work by getting into your blood stream and eventually shutting down some of the pumps that create acid.
ZEGERID is the First and Only Immediate-Release Proton Pump Inhibitor, providing rapid release of the active ingredients and continued 24-hour acid control.
In short, ZEGERID gets into your bloodstream rapidly. And one dose of this acid reflux drug a day provides 24-hour acid control.
Immediate Release or Delayed Release Acid Reflux Medicines
Except for ZEGERID, all proton pump inhibitors are delayed release acid reflux drugs. Delayed release proton pump inhibitors use a coating, called an enteric coating, to protect the acid reflux medicine from acid degradation while passing through the stomach. This coating delays the acid reflux medicine from getting into the bloodstream.
ZEGERID does not have an enteric coating and the acid reflux medicine is rapidly absorbed into the blood stream. That's why ZEGERID is the First and Only Immediate-Release oral Proton Pump Inhibitor.
