Pharmacology

Trupan 20 is a proton pump inhibitor that covalently binds to the H+/K+ATPase enzyme system at the surface of the gastric parietal cell, suppressing the last step in gastric acid generation. This action inhibits both basal and induced stomach acid production, regardless of whether the stimulus is present for more than 24 hours.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Trupan 20 is classified as a pregnancy category B by the US Food and Drug Administration. However, no appropriate and well-controlled trials in pregnant women have been conducted. Because animal reproduction studies do not always anticipate a human response, this medication should only be taken during pregnancy if absolutely necessary. Trupan 20 has been found to pass through human milk. As a result, a choice should be taken on whether to stop breastfeeding or stop taking the medicine, taking into account the drug’s value to the mother.

Precautions & Warnings
