Cairo – June 27, 2022 – Zeta Pharma has launched a generic version of Vonoprazan under the brand name Vonseca®, 10 & 20mg tablets.
The company held two huge scientific conferences, first at the historic Abdeen Palace in Cairo, and second at Opera house in Alexandria attended by more than 1000 doctors, headed by Professors of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy from different Egyptian universities.
The conferences highlighted FDA approval of Vonoprazan (a novel potassium-competitive acid blocker P-CABs) in two combinations to treat Helicobacter pylori infection, which typically affects the stomach or the small intestine, as Vonoprazan provides more profound and durable gastric acid suppression than traditional [proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)] that, when used empirically, translate into higher eradication rates than PPI-based triple therapy and, Vonoprazon, is also effective in the eradication of clarithromycin-resistant H. pylori strains. Vonoprazan has been clinically used for the short-term treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in Japan. The healing rate of GERD and gastric ulcers by vonoprazan is more than 95 and 90%, respectively; also, it is effective in curing PPI-resistant GERD.
“Zeta Pharma continues its leadership in offering the Egyptian’s patient the latest treatment that provide solutions to unmet needs in different therapeutic areas” said Dr.Faris Salma Business Development manager at Zeta Pharma.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Zeta Pharma is the market leader in Gastroesophageal reflux disease with its generic product, Nexicure MUPS (Esomeprazole).
