This medicine works by reducing the amount of acid production in the stomach. Sunpepcin is also used to treat overproduction of gastric acid (Zollinger-Ellison
Syndrome, multiple endocrine adenomas) and symptoms of inflammation of the food pipe, due to acid reflux, and for the maintenance of stomach ulcers in patients which are at reduced dosage after healing of an active ulcer.
