What is Vonoprazan?

Vonoprazan is used in adults to reduce stomach acid and promote healing of erosive esophagitis (damage to your esophagus caused by stomach acid).

Vonoprazan is also used in combination with antibiotics for treating infections caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).

Vonoprazan may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

You should not use vonoprazan if you are allergic to it, or if you use:

  • rilpivirine-containing products.

Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had:

  • low levels of calcium in your blood (hypocalcemia);
  • low blood levels of potassium or magnesium;
  • if you take a diuretic ("water pill"); or
  • liver or kidney disease.

It is not known if vonoprazan will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

Ask a doctor if it is safe to breastfeed while using this medicine.
