Ilaprazole (trade name Noltec) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used in the treatment of dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD/GERD) and duodenal ulcer. It is available in strengths of 5, 10, and 20 mg.
Clinical studies show that ilaprazole is at least as potent a PPI as omeprazole when taken in equivalent doses. Studies also showed that ilaprazole significantly prevented the development of reflux oesophagitis.
Ilaprazole is developed by IL-YANG Pharmaceutical (Korea), and is still under clinical trials with US FDA. It has launched in Korea and China for the treament of GU, DU, and GERD/EE.[1]
