Uses

Zila 10 Tablet is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and stomach or intestinal ulcers. The detailed uses of Zila 10 Tablet are as follows:

  • Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Zila 10 Tablet helps by reducing the backflow of stomach acid into the food pipe, relieving heartburn and preventing damage to the oesophagus.
