Pariet blocks acid production in the stomach. It is prescribed for the short-term (4 to 8 weeks) treatment of sores and inflammation in the upper digestive canal (esophagus). This condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus over a prolonged period of time. Because GERD can be chronic your doctor may continue to prescribe Pariet to prevent a relapse after your initial course of treatment.

Pariet can also be prescribed for the short-term (up to 4 weeks) treatment of duodenal ulcers (ulcers that form just outside the stomach at the top of the small intestine) and for Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome a disease which causes the stomach to produce too much acid. The drug is classified as a proton pump inhibitor. It works by blocking a specific enzyme essential to the production of stomach acid. It begins reducing acid within an hour of administration.
