Summary

This study tested whether fexuprazan, a new stomach acid reducer, can prevent or control gastritis (stomach inflammation) symptoms in people who need to take systemic steroids for at least 4 weeks. 42 adults with respiratory diseases were randomly assigned to take either fexuprazan or the standard drug lansoprazole for 4 weeks. The main goal was to see if fexuprazan better reduced gastritis symptoms compared to the standard treatment.
