Hi, cyra-d is a proton pump inhibitor and it decreases acidity of the gastric contents. In skin burns, it has been seen that there is increase in the acidity of the gastric contents which leads to gastric ulcer formation called curling ulcers. Thats why usually a proton pump inhibitor drug is added in the management of skin burns to avoid development of any gastric ulcer.
