Astozole D 10mg/20mg Capsule

Description

Product Description
Astozole D 10mg/20mg Capsule is a prescription medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux. It helps alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. Additionally, it neutralizes excess stomach acid and facilitates the easy passage of gas, providing relief from stomach discomfort.

This medication is typically taken on an empty stomach, as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage and duration will depend on your specific condition and how your body responds to the treatment. It’s essential to follow your doctor’s recommendations and continue the medication as directed, even if you start feeling better. Stopping the medication prematurely may result in a return of symptoms and potential worsening of your condition. Always inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you’re taking, as some may interact with Astozole D.

Salt Composition / Key Ingredients

• Domperidone (10mg)
• Omeprazole (20mg)

How to Use
Astozole D 10mg/20mg Capsule should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. It is to be consumed on an empty stomach. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the capsule. Your doctor will guide you on the appropriate dose and duration of treatment based on your condition.

Side Effects
Most side effects associated with Astozole D are mild and resolve over time. Common side effects include:

• Diarrhea
• Stomach pain
• Dryness in the mouth
• Headache
• Flatulence (excessive gas)
• Fundic gland polyps (a rare side effect)

If any of these symptoms persist or become bothersome, or if you experience severe side effects like dizziness, contact your doctor immediately. As the medication can cause dizziness, avoid activities that require full concentration (such as driving) until you understand how the medicine affects you. It is also advised to avoid alcohol, as it can exacerbate dizziness.

Restrictions
Before taking Astozole D, inform your doctor if:

• You are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• You have any liver diseases, as your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your liver function.
• You are taking other medications, as there could be potential interactions.

How It Works
Astozole D 10mg/20mg Capsule is a combination of two active ingredients: Domperidone and Omeprazole.

• Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food to pass through the stomach more easily.
• Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, providing relief from acid-related issues like heartburn and indigestion.

Together, these ingredients help control excess stomach acid production and enhance gastrointestinal motility, providing relief from GERD symptoms.
