Overview Azol 20 Capsule

Gastro-acid reducer Azol 20 Capsules diminishes stomach acid production. It treats stomach and intestinal conditions like heartburn, reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, alleviating symptoms and aiding healing. Optimal intake is one hour pre-meal, ideally in the morning. Dosage is condition- and response-dependent; continue as prescribed even with rapid symptom relief. Smaller, more frequent meals, alongside avoidance of caffeine, spicy foods, and fatty meals, enhances treatment efficacy. Common mild side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Persistent or bothersome symptoms warrant medical attention. Prolonged use (over a year) may raise bone fracture risk, particularly at higher doses; discuss bone health (osteoporosis prevention) with your physician. Prior to use, inform your doctor of any history of severe liver disease, azole allergy, or osteoporosis. Interactions are possible with other medications; disclose all current medications, especially HIV, antifungal, tuberculosis, anti-epileptic, or certain anticoagulant drugs. Pregnant or lactating individuals should seek medical counsel before use.

FAQs on Azol 20 Capsule

Azol 20 Capsule can be safely used with domperidone; a combined formulation is also available. This combination effectively treats reflux esophagitis, heartburn, and stomach and intestinal ulcers by reducing stomach acid (Azol 20 Capsule) and improving gut motility (domperidone). No clinically significant adverse interactions have been reported.
Avoid this medication if you're using atazanavir or nelfinavir (HIV medications). Report liver problems, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, bloody stools, unexplained weight loss, swallowing difficulties, stomach pain, or indigestion to your doctor. Disclose all other medications you're taking, as interactions are possible. Inform your doctor of any prior allergic skin reactions to this medicine. This medication is not for children under 1 year old or weighing less than 10 kg. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
Diarrhea is a possible side effect for some users. While usually mild, persistent watery stools accompanied by stomach cramps or fever require immediate medical attention.
Follow your doctor's instructions on how long to take this medication. Treatment length varies, so always consult your doctor before stopping.
Long-term use may weaken bones by reducing calcium absorption, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures (hip, wrist, spine). If you have osteoporosis or take corticosteroids (which also increase osteoporosis risk), tell your doctor before starting treatment. Discuss bone health prevention with your doctor; they may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements.
Prolonged use beyond three months may cause side effects, most significantly low blood magnesium, leading to fatigue, confusion, dizziness, shakiness, muscle twitching, or irregular heartbeat. Use exceeding one year increases the risk of bone fractures (due to low blood calcium), particularly in the hip, wrist, or spine, along with stomach infections and vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause anemia, resulting in further fatigue, weakness, pallor, palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, appetite loss, gas, and neurological symptoms like numbness, tingling, and gait disturbances.
This medication can lead to vitamin B12 and vitamin C deficiencies. Oral vitamin B12 absorption requires stomach acid, which this medicine reduces. Vitamin B12 supplementation may be necessary. The impact of reduced vitamin C levels is unclear, so vitamin C supplements are not advised.
Individuals with heart conditions may use this medication as directed by their physician. Note that interactions with some cardiac medications (such as clopidogrel and digoxin) are possible, requiring close medical supervision if used concurrently.
