Overview Koserab 20 Tablet

AcidGard 20mg tablets lower stomach acid production. They treat acid-related conditions affecting the stomach and intestines, including acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, offering symptom relief and aiding healing. Take one tablet an hour before meals, ideally in the morning. Dosage depends on your condition and response, maintaining consistent daily timing as directed. Continue as prescribed even if symptoms improve rapidly. Smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding caffeine, spicy food, and fatty foods may help manage symptoms. Common, usually mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and stomach ache. Report persistent or bothersome effects to your physician. Prolonged use (over a year), especially at higher doses, may increase bone fracture risk. Discuss bone health (osteoporosis) prevention, including calcium and vitamin D supplements, with your doctor. Low magnesium (hypomagnesemia) can occur after three months or more of use, potentially causing fatigue, confusion, dizziness, muscle spasms, and irregular heartbeat. Your doctor may monitor magnesium levels. AcidGard 20mg is unsuitable for some individuals. Inform your doctor about severe liver disease, HIV medication use, prior allergies to similar drugs, or existing osteoporosis before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their physician. Avoid alcohol, as it increases stomach acid and worsens symptoms. Refrain from operating machinery or driving if dizziness or drowsiness occurs.
