Overview Licotop 40 Tablet

GastriCalm 40mg tablets decrease stomach acid production. They treat stomach and intestinal conditions like heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, relieving symptoms and aiding healing. GastriCalm 40mg is also used to prevent ulcers and acidity caused by long-term painkiller use. A proton pump inhibitor (PPI), it should be taken one hour before meals, ideally in the morning. Dosage depends on individual needs and response; continue as prescribed, even if symptoms improve rapidly. Smaller, more frequent meals, and avoiding caffeine, spicy, and fatty foods enhances efficacy. Common, usually mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and stomach ache. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Prolonged use (over a year) may increase bone fracture risk, particularly at higher doses. Discuss bone loss prevention, such as calcium and vitamin D supplements, with your physician. Inform your doctor of severe liver disease, HIV medication use, prior allergic reactions to similar drugs, or pre-existing osteoporosis before starting treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before use.
