Gastric acid reducer, Acilox 20mg tablets, diminishes stomach acid production. Indicated for various gastrointestinal disorders including heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, it alleviates symptoms and aids healing. Optimal intake is one hour pre-meal, ideally mornings. Dosage varies based on individual response and condition; consistent use is crucial, even with rapid symptom resolution.

Common, usually mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention.

Concurrent medications, especially HIV treatments, antifungals, tuberculosis medications, anticonvulsants, and certain anticoagulants, necessitate physician consultation for potential interactions.

Long-term use may decrease calcium absorption, causing osteoporosis and increasing the risk of fractures (hip, wrist, spine). If you have osteoporosis or take corticosteroids (which increase osteoporosis risk), tell your doctor before starting therapy. Discuss preventative measures with your doctor, who may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements.
Prolonged use beyond three months may cause side effects, most notably 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, alongside stomach infections and vitamin B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause anemia, resulting in fatigue, weakness, pallor, palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, appetite loss, flatulence, and neurological issues like numbness, tingling, and gait problems.
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. However, the impact of reduced vitamin C levels is unclear, so vitamin C supplements are not advised.
