Overview P 40mg Tablet

This 40mg tablet decreases stomach acid production. It treats acid-related conditions affecting the stomach and intestines, including heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, offering symptom relief and aiding healing. It also prevents stomach ulcers and acidity often associated with long-term painkiller use. Classified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), it should be taken once daily, preferably an hour before breakfast. Dosage depends on individual needs and response; continue as prescribed even with symptom improvement. Smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding caffeine, spicy, and fatty foods can enhance treatment. Common, usually mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and stomach ache. Persistent or bothersome effects warrant medical attention. Prolonged use (over a year) might raise the bone fracture risk, particularly at higher doses. Discuss bone loss prevention, such as calcium and vitamin D supplements, with your doctor. Inform your physician of severe liver disease, HIV medication use, prior allergic reactions to similar drugs, or existing osteoporosis before starting this medication.
