Overview Panguard 40 Tablet

Gastracid 40mg tablets diminish stomach acid production. They treat stomach and intestinal conditions linked to excess acid, including heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, alleviating symptoms and aiding healing. Gastracid 40mg also prevents stomach ulcers and acidity often caused by long-term painkiller use. Classified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), this medication should be taken once daily, one hour before a meal, ideally in the morning. Dosage varies based on individual needs and response. Continue use as directed, even if symptoms subside rapidly. Smaller, more frequent meals, alongside avoidance of caffeine (coffee, tea), spicy food, and fatty foods, enhances treatment effectiveness. Common, usually mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Prolonged use, particularly exceeding one year, may increase bone fracture risk, especially at higher doses. Discuss bone loss prevention strategies, such as calcium and vitamin D supplementation, with your doctor. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any severe liver disease, HIV medication use, prior allergic reactions to similar drugs, or pre-existing osteoporosis. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice before use.
