Overview Pnx 40mg Tablet
Aciphex 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 promoting healing. These tablets also prevent stomach ulcers and acidity often associated with long-term painkiller use. Classified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), they 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 pain. Persistent or bothersome symptoms warrant medical attention. Prolonged use, especially over a year, might increase bone fracture risk, particularly at higher doses. Discuss bone loss prevention strategies, such as calcium and vitamin D supplements, with your doctor. 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 prior to use.
