Overview Polorab 20mg Tablet

Gastracid 20mg tablets lower stomach acid production. They treat acid-related conditions affecting the stomach and intestines, including acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, relieving symptoms and aiding healing. Take one tablet an hour before meals, ideally in the morning, as directed by your physician; dosage depends on your condition and response. Maintain consistent daily intake, even if symptoms subside. Dietary modifications, such as smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding caffeine, spicy food, and fatty foods, can offer additional symptom relief. Common side effects, often mild, include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Prolonged use (over a year), particularly at higher doses, may increase bone fracture risk. Discuss bone loss prevention strategies, like calcium and vitamin D supplementation, with your doctor. Hypomagnesemia (low magnesium) has been observed in some patients after three months or more of use, potentially causing fatigue, confusion, dizziness, muscle spasms, and irregular heartbeat. Your doctor may monitor your magnesium levels. Gastracid 20mg is not for everyone. Inform your doctor before use if you have severe liver disease, take HIV medications, have prior allergic reactions to similar drugs, or have osteoporosis. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor. Avoid alcohol, which increases stomach acid and may worsen symptoms. Refrain from operating machinery or driving if dizziness or drowsiness occurs.
