Overview Traz 20mg Capsule

AcidGard 20mg Capsules lower stomach acid production. They treat stomach and intestinal conditions like heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, relieving symptoms and aiding healing. Take one capsule an hour before meals, ideally in the morning. Dosage depends on your condition and response; continue as prescribed even with symptom relief. Smaller, more frequent meals, and avoiding caffeine, spicy, and fatty foods can enhance treatment. Common, usually mild, side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, gas, diarrhea, and stomach ache. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Prolonged use (over a year) may increase bone fracture risk, particularly at higher doses; discuss bone loss prevention with your doctor. Inform your physician of prior or current severe liver issues, similar medication allergies, or osteoporosis before starting treatment. This medication can interact with other drugs; disclose all medications, especially those for HIV, fungal infections, tuberculosis, seizures, or blood thinners. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should seek medical advice prior to use.

Traz 20mg Capsule can be safely combined with domperidone; no adverse interactions have been clinically observed. A fixed-dose combination is also available.

Avoid this medication if you're using atazanavir or nelfinavir (HIV medications). Report any liver issues, persistent diarrhea or vomiting, bloody stools, unexplained weight loss, swallowing difficulties, stomach pain, or indigestion to your doctor. Disclose all other medications you're taking, as interactions are possible. Inform your doctor of any prior allergic skin reactions to this medicine. It's unsuitable for children under 1 year old or weighing less than 10 kg. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
Diarrhea is a possible side effect for some users. While usually mild, persistent watery stools accompanied by stomach cramps and fever require immediate medical attention.
Follow your doctor's instructions on how long to take this medication. Treatment duration varies; don't discontinue use without consulting your physician.
Prolonged use may weaken bones by reducing calcium absorption, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures (hip, wrist, spine). If you have osteoporosis or take corticosteroids (which also increase osteoporosis risk), tell your doctor before starting treatment. Discuss preventative measures with your doctor, who may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements.
Prolonged use beyond three months may cause side effects, primarily low blood magnesium leading to fatigue, confusion, dizziness, shakiness, muscle twitches, 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, along with stomach infections and vitamin B12 deficiency. This deficiency can cause anemia, manifesting as fatigue, weakness, pallor, palpitations, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, indigestion, loss of appetite, gas, or 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. The impact of reduced vitamin C levels is unclear, so vitamin C supplements aren't advised.
Individuals with heart conditions may use this medication as directed by their physician. Note that interactions with some cardiac medications (such as clopidogrel and digoxin) are possible, requiring close medical supervision if taken concurrently.
