Overview Zepoxin 40mg Injection
Gastricon 40mg Injection lowers stomach acid production. It treats stomach and intestinal acid-related conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, relieving symptoms and promoting healing. Gastricon 40mg Injection also prevents stress ulcers in critically ill patients and is given pre-anesthesia to reduce aspiration risks. A proton pump inhibitor (PPI), it's intravenously administered by a healthcare professional only when deemed more appropriate than oral medication. Dosage depends on your condition and response; treatment duration is determined by your doctor, who should be consulted before stopping treatment even if symptoms subside quickly. To maximize treatment, eat smaller, more frequent meals and avoid caffeinated beverages, spicy foods, and fatty meals. Common side effects—nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, gas, diarrhea, stomach pain, and thrombophlebitis (vein inflammation)—are usually mild, but persistent symptoms require medical attention. Prolonged use, particularly over a year, may increase bone fracture risk, especially at higher doses; discuss bone loss prevention (e.g., calcium and vitamin D supplements) with your doctor. Gastricon 40mg Injection isn't for everyone; inform your doctor of severe liver disease, HIV medication use, prior allergic reactions to similar medications, or osteoporosis before use. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their physician. Alcohol should be avoided as it increases stomach acid, worsening symptoms. Refrain from operating machinery if dizziness or drowsiness occurs.
