Description:
Sompraz 20 Tablet is a medication used to treat conditions associated with excessive stomach acid production, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By reducing stomach acid, it helps alleviate symptoms and promote healing. Additionally, Sompraz 20 Tablet is used to prevent stomach ulcers caused by medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
For best results, take Sompraz 20 Tablet exactly as prescribed, typically on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning or at least one hour before meals. Even if your symptoms improve, continue taking the medication until your doctor advises otherwise. Long-term use may require periodic testing of your magnesium levels, as this medication can lower magnesium in the body.
Common side effects include headache, constipation or diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea. These are usually mild, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Prolonged use of Sompraz 20 Tablet may increase the risk of bone fractures, so it is essential to follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. It is also advisable to avoid foods that exacerbate your symptoms, such as spicy, fatty, and rich foods, as well as caffeinated drinks and alcohol.
Before taking Sompraz 20 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are on HIV medication, have a history of allergic reactions to similar medicines, or suffer from osteoporosis. Although alcohol does not directly interfere with Sompraz 20 Tablet, it can increase stomach acid production, making symptoms worse. If you experience dizziness, sleepiness, or vision problems, avoid driving, operating machinery, or engaging in activities that require full alertness. This medication is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare provider.
