Description:
Zinetac 150mg Tablet is an acid-reducing medication used to treat and prevent conditions caused by excess stomach acid, such as heartburn, indigestion, stomach ulcers, and acid reflux. It can also be prescribed to prevent stomach ulcers and heartburn that may result from the use of certain painkillers. By decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces, Zinetac helps relieve symptoms and promotes healing of the stomach lining.
The dosage and duration of treatment depend on your specific condition and should be followed exactly as prescribed by your doctor. For occasional heartburn or indigestion, it may only be needed for a short period, while longer use may be required to treat or prevent ulcers and chronic acid-related conditions. Taking the medicine regularly, as directed, helps in preventing future flare-ups. You can also support the treatment by making lifestyle changes, such as eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding spicy, fatty, or acidic foods.
Most people tolerate Zinetac 150mg well, but common side effects may include headache, constipation, drowsiness, tiredness, and diarrhea. These effects are usually mild and go away over time or when the medication is discontinued. If any side effects persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor.
Before starting the medicine, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver issues, as your dosage may need to be adjusted. Also, share details of any other medications you are taking, since drug interactions can occur. Zinetac is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when used under medical supervision. However, it’s best to avoid alcohol, as it can increase stomach acid and worsen your symptoms.
