Chexid D 30mg/40mg Capsule

Product Overview

Chexid D 30mg/40mg Capsule is a prescription medication used to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux. It helps alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, stomach discomfort, and irritation. The medicine works by neutralizing stomach acid and easing gas passage, thereby reducing bloating and discomfort.

How to Use

For best results, take Chexid D 30mg/40mg Capsule on an empty stomach as directed by your healthcare provider. It is typically taken once daily for the duration prescribed. Stopping the medicine too soon may cause your symptoms to return or worsen. Always inform your doctor about other medications you are taking, as they may interact with this treatment.

Side Effects

Some of the more commonly reported side effects include diarrhea, gas buildup, stomach pain, dry mouth, headache, and nausea. These side effects are generally temporary and subside as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if you experience prolonged or troubling symptoms, consult your doctor. The capsule may also cause drowsiness or dizziness, so avoid driving or operating machinery until you are aware of how it affects you.

Precautions

Before starting treatment, let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as this medication may not be suitable. Patients with severe liver disease should also consult their healthcare provider for appropriate dosing. Making certain lifestyle changes, like consuming cold milk and avoiding spicy foods, chocolate, tea, or coffee, can enhance the benefits of the medication.

Uses

Chexid D Capsule is prescribed for:

• Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux)

Benefits

GERD is a chronic condition where excess stomach acid causes discomfort and irritation. Chexid D 30mg/40mg Capsule helps by lowering acid production and relieving symptoms like heartburn and indigestion. Following the prescribed regimen is essential for effective results. Alongside medication, simple adjustments—such as identifying trigger foods, eating smaller meals, losing weight if needed, and avoiding meals close to bedtime—can further alleviate symptoms.

How It Works

Chexid D Capsule contains two active ingredients: Domperidone and Esomeprazole. Domperidone acts as a prokinetic agent, improving the movement of food through the stomach and intestines. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that decreases stomach acid production, helping to ease discomfort from acid reflux and indigestion.
