Peptard 20 Tablet 1*15

Product Overview
Peptard 20 Tablet is a medication designed to reduce excess stomach acid. It is commonly used to manage acid-related conditions affecting the stomach and intestines, including acid reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By lowering stomach acid, it helps relieve discomfort and supports healing of affected areas.

How to Take Peptard 20 Tablet
This medicine is typically taken one hour before meals, preferably in the morning. Your doctor will determine the correct dose based on your condition and how you respond to treatment. For optimal results, take it consistently at the same time each day. Even if your symptoms improve quickly, continue the medication as prescribed. Making lifestyle adjustments such as eating smaller meals more frequently and limiting caffeine, spicy, or fatty foods may further enhance symptom relief.

Possible Side Effects
Some people may experience mild side effects including nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, bloating, diarrhea, or stomach pain. If these persist or cause discomfort, contact your doctor. Prolonged use may increase the risk of bone fractures, particularly at higher doses. Discuss preventive measures like calcium and vitamin D supplementation with your healthcare provider. Low magnesium levels have been reported in some patients taking this medicine for three months or longer, which can cause fatigue, confusion, muscle twitches, or irregular heartbeat. Doctors may monitor magnesium levels during extended use.

Precautions
Before starting Peptard 20 Tablet, inform your doctor if you have severe liver issues, are on HIV medications, have experienced allergic reactions to similar drugs, or have a history of bone loss. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a doctor prior to use. Alcohol can increase stomach acid and worsen symptoms, so it should be avoided. If the medication causes dizziness or sleepiness, refrain from driving or operating machinery.
