Peptard-D Capsule SR

Peptard-D Capsule SR is a combination medication designed to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux. It helps ease the discomfort caused by excess stomach acid, including heartburn, irritation, or stomach pain. By reducing acid production and promoting smoother passage of gas, it alleviates bloating and abdominal discomfort.

For optimal results, Peptard-D Capsule SR should be taken on an empty stomach, following the exact dosage and schedule prescribed by your doctor. The treatment duration may vary depending on your condition and response. Stopping the medication too soon can cause symptoms to return or worsen. Always inform your healthcare provider about other medicines you are taking, as interactions may occur.

Possible Side Effects
While most people tolerate Peptard-D Capsule SR well, some may experience temporary side effects such as diarrhea, mild abdominal pain, dry mouth, headache, gas, or fatigue. If you feel unusually dizzy or sleepy, avoid driving or activities that require focus. Alcohol can worsen drowsiness and should be avoided. Simple lifestyle adjustments, such as drinking cold milk and avoiding coffee, tea, spicy foods, or chocolate, can enhance the medication’s effectiveness.

Before starting this treatment, it is essential to discuss any existing kidney or liver issues with your doctor. Pregnant women, those planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding mothers should consult their healthcare provider before use.
