Introduction to Piker 40mg Tablet
Piker 40mg Tablet is designed to help manage excess stomach acid and related digestive issues. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as heartburn, acid reflux, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By reducing acid production, it not only eases discomfort but also supports the healing of the stomach and intestinal lining.

Piker 40mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and should ideally be taken about one hour before meals, preferably in the morning. The exact dose depends on your condition and your response to treatment. Consistency is important, even if symptoms improve quickly. You can further support treatment by eating smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding caffeine, spicy, or fatty foods.
