Razo 20 Tablet

Razo 20 Tablet is a medicine that helps reduce the production of acid in the stomach. It is generally prescribed for digestive problems linked to excessive acid, such as acid reflux, stomach and intestinal ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. By lowering acid levels, it relieves discomfort and aids in the healing of the stomach lining.

It is usually recommended to take this tablet on an empty stomach, ideally in the morning about an hour before eating. The exact dose and duration depend on the condition being treated and how your body responds. Taking it at the same time each day helps maintain effectiveness. Along with the medicine, making lifestyle changes such as eating light meals more frequently and limiting spicy food, fried food, tea, and coffee can further improve results.

Possible side effects
Some people may notice mild effects like headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, stomach cramps, loose stools, gas, or general weakness. These usually settle on their own, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Using this medicine for longer than a year may increase the risk of bone weakness or fractures, especially in those on higher doses. Your doctor may suggest calcium or vitamin D supplements if needed.

Another uncommon but important concern is low magnesium levels, particularly if the medicine is taken for several months. This may cause tiredness, confusion, irregular heartbeat, or muscle cramps. Blood tests may be recommended during long-term use.

Before taking this medicine
Inform your doctor if you have ever had serious liver disease, an allergic reaction to similar medicines, low bone strength, or if you are taking treatments for HIV, tuberculosis, epilepsy, or fungal infections. Alcohol should be avoided as it can worsen acid problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use this medicine only after medical advice. Since it may sometimes cause dizziness or drowsiness, be cautious while driving or using machinery.

Uses of Razo 20 Tablet

• Acid reflux and indigestion

• Stomach and intestinal ulcers

• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other conditions with excess acid

Benefits
In rare conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the stomach produces excessive acid leading to multiple ulcers and digestive problems such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. By lowering acid secretion, Razo 20 Tablet helps ease these symptoms, promotes ulcer healing, and reduces risks of further complications like bleeding.

How it works
Razo 20 Tablet belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors. It works by blocking the final step of acid release in the stomach, thereby reducing overall acid production and giving relief from heartburn, indigestion, and ulcer-related discomfort.

Safety considerations

• Alcohol: best avoided as it increases acid secretion.

• Pregnancy: use only on medical advice, as safety data in humans is limited.

• Breastfeeding: small amounts may pass into breast milk, so consult your doctor before use.

• Driving: may cause dizziness or drowsiness in some, so avoid driving if affected.

• Kidneys: usually safe in kidney disease, with no dose change required.

• Liver: generally safe, but always inform your doctor if you have a history of liver problems.

Missed dose
If you forget to take a dose, have it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Do not take extra to make up for the missed dose.
