Aciloc Rd 20 Tablet 15

Aciloc RD 20 Tablet is typically used for managing the following health conditions:

• Acidity issues often linked with poor diet and lifestyle habits

• Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the oesophagus

• Refractory GERD cases that are not adequately controlled by proton pump inhibitors alone

• Certain gastrointestinal disorders that benefit from reduced stomach acid and improved gut motility.

Here's how you should take Aciloc RD 20 Tablet:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Avoid crushing or chewing it.

Aciloc RD 20 Tablet is taken orally.

Aciloc RD 20 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Domperidone (10 mg): As a prokinetic agent, domperidone increases the contractility of the esophageal sphincter and accelerates gastric emptying. This action prevents the reflux of stomach contents back into the esophagus, thereby reducing heartburn and regurgitation.

• Omeprazole (20 mg): Classified as a proton pump inhibitor, omeprazole targets the proton pumps in your stomach's parietal cells. By inhibiting these pumps, omeprazole successfully reduces the production of stomach acid. This decrease in acidity aids in healing the damaged esophageal lining and provides symptomatic relief.

• Keep Aciloc RD 20 Tablet in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Store at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Avoid exposure to excessive heat or cold.

• Ensure that the medication is kept out of reach of children.

• Do remember to use this medicine before its expiration date.

• For managing acidity and heartburn, aim to maintain a balanced diet. Include fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which can help keep your stomach full and prevent overeating.

• Try to limit intake of spicy and fatty foods, which might trigger GERD symptoms. It's best to avoid eating heavy meals close to bedtime, as it can worsen acid reflux during sleep.
