ACILOC 150 (30 tablets)

ACILOC 150 (30 tablets) is a medication that contains Ranitidine, an H2 receptor antagonist (H2 blocker) that works by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach. This helps in treating acid-related conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, gastritis, and heartburn by decreasing stomach acid and promoting healing of the stomach lining.

Key benefits of ACILOC 150 include:

• Acid Reduction: Ranitidine blocks the H2 receptors in the stomach lining, which are responsible for acid secretion. By reducing stomach acid, it helps relieve symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, and irritation caused by excess stomach acid.
• Treatment of Peptic Ulcers: ACILOC 150 promotes the healing of ulcers in the stomach and duodenum by reducing the acid that irritates and damages the ulcerated tissue.
• GERD Management: It helps manage symptoms of GERD by decreasing acid reflux, reducing the irritation and damage caused to the esophagus by stomach acid.

ACILOC 150 is commonly used in the treatment of:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): A condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort.
• Peptic ulcers: Sores in the stomach lining or duodenum that can be aggravated by excess stomach acid.
• Acid reflux: A condition where acid from the stomach rises into the esophagus, causing discomfort and irritation.
• Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining caused by excessive acid or infections.

Dosage and Usage: ACILOC 150 is usually taken once or twice daily, depending on the condition being treated and the doctor’s recommendation. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. It is best taken before meals or as directed by a healthcare provider.

The dosage may vary based on the severity of the condition, and the treatment duration should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Potential Side Effects: ACILOC 150 is generally well-tolerated, but like all medications, it may cause some side effects, including:

• Headache
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Stomach upset or nausea
• Diarrhea or constipation

In rare cases, it may cause more severe side effects, such as:

• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
• Unusual tiredness or weakness
• Changes in liver function (such as jaundice)

If any severe side effects occur, or if there is no improvement in symptoms after the prescribed treatment period, it is important to consult a healthcare provider.

Precautions:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: ACILOC 150 should only be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding if deemed absolutely necessary by a healthcare provider. It is important to consult a doctor before using this medication in these cases.
• Kidney and liver issues: Individuals with impaired kidney or liver function should use this medication with caution and under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
• Drug interactions: Ranitidine may interact with other medications, including blood thinners and certain antifungal drugs, so it’s important to inform the doctor about all other medications being taken.

ACILOC 150 should be used as part of a complete treatment plan, which may include lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes (avoiding spicy or fatty foods), quitting smoking, and managing stress, to help prevent the recurrence of symptoms.
