ACILOC RD (15 tablets)

Description

ACILOC RD (15 tablets) is a sustained-release version of Ranitidine, which is an H2 receptor antagonist (H2 blocker). It works by blocking the histamine H2 receptors in the stomach lining, reducing the amount of acid the stomach produces. The sustained-release form of Ranitidine ensures that the medication is released gradually over time, providing long-lasting relief from acid-related issues.

Key Benefits of ACILOC RD:

• Long-lasting acid suppression: The sustained-release formulation provides consistent and extended relief from heartburn, acid reflux, and stomach discomfort associated with excess acid.
• Peptic ulcer treatment: By reducing stomach acid, ACILOC RD helps in the healing of peptic ulcers, preventing further damage to the stomach lining caused by excessive acidity.
• GERD management: ACILOC RD helps reduce acid reflux in GERD patients, preventing damage to the esophagus and alleviating discomfort.
• Prevention of acid-related discomfort: ACILOC RD can also be used to prevent acid reflux and heartburn, particularly for people with chronic conditions or those who need longer-term acid control.

ACILOC RD is particularly useful for people who experience nighttime heartburn or acid reflux since it provides extended relief that lasts through the night.

Dosage and Usage: ACILOC RD is typically taken once daily, usually in the evening or as prescribed by a healthcare provider. It should be swallowed whole and not chewed or crushed to maintain its sustained-release action. Dosage and treatment duration depend on the severity of the condition and should follow a doctor’s recommendations.

Potential Side Effects: Most people tolerate ACILOC RD well, but some may experience mild side effects, including:

• Headache
• Dizziness
• Nausea or stomach discomfort
• Fatigue

In rare cases, more serious side effects such as liver dysfunction or allergic reactions may occur. If you experience symptoms like yellowing of the skin, severe abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.

Precautions: Before using ACILOC RD, inform your healthcare provider if you have:

• Liver or kidney problems, as the medication may require dosage adjustments.
• Allergic reactions to ranitidine or similar medications.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding, as ACILOC RD should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed.

ACILOC RD is a part of a complete treatment plan that may also involve dietary changes, avoiding trigger foods, and adopting lifestyle changes to manage acid-related conditions effectively.
