Benefits of Flopanta-CT Capsule

In Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)

Flopanta-CT 3 mg/40mg Capsule reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.

Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores or ulcers develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine).

You need to keep taking the medicine as it is prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.

FAQs

Flopanta-CT Capsule

Which is the best time to take Flopanta-CT 3 mg/40mg Capsule?

Take Flopanta-CT 3 mg/40mg Capsule exactly as directed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food. To prevent heartburn and acid indigestion, take it 30-60 minutes before eating food or drinking beverages as that can lead to indigestion. Follow all directions as advised.

What is gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when the stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus (the tube which connects your mouth and stomach). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus. Symptoms include chest pain usually after eating, which might be worse at night, and difficulty in swallowing.

Can I take Flopanta-CT 3 mg/40mg Capsule if I am pregnant?

Speak with your doctor if you conceive or plan on conceiving while taking Flopanta-CT 3 mg/40mg Capsule. Some studies have shown that it is unsafe to use during pregnancy as it may harm the fetus.

Can I drink alcohol with Flopanta-CT 3 mg/40mg Capsule?

No, alcohol is usually avoided while taking Flopanta-CT 3 mg/40mg Capsule as it may increase the acidity and cause acid reflux in the food pipe (esophagus) causing heartburn (painful burning in chest). This would decrease the effect of this medicine and can aggravate your existing condition.
