General Information



Product introduction
Digpod-IV Injection is also used to prevent stress ulcers in seriously ill patients and is administered before anesthetic medication to help prevent aspiration-related complications. It belongs to a class of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). This medicine is administered into a vein by a healthcare professional and will only be given to you if your doctor thinks that an injection is more suitable for you at the moment than a tablet. The dose will depend on your underlying condition and how you respond to the medicine. Additionally, your doctor will decide the duration of treatment. You can increase the efficiency of the treatment by eating smaller meals more often and avoiding caffeinated drinks (like tea and coffee), and spicy or fatty foods.
The most common side effects observed with this medicine include injection site reactions, nausea, headache, dizziness, flatulence, diarrhea, stomach pain, and fundic gland polyps. These symptoms are generally mild but if they bother you or do not go away, consult your doctor. Talk to your doctor about ways to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis), like taking calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Digpod-IV Injection is not suitable for some people. Before receiving this injection, you need to tell your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are taking medicines for HIV, have ever had an allergic reaction to similar medicines in the past, or suffer from bone loss (osteoporosis). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor. Avoid drinking alcohol as it can make your stomach produce excessive acid and may worsen your symptoms.
Uses of Digpod Injection
- Acidity
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
- Peptic ulcer disease
Benefits of Digpod Injection
Acidity is a common condition where excess stomach acid causes a burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), bloating, and discomfort. Digpod-IV Injection helps by reducing acid production in the stomach, relieving symptoms, and promoting better digestion and comfort.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe, leading to symptoms like persistent heartburn, regurgitation, and throat irritation. Digpod-IV Injection helps by lowering acid levels, protecting the esophagus from damage, and reducing the chances of complications like inflammation or ulcers.
Peptic ulcer disease occurs when open sores form in the stomach or upper small intestine lining, often due to acid damage. Digpod-IV Injection reduces stomach acid, allowing ulcers to heal effectively, relieving pain, and preventing recurrence or bleeding.

Quick tips
- Digpod-IV Injection is administered as an injection into a vein by a doctor or a nurse.
- Inform your doctor right away if you develop watery diarrhea, stomach pain, or fever that does not go away, as these could be signs of a serious intestinal infection.
- Long-term or high-dose use of Digpod-IV Injection may increase the risk of weak bones (osteoporosis) and low levels of minerals such as magnesium and vitamin B12. Your doctor may advise calcium and magnesium supplements or regular blood tests if prolonged therapy is needed.
- Consult your doctor immediately if you notice swelling (edema), reduced urination, lower back pain, fatigue, rash, or fever, as these could be signs of a kidney-related problem.
- Tell your doctor if you are taking atazanavir, clopidogrel, or methotrexate, or if you have a history of liver disease, as dose adjustment or monitoring may be required.
