Duabit Capsule MR

Duabit Capsule MR is used to treat heartburn associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis, including healing and maintenance of healing of the esophagus. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

You should take Duabit Capsule MR as your doctor advises. The dose will depend on what you are being treated for, but it should be the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time needed to treat your condition. It should be given as an injection into the vein by a healthcare professional. It may take up to a few weeks to work properly, but your doctor will tell you how long you need to be taking it for. You should keep on taking it as prescribed even if your symptoms disappear quickly. If you are taking this medicine for a long time, your doctor may carry out regular tests to check your levels of magnesium, which can fall with this medicine.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and feeling or being sick. These tend to be mild, but talk to your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. The risk of side effects may increase the longer you take this medicine. Serious side effects are rare, but some need immediate medical attention. Ask your doctor what these are. You may be more likely to have a broken bone if you take it for a long time. It is best to avoid foods that seem to make your symptoms worse, such as rich, spicy, and fatty foods. It also helps to cut down on caffeinated drinks, such as tea, coffee, and cola, as well as alcohol.

Duabit Capsule MR is not suitable for some people. Before taking this medicine, you need to tell your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are taking medicines for HIV, have had an allergic reaction to similar medicines in the past, or have osteoporosis. Alcohol does not interfere with the way Duabit Capsule MR works. However, drinking alcohol makes your stomach produce more acid than normal. This medicine can make you feel dizzy, sleepy, or affect your vision. If this happens, do not drive, cycle, or use machinery or tools until you feel better. It is not usually recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

• Treatment of heartburn Associated with Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
• Treatment and Maintenance of Healed Erosive esophagitis

• Take Duabit Capsule MR exactly as prescribed, preferably at the same time each day, to maintain consistent acid control.
• Relief from heartburn may take a few days; continue taking the medicine regularly even if symptoms improve early.
• Avoid stopping treatment suddenly without medical advice, especially if it is being used for erosive esophagitis or maintenance therapy.
• Limit foods and habits that worsen acid reflux, such as spicy or fatty foods, late-night meals, smoking, and alcohol, to get better symptom control.
• If symptoms do not improve or worsen, or if you develop new symptoms such as persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, or difficulty swallowing, inform your doctor promptly.
• Long-term use should be reviewed periodically by a doctor, as prolonged acid suppression may be associated with nutrient deficiencies or other risks.
