Product introduction
Prolanz Junior 15mg Tablet MD is a medicine that reduces the amount of acid produced in your stomach. It is used for treating acid-related diseases of the stomach and intestine, such as acid reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and some other stomach conditions associated with excessive acid production.
Prolanz Junior 15mg Tablet MD is also used to prevent stomach ulcers and acidity. This medicine should be taken one hour before a meal. The dose and duration of the treatment will depend on your underlying condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep on taking it as prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear quickly. 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 of this medicine include nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. These symptoms are generally mild, but if they bother you or do not go away, consult your doctor. Long-term use of this medicine may increase the risk of side effects. For instance, using this medicine for more than one year may increase your risk of bone fractures, especially with higher doses. Talk to your doctor about ways to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis), such as taking calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Before taking Prolanz Junior 15mg Tablet MD, you need to tell your doctor if you have severe liver problems or are taking medicines for HIV. Also, if you 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 before taking it. Prolonged use of painkillers increases the risk of peptic ulcers.

Benefits of Prolanz Tablet MD
In Acidity
Acidity occurs when the stomach produces excess acid, leading to a burning sensation in the chest or upper abdomen, often after meals or while lying down. This can cause discomfort, bloating, and interfere with daily life. Prolanz Junior 15mg Tablet MD helps reduce the amount of acid in the stomach, relieving the burning sensation and discomfort. It improves digestion and allows individuals to eat and rest more comfortably, restoring daily comfort and well-being.
In Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as acid reflux, is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe, causing heartburn, chest discomfort, and irritation in the throat. If untreated, it can lead to long-term damage to the food pipe lining. Prolanz Junior 15mg Tablet MD helps control acid levels, reduces the frequency of reflux episodes, and eases associated symptoms. This leads to better sleep, less discomfort after meals, and an overall improvement in quality of life.
In Peptic ulcer disease
Peptic ulcer disease involves the formation of painful sores in the lining of the stomach or upper intestine, often caused by excess acid or infection. These ulcers can lead to stomach pain, nausea, and even internal bleeding if not managed properly. Prolanz Junior 15mg Tablet MD aids in healing these ulcers by lowering stomach acid levels, promoting faster recovery, and preventing recurrence. This helps reduce pain, supports better digestion, and allows individuals to return to normal eating habits without fear of discomfort.
