Product Details:

Daplazole 60 mg capsule is a specialized medication designed to provide relief from conditions associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis. This capsule contains dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This helps alleviate symptoms of heartburn, promotes healing of the esophagus, and prevents the recurrence of erosive esophagitis. Daplazole 60 mg is formulated to be effective both as a short-term treatment and for long-term maintenance.

Purposes:

Daplazole 60 mg is indicated for the short-term treatment of heartburn associated with non-erosive GERD and the short-term treatment of all grades of erosive esophagitis. Additionally, it is used to maintain healing of erosive esophagitis and to provide relief from heartburn for up to six months.

Warnings:

• Pregnancy: While there is no evidence of risk in humans, pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before using Daplazole 60 mg to ensure it is the best option for their condition.
• Lactation: Caution is advised when using this medication while breastfeeding. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and safer alternatives if necessary.

Patients taking Daplazole 60 mg may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, rash, hives, itching, difficulty breathing or swallowing, irregular or fast heartbeat, excessive tiredness, dizziness, lightheadedness, muscle spasms, uncontrollable shaking, seizures, severe diarrhea, stomach pain, and fever. If any of these symptoms occur or worsen, seek medical attention immediately.

• Malignancy: Before starting treatment with Daplazole 60 mg, it is crucial to rule out any underlying malignancy (e.g., cancer or tumors) as this medication may mask symptoms and delay diagnosis. Regular monitoring during treatment is recommended.
