Product Details

Novoteph 20mg Capsules contain Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat conditions related to excessive stomach acid production. Esomeprazole works by inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the proton pump, which is responsible for the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This mechanism helps reduce acid levels, allowing ulcers to heal and providing relief from symptoms associated with acid reflux and heartburn.

Purposes

Novoteph 20mg Capsules are indicated for the treatment of heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, and ulcers. By effectively lowering stomach acid levels, 20mg Capsules help in healing the stomach lining, reducing irritation, and preventing further damage caused by acid. They also provide relief from discomfort and promote overall digestive health.

Warnings

Prolonged use of Novoteph 20mg Capsules may lead to low magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia) and an increased risk of osteoporosis-related fractures. Avoid combining this medication with clopidogrel, as it may reduce its effectiveness. Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors should be monitored by a healthcare professional due to the potential risk of vitamin B12 deficiency and other complications.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of 20mg Capsules include headaches, gastrointestinal discomfort, dry mouth, and skin reactions. In rare cases, serious allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis may occur. Patients should report any severe or persistent symptoms to their healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

20mg Capsules are contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to proton pump inhibitors. Patients using this medication for long-term treatment should be regularly monitored for magnesium levels and bone health. It is essential to consult a doctor before starting or discontinuing use, especially for those taking medications like clopidogrel or warfarin
