Product Details

Novoteph Inf 40 Mg contains Esomeprazole, a powerful proton pump inhibitor. It works by irreversibly binding to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells. This binding inhibits the final step in the production of hydrochloric acid, effectively reducing acid secretion in the stomach and altering gastric pH. This action provides relief from acid-related conditions by significantly lowering the amount of acid produced.

Purposes

Novoteph Inf 40 Mg is primarily used for the treatment of heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, and ulcers. By decreasing the secretion of stomach acid, Novoteph Inf helps to alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions, promoting healing and reducing discomfort.

Warnings

Use Novoteph Inf 40 Mg with caution, especially with long-term treatment, as it may lead to hypomagnesemia or an increased risk of osteoporosis-related fractures. It is also important to avoid concomitant use with clopidogrel due to potential drug interactions. Prolonged daily use may affect vitamin B12 absorption, so regular monitoring is advised.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Novoteph Inf 40 Mg include headache, gastrointestinal upset, skin reactions, and dry mouth. Rarely, patients may experience more severe reactions such as angioedema, anaphylaxis, or fundic gland polyps. It's crucial to monitor for these adverse effects and consult your healthcare provider if any severe reactions occur.

Cautions

Novoteph Inf 40 Mg should be used with caution in patients with known hypersensitivity to proton pump inhibitors. Long-term use of this medication may lead to malabsorption of vitamin B12 and other nutrients. Ensure to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider regarding the risks of prolonged use.
