Product Details

Promto Tablets 20 mg contain Rabeprazole Sodium, a proton-pump inhibitor that effectively reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme at the parietal cell. This inhibition is both basal and stimulated, regardless of the triggering stimulus, making it highly effective for managing conditions related to excessive stomach acid.

Purposes

Promto Tablets 20 mg are indicated for the treatment of active duodenal ulcers, active benign gastric ulcers, and symptomatic erosive or ulcerative Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The medication offers relief from the symptoms associated with these conditions and promotes healing of the affected areas.

Warnings

1. Promto Tablets 20 mg should be used with caution in patients with severe hepatic dysfunction, as the drug's metabolism might be impaired.
2. During pregnancy, Promto Tablets should only be used when clearly necessary. Patients are advised to discuss the potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider.
3. Long-term use of Promto Tablets or at higher doses may increase the risk of bone fractures, particularly in older adults. Regular monitoring is advised for patients on prolonged therapy.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Promto Tablets 20 mg include headaches, diarrhea, and nausea. Less frequent adverse effects include rash, myalgia, chest pain, dry mouth, and dizziness. Rarely, patients may experience gastritis, weight gain, or blood disorders such as thrombocytopenia and neutropenia.

Cautions

Before starting treatment with Promto Tablets 20 mg, it is important to rule out the possibility of malignancy, as the drug's therapeutic response does not eliminate the presence of gastric or esophageal cancer. Long-term users, especially those on therapy for more than a year, should undergo regular check-ups to monitor their condition.
