Product Details:

VPN-20 is a 20 mg tablet designed to provide effective relief for gastrointestinal disorders by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This medication is commonly prescribed for the treatment of conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. It belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) that help heal damage caused by stomach acid overproduction.

Purposes:

• Acid Reduction: VPN-20 effectively lowers the production of stomach acid, providing relief from acid-related conditions such as GERD and peptic ulcers.
• Gastrointestinal Protection: It supports the healing of erosive esophagitis and ulcers by creating a less acidic environment in the stomach.
• Symptom Management: VPN-20 alleviates symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion, promoting better digestive health.

How To Use:

• Take VPN-20 orally with a full glass of water, with or without food.
• Swallow the tablet whole—do not crush, break, or chew it.
• Follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
• Take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent medication levels in your system.
• Do not alter the dosage or stop taking VPN-20 without consulting your healthcare provider.

Warnings:

Pregnancy:
Consult your doctor before using VPN-20 during pregnancy to evaluate potential risks and benefits.

Lactation:
Caution is advised for nursing mothers. Consult with your doctor to determine if this medication is safe during breastfeeding.

Adverse Effects:

VPN-20 is generally well-tolerated but may cause mild side effects in some individuals, including:

• Nausea or vomiting
• Headache
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Abdominal pain
• Dizziness or lightheadedness

In rare cases, more severe side effects may occur. If you experience difficulty breathing, severe stomach pain, or irregular heartbeat, seek medical attention immediately.

Cautions:

• Inform your doctor of any medical history, especially liver disease or any allergies, before starting VPN-20.
• Avoid taking VPN-20 for prolonged periods unless directed by your doctor, as long-term use may increase the risk of bone fractures.
• Do not take VPN-20 if you are also using certain medications that interact negatively with proton pump inhibitors. Discuss your current medications with your healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions.
• Be cautious if you are on a magnesium-restricted diet, as long-term use may cause low magnesium levels.

Contraindications:

• VPN-20 is contraindicated for individuals with a known allergy to proton pump inhibitors or any of its inactive ingredients.
• This medication should not be used in patients with severe liver disease without proper medical supervision.
• VPN-20 is not recommended for individuals with hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels) without close monitoring from a healthcare professional.
