Aciloc RD Tablet is prescribed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux), providing relief from symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, or irritation. It works by neutralizing stomach acid and aiding the passage of gas, which helps to reduce discomfort.
You should take Aciloc RD Tablet as advised by your doctor, typically without food. The dosage depends on your condition and response to treatment, and it is important to complete the full course to avoid the recurrence of symptoms. Inform your doctor about any other medications you're taking, as interactions may occur.
Common side effects include diarrhea, stomach pain, dry mouth, headache, and gas. These usually resolve over time, but consult your doctor if they persist. The medication may also cause dizziness, so avoid driving or activities requiring concentration until you know how it affects you. Alcohol can increase dizziness, so it’s best to avoid it. Additionally, lifestyle changes like drinking cold milk and avoiding hot beverages, spicy foods, or chocolate can help improve the effectiveness of the treatment.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, or if you have liver problems, inform your doctor so they can adjust the dosage accordingly.
