Aldepraz D Capsule SR

Description

What is Aldepraz D Capsule SR and how does it help?
Aldepraz D Capsule SR is a combination of two medicines used to treat acidity, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) — a condition in which stomach acid flows back into the food pipe (esophagus). It works by improving the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food pass more easily through the digestive tract. It also reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, providing relief from acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

Can the use of Aldepraz D Capsule SR cause diarrhea?
Yes, the use of Aldepraz D Capsule SR can cause diarrhea. In case you experience diarrhea, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small, frequent sips. Avoid taking fatty or fried foods along with this medication. Talk to your doctor if diarrhea persists and you notice signs of dehydration, like less urination with dark colored and strong-smelling urine.

While taking Aldepraz D Capsule SR, which foods should be avoided?
You should preferably avoid foods that cause acidity and heartburn as they will only worsen your condition, for example, fried or spicy food, butter, oil, and juices, caffeinated drinks like cola or tea, drinks from citrus fruits like lemon water or orange juice, and alcohol.

Can I consume alcohol while taking Aldepraz D Capsule SR?
No, alcohol intake is not advised with Aldepraz D Capsule SR. Alcohol itself does not affect the working of this medicine, but it can increase acid production. This may further cause the worsening of your symptoms.

Can I stop taking Aldepraz D Capsule SR if I feel better?
If you have been taking Aldepraz D Capsule SR for a long time, stopping it abruptly may lead to increased acid production, thereby worsening your symptoms. Therefore, you must discuss any dose changes with your doctor.
