Antodine 40 mg – 30 Film-Coated Tablets
Available at Pharmaegy Pharmacy. Use as directed by your doctor.
Antodine 40 mg provides a more potent suppression of stomach acid, making it the preferred choice for nighttime acid control and active ulcer treatment.
Primary Indications:
Active Gastric & Duodenal Ulcers: The standard dose for healing active sores in the stomach or duodenum.
Severe GERD: For patients with significant acid reflux or nighttime symptoms that do not respond to lower doses.
Erosive Esophagitis: To provide a high-acid-reduction environment that allows the lining of the esophagus to heal from chemical burns caused by acid.
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Management of pathological conditions where the body produces massive amounts of acid.
Secondary Indications:
Prevention of Recurrence: Sometimes used as a strong preventative measure in high-risk patients.
Hospitalized Patients: To prevent "stress ulcers" or bleeding in the digestive tract during severe illness.
Usage: Usually one tablet (40 mg) daily at bedtime for ulcer healing (typically for 4–8 weeks), or as directed by a physician for severe reflux.
Important: * Kidney Caution: Because it is cleared by the kidneys, patients with moderate to severe renal impairment may need the dose reduced (often to 20 mg) to avoid confusion or dizziness.
Drowsiness: Though rare, high doses can cause dizziness or fatigue.
