Stomacid 75mg/5ml Suspension

Stomacid 75mg/5ml Suspension, made by Werrick Pharmaceuticals Pakistan Ltd, is an H2-receptor blocker. Its active ingredient is Ranitidine 75mg/5ml, and it is used for acidity, heartburn, acid reflux, stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers. Pack size: 60ml suspension.

Uses of Stomacid 75mg/5ml Suspension

Stomacid 75mg/5ml Suspension is used to reduce the amount of acid the stomach makes. It helps heal and prevent stomach and duodenal ulcers, eases heartburn and acid reflux, and relieves indigestion linked to excess acid. It may also be used to protect the stomach in people taking medicines that can irritate the stomach lining.

How Stomacid 75mg/5ml Suspension works

Ranitidine blocks H2 receptors on the acid-producing cells in the stomach lining. Histamine normally acts on these receptors to switch on acid production, so blocking them lowers the amount of acid released. Less acid helps ulcers heal and reduces the burning feeling of reflux.

Possible side effects

Most people find Stomacid 75mg/5ml Suspension easy to take. When side effects occur, they are usually mild and may include:

• Headache
• Dizziness

See a doctor urgently if you vomit blood, pass black or tarry stools, have difficulty swallowing, or notice yellow skin, a severe rash or swelling of the face.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, as the dose may need adjusting.
• Ranitidine products have been withdrawn in several countries because of concerns about an impurity, so your doctor may suggest an alternative acid-reducing medicine.
• Persistent indigestion, unexplained weight loss or difficulty swallowing should be checked by a doctor before long-term treatment.
• Tell your doctor about other medicines you take, as reduced stomach acid can affect how some medicines are absorbed.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use Stomacid 75mg/5ml Suspension only on medical advice.

Storage

Store the dry powder below 30°C in a dry place. Once mixed with water, follow the storage and discard instructions printed on the pack, and shake well before each use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
