CompositionAciloc 300 Tablet is used to treat and prevent stomach and duodenal ulcers and to relieve acid reflux (GERD) and heartburn. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing ranitidine 300mg, which belongs to a class of medicines called H2 receptor blockers (H2 blockers).
This medicine is also used to heal acid damage to the food pipe and to manage Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, a rare condition that causes very high stomach acid. It lowers the amount of acid the stomach makes. Take it at the time your doctor recommends, often at bedtime, and continue for the prescribed duration.
Eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy, fatty or acidic food, limiting tea, coffee and alcohol, and stopping smoking can reduce acid symptoms and help ulcers heal.
