Chexid 30mg Capsule 10 is a medicine used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe, and to heal peptic ulcers. It is a single-ingredient medicine containing lansoprazole, and belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors.
This medicine works by reducing the amount of acid made by the stomach, which allows irritated or ulcerated areas to heal. It is also used to clear H. pylori bacteria when taken with antibiotics, and to manage Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other conditions that cause excess stomach acid. Swallow the capsule whole with water, and use the dose and duration your doctor prescribes.
Eating smaller meals, avoiding spicy, fatty or acidic foods that trigger symptoms, and not lying down straight after eating can help ease reflux alongside this medicine.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any other medicines you take and any long-term conditions, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Long-term use can lower magnesium and vitamin B12 levels and may increase the risk of fractures, so use it only for as long as your doctor advises.
