Frequently asked questions
How long should I take Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR?
Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR should be used as prescribed by your doctor for different durations and dosages based on your individual condition and response to treatment. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to achieve the best outcome. Depending on the illness you are being treated for, you may need it for a short period or longer term. Do not stop taking it even if you feel better, as this could worsen your condition. Always consult with your doctor before stopping Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR if you have completed your course or wish to discontinue its use.
How does Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR work for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid flows into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), sore throat, sour taste, or burping. Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR acts by reducing stomach acid production and alleviating the symptoms of GERD.
Can Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR cause calcium deficiency and osteoporosis?
Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR can contribute to bone loss (osteoporosis) because it decreases calcium absorption, potentially leading to calcium deficiency. This increased risk of fractures is particularly prevalent over time; common locations include the hip, wrist, or spine. Inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or are taking corticosteroids. It's essential to discuss with your doctor how to best manage this risk. Your doctor may recommend calcium or vitamin D supplements to reduce this risk.
Can Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR cause diarrhea?
Yes, Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR can potentially lead to diarrhea as a side effect in some individuals. This is often not serious, but if you experience persistent watery stools that do not subside alongside stomach cramps and fever, seek medical assistance immediately. These symptoms are likely due to the overgrowth of harmful bacteria called C. difficile, also known as Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR reduces natural stomach acid, which normally helps in killing bacteria and can lead to uncontrolled diarrhea with associated symptoms like stomach cramps and fever.
Can long term use of Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR cause magnesium deficiency?
Long-term use of Dxlasmart 30 Capsule MR in patients taking multiple daily doses for a year or longer (at least three months) can lower your magnesium levels. It's important to have regular monitoring of your magnesium level and inform your doctor if you experience seizures, dizziness, an abnormal or fast heartbeat, jitters, jerky movements or shaking (tremors), muscle weakness, spasms in the hands and feet, cramps, muscle aches, or spasm of the voice box.
