Composition: Each 5ml contains: Lactulose ................ 3.35 gm
Properties: Sedalac is a synthetic disaccharide which is poorly absorbed. In the small intestine, Sedalac is not broken down by disaccharides and reaches the colon unchanged where it is degraded by saccharolytic bacteria into low molecular organic acids: acetic acid , formic acid, mainly lactic acid. This results in acidification of the colonic contents, and increased osmotic pressure ensuring the formation of soft stool and the stimulation of bowel movements with large dose the PH of the colon is reduced significantly causing a decrease in the absorption of toxic nitrogenous compounds with a subsequent fall of blood ammonia in patients with hepatic encephalopathy.Indications:
  • Treatment of chronic constipation.
  • Adjunctive treatment of hepatic encephalopathy.
  • Disturbance of the intestinal bacterial flora (as in cases of long term treatment of antibiotics).
Contraindications Patients with galactosemia. Intestinal obstruction.Precautions: Sedalac should be given with caution in diabetic patients as the syrup contains small quantities of galactose and lactoseDosage and administration: Treatment of constipation:
  • Adults: 3 teaspoonfuls 2-3 times daily increased to 60 ml if necessary.
  • Children: Over 6 years: 1-2 teaspoonfuls twice daily. 1-6 years: 1 teaspoonful twice daily.
  • Infants: Half teaspoonful twice daily.
Adjunctive treatment of Hepatic encephalopathy:
  • Initially: up to 3 tablespoonfuls 3 times daily then adjusted to the normal daily dose.

BENEFITS OF ESOFAG-D CAPSULE SR

In Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition which is like having heartburn consistently rather than just occasionally. It happens because a muscle above your stomach relaxes too much and allows stomach contents to come back up into your oesophagus and mouth. Esofag-D Capsule SR reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
SIDE EFFECTS OF ESOFAG-D CAPSULE SR
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Esofag-D

  • Flatulence

  • Dryness in mouth
  • Headache

HOW TO USE ESOFAG-D CAPSULE SR

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Esofag-D Capsule SR is to be taken empty stomach.

HOW ESOFAG-D CAPSULE SR WORKS

Esofag-D Capsule SR is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Esomeprazole.

Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.

How does Nexium work?

Nexium tablets 20mg contain esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor that is used to treat conditions caused by excess gastric acid, by reducing the amount of gastric acid released into the stomach.  Stomach acid is needed for digestion of proteins in the diet and is made by the parietal cells of the stomach wall.  Gastric acid production is dependent on the action of the enzyme H+/K+-ATPase, which is the proton pump responsible for pumping positive hydrogen ions out of the cells into the stomach, which increases the acidity of the stomach contents.  Esomeprazole in Nexium tablets 40mg inhibits the functioning of the H+/K+-ATPase, which prevents acid secretion by blocking the source of acid production.  This action of esomeprazole in Nexium tablets 20mg reduces the acidity of the stomach contents, which reduces the acid damage that can be caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and oesophagitis and relieves symptoms caused by excess gastric acid like heartburn and dyspepsia.  By inhibiting gastric acid secretion Nexium 40 also helps prevent the formation of gastric (stomach) and duodenal (upper intestine) peptic ulcers and also helps ulcers and damage caused by gastric reflux to heal.
