FAQs

Patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding/ulcer, movement disorders, mechanical obstruction or perforations (holes) in the intestine should contact a doctor before using CT-Pride 1mg Tablet 10's.

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of CT-Pride 1mg Tablet 10's. Drink lots of fluids/water and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea.

Avoid lying down immediately after meals. Raise the head of the bed 10-20 cm by putting a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. Besides this, avoid smoking, alcohol drinking, and eating spicy oily foods. This will helps to prevent acid reflux and heartburn.
