About Arz-On Tablet

Arz-On Tablet is a gastrointestinal medication, primarily used to treat nausea, vomiting, stomach ulcers, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, and erosive oesophagitis (acid-related damage to the lining of the oesophagus). Arz-On Tablet is also used to treat infections caused by Helicobacter pylori and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. GERD is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Zollinger Ellison syndrome is a rare condition in which a gastrin-secreting tumour of the pancreas causes excessive acid production leading to peptic ulcers.

Arz-On Tablet contains two medicines: Rabeprazole and Ondansetron. Rabeprazole belongs to the group of drugs called ‘proton pump inhibitors.’ It blocks the action of the gastric proton pump that is responsible for the production of acid in the stomach. This reduces the amount of acid produced, heals the ulcers, and prevents the formation of new ulcers. Ondansetron belongs to the class of anti-emetics (prevents vomiting). It works by blocking the action of serotonin (chemical messenger) that triggers nausea and vomiting.

Take Arz-On Tablet as advised by the doctor. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your medical condition. Common side effects of Arz-On Tablet include nausea, vomiting, constipation, headache, fatigue, diarrhoea, sore throat, and abdominal pain.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Gastrointestinal diseases: The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity, GERD, heartburn, stomach ulcer, and Zollinger Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Zollinger Ellison syndrome is a rare condition in which a gastrin-secreting tumour of the pancreas causes excessive acid production leading to peptic ulcers. 

Nausea/Vomiting: Nausea is an uneasy feeling in the stomach in which a person feels a strong urge to vomit. Vomiting is a natural response of the body in which a person wants to expel stomach contents from the mouth forcefully. It can be triggered by taste, anxiety, smell, pain, or irritation to the stomach.
