BLOCKCID L TABLET

Question 1

How does BLOCKCID L TABLET work?

Accepted Answer

BLOCKCID L TABLET is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ilaprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Ilaprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Levosulpiride works by increasing the release of a chemical messenger (acetylcholine), which increases the movement of the intestines and stomach, preventing the acid from going towards the food pipe. Both medicines in combination provide relief in acid-related problems.

Question 2

Does BLOCKCID L TABLET cause diarrhoea?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea might be a side-effect of BLOCKCID L TABLET. Drink enough fluids and eat fiber-rich food if you experience diarrhea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience excess diarrhea consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Question 3

Can I lie down after having meals?

Accepted Answer

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent acid reflux. Raise the head of the bed 10-20cm by putting a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This helps in preventing acid reflux.

Question 4

Does BLOCKCID L TABLET cause bone fractures?
