Nogacid Capsule 15's

Question 1

How does Nogacid Capsule 15's works?

Accepted Answer

Nogacid Capsule 15's is a type of medicine called a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Proton pumps are enzymes in your stomach lining that help it make acid to digest food. Omeprazole prevents the proton pump from working properly. This reduces the amount of acid the stomach makes, relieving symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Question 2

How can I manage my long term side effects?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged intake of Nogacid Capsule 15's may weaken your bone and lower haemoglobin level. Your doctor may prescribe you Vitamin B-12 for enhancing haemoglobin and calcium/vitamin D/magnesium supplements for bone health.

Question 3

What are the long term effects of Nogacid Capsule 15's?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged intake of Nogacid Capsule 15's may lead to atrophic gastritis (inflammation of stomach cells), Vitamin B12 deficiency and weakening of bones or osteoporosis (loss of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D). Your doctor may prescribe calcium, vitamin D or haemoglobin enhancing medications to cope with long term side effects.

Question 4

Does Nogacid Capsule 15's also treats stomach cancer?

Accepted Answer

No. Nogacid Capsule 15's is not prescribed for stomach cancer. Do not take Nogacid Capsule 15's until your doctor has prescribed you. Nogacid Capsule 15's is only indicated for the treatment of hyperacidity, acid reflux symptoms (GERD), heartburn and Zollinger Ellison syndrome.

Question 5

Are gas and acidity same thing?

Accepted Answer

No. Gas and acidity are two different common discomforts. Acidity is caused when improper functioning of the valve (sphincter) is located at the junction of the stomach and food pipe. As a result stomach acid backflows and enters the upper part of the food pipe causing heartburn. On the other hand, gas is the result of the digestion of the food and drinks eliminating gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, etc. from the body.

Question 6

Does Nogacid Capsule 15's interfere or affect laboratory test reports?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nogacid Capsule 15's can alter certain medical tests like neuroendocrine tumours (secretin stimulation test), and urine screening tests for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). So before undergoing such diagnostics test contact your doctor.

Question 7

Does Nogacid Capsule 15's treat gastric bleeding?

Accepted Answer

No. Nogacid Capsule 15's prevents excess production of stomach acid, causing acid reflux and heartburn. If blood is coming in your stool or mucous, immediately contact the doctor.
