Ulcezole 60 Mg

Ulcezole 60 Mg

Description:

Ulcezole 60 mg delayed-release capsules are a prescription proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medicine containing dexlansoprazole, used for the treatment and prevention of acid-related disorders of the stomach and esophagus. Manufactured by Marcyrl Pharmaceutical Industries (MPI), Ulcezole 60 mg is specifically formulated to reduce excess gastric acid, promote healing of erosive esophagitis, and relieve symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) such as persistent heartburn, acid regurgitation, and chest discomfort. The dual delayed-release technology provides prolonged acid suppression over 24 hours, allowing once-daily dosing and sustained symptom control.

Indications:

• Treatment of erosive esophagitis (inflammation and damage of the esophageal lining caused by stomach acid).
• Maintenance of healed erosive esophagitis and reduction of relapse risk.
• Treatment of heartburn associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults and adolescents as directed by a physician.
• Relief of symptoms related to acid reflux such as burning sensation in the chest, sour taste in the mouth, regurgitation, and upper abdominal discomfort.
• Management of chronic acid-related conditions where long-term acid suppression is clinically indicated, under medical supervision.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Dexlansoprazole – 60 mg per delayed-release capsule (proton pump inhibitor).
• Excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (capsule shell components, stabilizers, and fillers) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the official package insert for complete excipient information.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Ulcezole 60 mg is for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your physician.
• Typical adult dose for healing erosive esophagitis: 60 mg (one capsule) once daily, usually for up to 8 weeks, or as directed by your doctor. Actual duration may vary based on clinical response.
• Typical adult dose for maintenance of healed erosive esophagitis and control of heartburn: your doctor may adjust the dose and duration according to your condition; follow medical advice strictly.
• Capsules should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsules, as this may affect the delayed-release mechanism.
• Ulcezole 60 mg may be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day for consistent acid control.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not stop treatment abruptly without consulting your doctor, especially in long-term therapy, as symptoms may return or worsen.
• Use in children and adolescents should only be under specialist medical supervision and according to approved dosing guidelines.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides potent and sustained reduction of stomach acid by selectively inhibiting the gastric proton pump.
• Promotes healing of erosive esophagitis and helps restore the integrity of the esophageal mucosa.
• Effectively relieves frequent heartburn and other GERD symptoms, improving daily comfort and quality of life.
• Dual delayed-release formulation offers prolonged 24-hour acid suppression, supporting once-daily dosing and consistent symptom control.
• Helps prevent recurrence of erosive esophagitis and chronic reflux symptoms when used as maintenance therapy under medical supervision.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to dexlansoprazole, other proton pump inhibitors, or any component of the formulation.
• Do not use Ulcezole 60 mg for mild, occasional heartburn without medical evaluation; it is intended for diagnosed acid-related conditions.
• Long-term use of PPIs may be associated with increased risk of bone fractures (hip, wrist, spine), especially in elderly patients or those with other risk factors. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary.
• Prolonged therapy may be associated with vitamin B12 deficiency, hypomagnesemia, and possible increased risk of certain infections (e.g., Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea). Periodic monitoring may be required in long-term use.
• Use with caution in patients with severe liver impairment; dose adjustment or alternative therapy may be required. Consult a hepatology or gastroenterology specialist if needed.
• May mask symptoms of gastric malignancy. In the presence of alarm symptoms (e.g., significant weight loss, persistent vomiting, dysphagia, gastrointestinal bleeding, anemia), malignancy must be excluded before starting treatment.
• Potential drug interactions with medications such as certain antiretrovirals, antifungals, anticoagulants, and drugs dependent on gastric pH for absorption. Inform your doctor of all medicines and supplements you are taking.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Use in pregnancy should be based on a clear medical need and physician recommendation.
• Consult your doctor before use if breastfeeding; the decision to continue/discontinue breastfeeding or therapy should be made by a healthcare professional.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, osteoporosis, low magnesium levels, or are taking diuretics, digoxin, or other PPIs.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision and diagnosis.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, flatulence, and constipation.
• Less common side effects can include dry mouth, dizziness, fatigue, skin rash, or itching.
• Serious but rare side effects may include severe allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing), severe skin reactions, persistent diarrhea, or signs of liver problems (yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, severe fatigue). Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• Long-term use may be associated with low magnesium levels (symptoms: muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, seizures), vitamin B12 deficiency (fatigue, weakness, neurological symptoms), and increased fracture risk. Contact your doctor if you experience concerning symptoms.
• If any side effect worsens or you notice any unusual symptom, stop taking the medicine and consult your healthcare provider promptly.
