About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Lafaxid 10 Tablet contains Lafutidine 10mg, a potent histamine H2-receptor antagonist used primarily for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. Lafutidine works by selectively inhibiting H2 receptors on gastric parietal cells, thereby reducing the secretion of gastric acid and promoting mucosal defense mechanisms. This dual action not only decreases gastric acidity but also enhances mucosal blood flow and stimulates the production of mucus and bicarbonate, contributing to the protection of the gastric lining. Lafaxid 10 is indicated for the management of conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and erosive gastritis. It is also effective in preventing the recurrence of ulcers and alleviating symptoms related to hyperacidity, including heartburn, epigastric pain, and acid regurgitation. The recommended dosage is typically one tablet daily or as prescribed by a healthcare professional, with administration preferably before meals for optimal efficacy. Lafaxid 10 is generally well tolerated; however, patients should be monitored for potential adverse effects such as headache, dizziness, or gastrointestinal disturbances. It is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Lafutidine or any excipients present in the formulation. Consultation with a healthcare provider is advised prior to initiating therapy to ensure appropriate use and to evaluate for potential drug interactions.
