PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Algene-kid 15 Tablet is a medication that reduces stomach acid production and is used to treat acid-related conditions in the stomach and intestines, such as acid reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and other conditions linked to excessive acid production.

Additionally, Algene-kid 15 Tablet is prescribed to prevent stomach ulcers and acidity that may occur with prolonged painkiller use. It belongs to a group of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). The recommended administration is one hour before a meal, preferably in the morning. The dosage will depend on the specific condition being treated and individual response to the medication. Even if symptoms improve rapidly, it is important to continue taking the medication as directed.

To enhance the effectiveness of the treatment, it is advised to consume smaller, more frequent meals and avoid caffeinated drinks (like tea and coffee) as well as spicy or fatty foods.

Commonly observed side effects may include nausea, headache, flatulence, and diarrhea. These side effects are typically mild, but if they persist or become bothersome, consulting a doctor is recommended. Prolonged use of this medication may carry an increased risk of side effects. For example, using it for more than one year might elevate the risk of bone fractures, particularly with higher doses. Patients are advised to discuss with their doctor ways to prevent bone loss (osteoporosis), such as considering calcium and vitamin D supplements.
