Benefits of Sulgiride 25mg Tablet

In Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux): Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition which is like having heartburn consistently rather than just occasionally. It happens because a muscle above your stomach relaxes too much and allows stomach contents to come back up into your oesophagus and mouth. Sulgiride 25mg reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective.Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
In Irritable bowel syndrome: Irritable bowel syndrome is a chronic (long-term) inflammatory disease of the large intestine (colon) that usually needs long term management. This can lead to bleeding, frequent diarrhea and abdominal pain. Sulgiride 25mg can relieve these symptoms effectively. Continue taking Sulgiride 25mg for as long as the doctor may advise you to. You need to take this medicine regularly to get the most out of it and you should drink plenty of fluids while taking it to make sure you stay hydrated.
In Heartburn: Heartburn is a burning feeling in your chest caused by stomach acids travelling back up towards your throat and mouth (acid reflux). Sulgiride 25mg improves the movement of food in the stomach and helps prevent heartburn.You should take it exactly as it is prescribed or as it says on the label for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help stop or reduce heartburn. Avoid oily and spicy food, have simple food instead, and consult a dietitian to get a diet chart that suits your requirements. Exercise daily to stay active and maintain a healthy body weight.
