Used For:

Dextop 60mg Capsules typically contain Dexlansoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to manage and treat:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux
• Erosive esophagitis (inflammation and damage to the esophagus caused by stomach acid)
• Heartburn relief and prevention of acid-related damage to the stomach and esophagus

It reduces the production of stomach acid, helping alleviate symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing.

• Diarrhea
• Stomach pain
• Gas or bloating
• Headache
• Dizziness

Rare but more serious side effects may include vitamin B12 deficiency (with long-term use), bone fractures, low magnesium levels, or allergic reactions (such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing).

Precautions:

• Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of liver disease, low magnesium levels, or osteoporosis, as long-term use of PPIs like Dexlansoprazole may increase the risk of bone fractures.
• Long-term use should be closely monitored by your doctor, especially in older adults or individuals at risk of bone density issues.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider to evaluate the risks and benefits before using this medication.
• Avoid taking the medication with alcohol or smoking, as they can aggravate GERD symptoms.
