Are gas and acidity the same thing?

No. Gas and acidity are two different discomforts. Acidity is caused due to improper functioning of the sphincter (valve located at the junction of the stomach and food pipe). As a result, stomach acid backflows and enters the food pipe's upper part, causing heartburn. On the other hand, gas is the result of the digestion of food and drinks, eliminating gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, etc., from the body.

Does Ozerol 40 Injection interfere with or affect laboratory test reports?

Yes. Ozerol 40 Injection can alter certain medical tests like neuroendocrine tumours (secretin stimulation test) and urine screening tests for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). So before undergoing such a diagnostics test, contact your doctor.

Does Ozerol 40 Injection treat gastric bleeding?

No. Ozerol 40 Injection prevents excess production of stomach acid, causing acid reflux and heartburn. If you find blood in your stool or mucous, immediately contact the doctor.
