Altop DSR Tablet

Altop DSR Tablet is a combination medicine used to reduce stomach acid production and improve stomach emptying. It is commonly prescribed for the following conditions:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Altop DSR Tablet helps by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces and preventing it from flowing back up into your food pipe, which relieves heartburn and prevents damage to the oesophagus.
• Peptic Ulcer Disease: It aids in the healing of painful sores in the stomach or upper small intestine by keeping stomach acid low enough for the tissues to recover.
• Acid-Related Dyspepsia: It relieves symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and early fullness after eating by speeding up how quickly food moves through your stomach.
• Nausea Associated with Reflux: It directly targets the signals in the brain and gut that cause feelings of sickness, helping to control nausea and prevent vomiting.

Altop DSR Tablet provides dual-action relief by reducing excess stomach acid while improving stomach motility. The following benefits help improve digestive comfort and support the healing process:

• Provides Effective Relief from Heartburn and Acid Reflux: By reducing stomach acid production, it relieves heartburn, acid regurgitation, and burning discomfort associated with GERD.
• Relieves Nausea and Improves Stomach Emptying: The domperidone component helps food move more efficiently through the stomach, reducing nausea, vomiting, bloating, and the feeling of fullness after meals.
• Promotes Healing of the Digestive Tract: Lower stomach acid levels allow ulcers and inflammation in the stomach and oesophagus to heal more effectively, reducing the risk of complications.
• Improves Digestive Comfort: It helps relieve indigestion, upper abdominal discomfort, and post-meal bloating, making eating more comfortable.
• Supports Better Daily Comfort and Sleep: By controlling acid reflux symptoms throughout the day and night, Altop DSR Tablet helps reduce interruptions to meals, daily activities, and restful sleep.

• Recommended to take Altop DSR Tablet 30 minutes before a meal or as advised by a doctor.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication, to ensure the safety.
• Swallow the medicine as a whole with glass of water.
• Do not crush, break, or chew it.

• Eat Smaller, More Frequent Meals: Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day instead of three large meals to avoid putting too much pressure on your stomach.
• Avoid Lying Down After Meals: Avoid lying down for at least 2 to 3 hours after eating to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into your throat.
• Limit Foods That Trigger Reflux: Identify and limit food triggers that can worsen acid reflux, such as spicy, fatty, or fried foods, caffeine, chocolate, citrus fruits, and tomatoes.
• Elevate the Head of Your Bed: Elevate the head of your bed by 6 to 9 inches using blocks or a wedge pillow to help gravity keep acid in your stomach while you sleep.
• Avoid Tight-Fitting Clothing: Avoid wearing tight clothing around your waist, as this can squeeze your stomach and force acid upward.
• Quit Smoking: Quitting smoking can significantly improve your symptoms, as nicotine weakens the muscle that keeps acid from entering the oesophagus.

• Inspect the Medicine Before Use: Always inspect the package and blister pack before use; do not take the medicine if the packaging is damaged or if the capsules appear cracked or discoloured.
• Long-Term Use Requires Monitoring: If you need to use Altop DSR Tablet for a long time (more than three months), your doctor may need to monitor your magnesium levels through regular blood tests.
• Be Aware of Bone Health: Long-term use of acid-reducing medicines can sometimes increase the risk of bone fractures, especially in older adults; talk to your doctor about calcium and vitamin D supplements.
• Take Care When Driving or Operating Machinery: Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how Altop DSR Tablet affects you, as it can occasionally cause sleepiness or dizziness.
• Inform Your Healthcare Provider About Other Medicines: Keep a complete list of all medications, supplements, and herbal products you take and share it with your doctor or pharmacist before starting Altop DSR Tablet.
• Seek Immediate Medical Attention for Serious Symptoms: Seek medical help immediately if you develop a high fever, severe skin peeling, or joint pain, as these can be signs of rare but serious reactions.
• Use for the Shortest Duration Necessary: Domperidone should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration recommended by your doctor, as prolonged use or higher doses may increase the risk of serious heart rhythm problems, particularly in older adults and people with underlying heart disease.
