About Dexsofighter 60 Capsule MR

Dexsofighter 60 Capsule MR is used to treat heartburn caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when gastric acid reaches the oesophagus and causes pain, heartburn, and inflammation. Erosive oesophagitis is a condition in which the oesophagus gets damaged by harmful acid, resulting in inflammation, scarring and ulcers.

Dexsofighter 60 Capsule MR contains Dexlansoprazole, which helps reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, resulting in the healing of the ulcers and preventing the formation of new ulcers.

In some cases, you may experience common side effects, such as headaches, diarrhoea, stomach pain, constipation, gas, nausea, or vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these undesirable effects persistently.

Inform your doctor before taking Dexsofighter 60 Capsule MR if you have liver disease, osteoporosis, low bone mineral density (osteopenia), or low blood magnesium levels.
