About Ozotac 25mg Injection

Ozotac 25mg Injection belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents. It is used to treat and prevent stomach ulcers, indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), and indigestion. It works by decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach.

Ozotac 25mg Injection contains Ranitidine, a histamine-2 (H2) receptor blocker that helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of the H2 receptor. The H2 receptor lies in the parietal cells of the stomach wall, and it is responsible for gastric acid secretion. Excessive gastric acid secretion damages the tissues in the food pipe, stomach, and duodenum.

Ozotac 25mg Injection is administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Ozotac 25mg Injection shows some common side effects like headache, diarrhoea, stomach ache or abdominal pain, constipation, and feeling sick. These side effects are temporary and may get resolved after some time. However, if these side effects persist, contact your doctor.

Before receiving the Ozotac 25mg Injection, notify your doctor if you are allergic to any medications or foods. If you are pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, or if you are a nursing mother, please notify your doctor. Also, before receiving the Ozotac 25mg Injection, inform your doctor if you have or have had kidney, liver, heart, lung, poor immune system, diabetes, stomach cancer, or porphyria (hereditary disease).

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid acid or heartburn-triggering foods or drinks like onions, peppermint, chocolate, caffeinated beverages, citrus fruits or juices, tomatoes and high-fat and spicy foods.
  • Before going to sleep, raise your bedhead, so your head and chest are higher than your feet. Do not use piles of pillows; one raised block is fine. This will not allow the stomach acid to backflow through your food pipe.
  • Avoid taking alcohol and smoking cigarettes. Alcohol can raise the production of stomach acid leading to heartburn and acid reflux. On the other hand, nicotine smoking damages the valve (sphincter), preventing stomach acid backflow into the food pipe.
  • Include high fibre-containing foods, berries, cherries, leafy green veggies (kale, spinach) and black peppers in your meal.
  • Fermented dairy products like miso, sauerkraut, and kimchi contain probiotics which help prevent excess stomach acid production. Cranberry juice can be beneficial for peptic ulcers and H Pyroli infections.
  • Avoid regular sitting continuously, as it can increase stomach acid production. Take a break of 5 minutes in 1 hour by brisk walking or stretching.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Peptic ulcers: Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the stomach and intestine lining due to erosion of the stomach's protective lining. Symptoms include nausea, appetite changes, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and indigestion.

Dyspepsia (indigestion): Indigestion is the feeling of fullness. It occurs due to slow gastric emptying. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, nausea and vomiting.

Heartburn: Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest caused by stomach acid rising to the oesophagus (acid reflux). If this occurs repeatedly, the condition is known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
