About Silpraz 40 mg Injection

Silpraz 40 mg Injection belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors used for the short-term treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and stomach ulcers caused by NSAIDs. It also reduces the risk of further ulcer bleeding following an endoscopy in adults. Silpraz 40 mg Injection is indicated in adults and children aged 1 month or older who have had damage to their oesophagus and are unable to take esomeprazole by mouth.

Silpraz 40 mg Injection contains 'Esomeprazole' that works by reducing the amount of acid made in the stomach. As a result, it relieves symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and stomach ulcers.

Silpraz 40 mg Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, Silpraz 40 mg Injection may cause headache, diarrhoea, stomach pain, constipation, wind (flatulence), nausea, vomiting, and injection site reactions such as pain, itching, swelling or redness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and may resolve with time. However, if they persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Do not take Silpraz 40 mg Injection if you have/had any allergy or hypersensitivity to esomeprazole, any other proton pump inhibitor medications (such as pantoprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole, or omeprazole), or any of the other ingredients in Silpraz 40 mg Injection. Let your doctor know if you are taking nelfinavir (used to treat HIV infection). Consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or intend to become pregnant.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid intake of acid or heartburn-triggering foods or drinks like onions, peppermint, chocolate, caffeinated beverages, citrus fruits or juices, tomatoes, high-fat and spicy foods.
  • Before going to sleep, try to raise your bedhead so that your head and chest are higher than your feet. Do not use piles of pillows. Instead, one raised block is fine. This will not allow the stomach acid to backflow through your food pipe.
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking. Alcohol can raise the production of stomach acid leading to heartburn and acid reflux. On the other hand, smoking damages the sphincter, which prevents backflow of the stomach acid back into the food pipe.
  • Include high fibre-containing foods, berries, cherries, leafy green vegetables (kale, spinach) and black peppers in your meal. These foods are full of antioxidants, calcium and vitamin B 12 that can help cope with the long-term effects of the medicine.
  • 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 infection.
  • Avoid sitting continuously as it can increase stomach acid production. Take a break of 5 minutes in 1 hour by brisk walking or stretching.

FAQs

Silpraz 40 mg Injection belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors used for the short-term treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and stomach ulcers caused by NSAIDs. It also reduces the risk of further ulcer bleeding following an endoscopy in adults.

Silpraz 40 mg Injection impairs the function of proton pumps. This decreases the quantity of acid produced by the stomach, thereby helps treat GERD.

No. Gas and acidity are two different conditions. Acidity is caused due to improper functioning of the valve (sphincter) located at the junction of the stomach and food pipe. As a result, stomach acid backflows and enters the upper part of the food pipe, 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.

On long-term treatment, Silpraz 40 mg Injection may cause low magnesium levels. Low magnesium levels can make you tired, confused, and dizzy and cause muscle cramps, shakiness, and an irregular heartbeat. Inform the doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.

Silpraz 40 mg Injection may alter certain medical tests like secretin stimulation tests and urine screening tests for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). So, if you are undergoing diagnostic tests inform your doctor that you are taking Silpraz 40 mg Injection.

Silpraz 40 mg Injection may slightly increase the risk of hip, wrist, or spine fracture, especially if you take it for longer than a year. Let your doctor know if you have osteoporosis or are taking corticosteroids (which can increase the risk of osteoporosis).
