Benefits of Gasotin 1mg Tablet
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition
which is like having heartburn consistently rather than just occasionally. It
happens because a muscle above your stomach relaxes too much and allows
stomach contents to come back up into your oesophagus and mouth. Gasotin 1mg Tablet
reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated
with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed
for it to be effective.
Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think
about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more
frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways
to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
