Faq For Medicine

Q1. What does Deltone 60mg Capsule MR do?

It lowers stomach acid to treat GERD, heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and ulcers in the stomach or duodenum.

Q2: Is it safe to take Deltone 60mg Capsule MR when pregnant?

Yes, but only if your doctor says so. When the benefits are greater than the hazards, it is quite safe.

Q3. Should I take it before or after I eat?

Because it has two delayed-release forms, you can take dexlansoprazole with or without food.

Q4. How long does it take to start working?

Most people feel better from heartburn in 1 to 2 days, but it can take 2 to 4 weeks for the pain to go away completely.

No. Finish the whole course as directed; stopping early can cause acid rebound and symptoms to come back.

Expert Advice

• Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule. Just swallow it whole with water.
• Wait two hours before or after taking iron supplements or antacids.
• Stay away from spicy foods, coffee, alcohol, and meals late at night, which can make acidity worse.
• Long-term use (more than a year) may drop levels of magnesium or vitamin B12, therefore it's a good idea to get your blood checked every so often.
• Tell your doctor if you have diarrhea that lasts for a long time, bone discomfort, or tiredness.
• Keep up your good habits, such eating small meals often, working out often, and not lying down just after eating.

Side Effects

• Side Effects That Happen Often:
• Pain in the head
• Stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting
• Bloating or gas
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Mouth that is dry
• Serious side effects (although not very common):
• Low magnesium levels might cause muscle cramps or an erratic pulse.
• Vitamin B12 deficiency (numbness and weakness)
• Higher chance of breaking a bone if used for a long time
• Severe allergic responses, such as a rash, swelling, and trouble breathing
• If you have severe or long-lasting adverse effects, get medical help right once.

 How It Works

• It is a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) that works on dexlansoprazole.
• It stops the H⁺/K⁺-ATPase enzyme system in the stomach lining, which is the last step in making acid.
• This effect lowers the amount of stomach acid made for a long time.
• With its dual delayed-release technology, it releases two different drugs at different times. This means that one dose a day can manage acid for 24 hours.

Medicine Interaction

• Stay away from or use carefully with:
• Antifungal medicines like ketoconazole and itraconazole are less effective.
• HIV drugs such atazanavir and rilpivirine may not work as well.
• Warfarin – the chance of bleeding goes up.
• Methotrexate—could make methotrexate more hazardous.
• Digoxin and Dexlansoprazole may make digoxin levels in the blood higher.
• Taking iron supplements or calcium carbonate may make it harder for your body to absorb them.
• Always tell your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking.

 How to Use

• Take one capsule every day or as directed.
• You can take it with or without food.
• Do not break or crush the pill; just swallow it whole.
• For constant acid control, try to take it at the same time every day.
• Take the missed dose as soon as you recall, but don't take it again if it's almost time for the next one.
