How it works:
Siozole 20mg Capsule is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the stomach lining.
This enzyme is what makes gastric acid flow into the stomach.
Siozole 20mg Capsules stop this enzyme from working permanently by:
Decreases the production of stomach acid,
Helps with heartburn,
Helps ulcers heal and
Stops acid from hurting the esophagus.
A single dose can have an impact for up to 24 hours.

Medicine interaction:
Siozole 20mg Capsule can make clopidogrel less effective, so try to avoid taking them together.
Warfarin may increase the risk of bleeding, so it requires careful monitoring.
Methotrexate: Siozole 20mg Capsule can raise the levels of methotrexate, so be careful when using it.
Antifungal medications (such as ketoconazole and itraconazole): Since stomach acid is lower, there is less absorption.
HIV medications (Atazanavir, Nelfinavir): Avoid combining them because they may not work as well.
Minor Interactions:
Could change how well iron, calcium, and vitamin B12 are absorbed.
Taking PPIs with antacids or H2 blockers may make them less effective. Keep a time gap.
