VELOZ 40MG TAB

Veloz 40 Tablet is a medication that effectively reduces the production of acid in the stomach. It is primarily used to treat various acid-related conditions of the stomach and intestine, including acid reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and other stomach disorders associated with excessive acid production.

In addition to treating acid-related diseases, Veloz 40 Tablet is also prescribed to prevent stomach ulcers and acidity caused by prolonged use of painkillers. It belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which work by inhibiting the proton pumps in the stomach that are responsible for acid production. Taking Veloz 40 Tablet one hour before a meal, preferably in the morning, is recommended. The dosage will be determined based on the specific condition being treated and individual response to the medication. It is important to take the medication regularly at the same time each day as prescribed by your doctor. Even if your symptoms improve rapidly, it is advisable to continue the prescribed course of treatment. Making dietary adjustments, such as consuming smaller meals more frequently and avoiding caffeinated beverages, spicy foods, and fatty foods, may also help alleviate symptoms.

As with any medication, Veloz 40 Tablet may have some side effects, although they are usually mild. The most commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, flatulence, diarrhea, and stomach pain. If these side effects become bothersome or persist, it is recommended to consult your doctor. It is important to note that the risk of side effects may increase with long-term use, particularly with higher doses. Prolonged use (more than 1 year) may also increase the risk of bone fractures. Therefore, it is advisable to discuss preventive measures for bone loss, such as calcium and vitamin D supplements, with your doctor.

In some cases, taking Veloz 40 Tablet for three months or more may result in low blood magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia).

Prior to taking this medication, inform your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are taking medications for HIV, have a history of allergic reactions to similar medications, or have osteoporosis (bone loss). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before initiating treatment. It is important to avoid alcohol consumption as it can stimulate excessive acid production in the stomach and exacerbate symptoms.
