Axid Neo 40mg capsules are a medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and stomach ulcers. It contains the active ingredient nizatidine, which is a histamine-2 blocker that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
The pack size of Axid Neo is 14 capsules, which is divided into two packs of 7 capsules each. The recommended dosage for adults is 150mg twice a day or 300mg once daily at bedtime for up to 8 weeks for the treatment of GERD. For the treatment of stomach ulcers, the recommended dosage is 150mg twice a day for up to 4 weeks. The dosage may vary based on the individual's medical condition and response to treatment.
Axid Neo can cause side effects such as headache, dizziness, constipation, diarrhea, and nausea. Rarely, it may cause more serious side effects such as liver problems or allergic reactions. It may also interact with other medications, so it's important to inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other medications you're taking before starting Axid Neo.
Axid Neo should not be taken by pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers without consulting their doctor. It should also be used with caution in patients with kidney or liver problems, as the dosage may need to be adjusted.
