About Logem-DX Capsule

Logem-DX Capsule belongs to a class of drugs called 'antacids' used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is characterized by the formation of tumours in the upper part of the small intestine, which leads to excess acid production.

Logem-DX Capsule is a combination of two medicines, namely: 'Domperidone' and 'Lansoprazole'. Domperidone increases food movement in the stomach, which helps avoid the problems related to indigestion, bloating, and fullness. This medicine also restricts the action of a chemical that is responsible for the feeling of vomiting and nausea. On the other side, Lansoprazole works by blocking the action of proton pumps that are involved in producing stomach acid. Thereby, Logem-DX Capsule reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe. Thus, both medicines in combination provide relief from heartburn symptoms related to acid reflux.

Take Logem-DX Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take Logem-DX Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. You may experience diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, stomach pain, or constipation in some cases. Most of these side effects of Logem-DX Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Logem-DX Capsule or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Logem-DX Capsule is not recommended for children as the safety and effectiveness were not established. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Logem-DX Capsule . Drive only if you are alert as Logem-DX Capsule may cause drowsiness. Avoid alcohol consumption as it may lead to increased stomach acid production, thereby increasing acidity and heartburn. Logem-DX Capsule is safe to be used by elderly persons, and no dosage adjustments are required.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): The stomach is usually protected from the acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets irritated or eroded, which leads to complications like GERD, hyperacidity, peptic ulcers, and heartburn. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.

Peptic ulcers: These are sores that develop on the stomach and intestine lining due to erosion of the stomach protective lining. Symptoms include nausea, appetite changes, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and indigestion.

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: It is characterized by the formation of tumours in the upper part of the small intestine, which leads to excess acid production. Symptoms include bloating, burping, weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting.

Therefore, inform your doctor if you have osteoporosis or take any steroids which may increase the risk of osteoporosis.
It is best to take whole grains food like brown rice, green vegetables, sweet potatoes, and carrots to reduce acidity.
Taking Logem-DX Capsule for longer than the duration recommended by your doctor may increase the risk of side effects. Prolonged use of Logem-DX Capsule may lead to heart-related issues due to domperidone. If taken for over a year, it may also result in hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels), vitamin B12 deficiencies, bone fractures, and gut infections due to lansoprazole. Therefore, it is important to regularly monitor your health to determine whether you should continue taking Logem-DX Capsule . Always follow your doctor's advice and discuss any concerns about long-term use with them.
Yes, smoking and alcohol can increase acidity and contribute to GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). Smoking is a major cause of GERD, while alcohol primarily triggers acid reflux episodes. Both smoking and alcohol can weaken the lower oesophageal sphincter, the muscle that keeps acid in the stomach, allowing it to flow back into the oesophagus. Smoking also reduces the amount of saliva that helps neutralize acid in the oesophagus, while alcohol can irritate the lining of both the stomach and the oesophagus. It is advisable to limit or avoid smoking and alcohol to help manage acidity and GERD.
The common side effects of Logem-DX Capsule include diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, stomach pain, and constipation in some cases. Most of these side effects of Logem-DX Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
