Zegecid 40mg Powder
Zegecid 40mg Powder is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcer, and Zollinger Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to pancreatic tumour). It contains Omeprazole, which helps reduce stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn. It may cause common side effects like stomach pain, gas formation (flatulence), nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Whats That
Zegecid 40mg Powder belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcer, and Zollinger Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to pancreatic tumour). Normally a thick layer of mucous protects the stomach against its own acid secretion. But, in the long run, it gets eroded by excessive stomach acid production, leading to complications like GERD, peptic ulcer, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Zegecid 40mg Powder contains omeprazole, which helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This proton pump lies in the stomach wall cells and is responsible for releasing gastric acid secretion. Zegecid 40mg Powder prevents the release of stomach acid and relieves symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.
Zegecid 40mg Powder may cause common side effects like stomach pain, gas formation (flatulence), nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and headache. These side effects are temporary and may be resolved after some time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, contact the doctor.
Zegecid 40mg Powder should not be given to the patient suffering from Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, liver problems, are allergic to any components in Zegecid 40mg Powder, or will have an endoscopy in the future. Ask your doctor if you should stop taking Zegecid 40mg Powder a few weeks before your endoscopy as it may hide some of the problems that would be spotted during an endoscopy. Prolonged use of Zegecid 40mg Powder may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist or spine due to loss of magnesium. Avoid using Zegecid 40mg Powder with St John’s Wort (plant-based antidepressant), rifampin (antibiotic) and methotrexate (anti-cancer and anti-arthritis medicine) due to the severe drug interaction.
Zegecid 40mg Powder is effective at healing erosive esophagitis (inflammation of food pipe), relieving symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, stomach ulcers. Zegecid 40mg Powder works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump gate (which secretes stomach acid).

Drug-Drug Interactions: Zegecid 40mg Powder may interact with a blood thinner (clopidogrel, warfarin), antifungal (ketoconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole), anti-HIV drug (atazanavir, nelfinavir), iron supplements, antibiotic (ampicillin, rifampicin), heart medicine (digoxin) and anti-cancer drug (methotrexate). Let your doctor know if you are taking these medicines.
Drug-Food Interactions: Zegecid 40mg Powder interact with St John's wort plant that is used as an anti-depressant. This plant may affect the working of Zegecid 40mg Powder. So avoid its intake with Zegecid 40mg Powder.
Drug-Disease Interactions: Zegecid 40mg Powder should be not given in patients with C. difficile induced colitis, liver disease, bone fractures, low Vitamin B12 (anaemia), low magnesium (hypomagnesemia).
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): It is a gastrointestinal disorder that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn.
Peptic ulcers: It is a painful condition followed by the development of sores or ulcers in the stomach lining or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) (the duodenum).
Zollinger-Ellison syndrome: It is a rare condition in which a gastrin-secreting pancreas tumour causes excessive acid production, leading to peptic ulcers.
