In Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition in which there is an excess production of acid in the stomach. PPI D 30mg/20mg Capsule reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight, and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
In Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease
Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores or ulcers develop in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). PPI D 30mg/20mg Capsule reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking the medicine as it is prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.

How PPI D Capsule works

Throat infection from neck to chest jalan and chest pain
I am suffering from heavy coughing at night somehow from 3 weeks. During starting 2-3 days it was a very sore throat, i was not able to speak even.While coughing Initially it is a dry cough but after coughing sometime, it comes with mucus. It stops automatically when I vomit or after 10-15 mins. Or after it becomes chronic. I have taken azithromycin 6 tabs. And also taken fynal oz, dilosyn syrup and doxomax-12tabs.each after consulting a doctor. Doctor told it is a throat infection. During the course of fynal oz and doxomax, I felt okay. But after the course i.e from yesterday, the cough is back. I don't understand the possible cause. I am a smoker since 2 years (not heavy smoker, generally 2-3 cigarettes/day). Bt since the problem started, I have quit smoking.
