Product introduction

By reducing the amount of acid, it helps to heal ulcers and alleviate symptoms of GERD, such as heartburn and acid reflux.
Vonacid 20mg Tablet may be taken with or without water. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Try to take it at the same time each day for maximum benefits. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding diet and other lifestyle changes to support your treatment. Avoid lying down immediately after taking the medication to prevent acid reflux.
Common side effects of Vonacid 20mg Tablet include nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, bloating, high blood pressure, and urinary tract infection. If you experience these symptoms, discuss them with your doctor. They may be able to suggest ways to manage or reduce them. Drinking plenty of water and eating smaller, more frequent meals can help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
While taking Vonacid 20mg Tablet, avoid foods and drinks that can trigger acid production, such as spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine. Inform your healthcare provider about all other medications and supplements you are taking, as Vonacid 20mg Tablet can interact with other drugs. It is also important to avoid smoking, as it can exacerbate GERD symptoms. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their doctor.
